A Tale of Two Birds

Welp I'm still in bed at 1:13 PM. I had quite a night. Sick as a dog, again. Again, of course, implying that I've been sick like this before.  I have a temperamental little GI tract.  I basically upchucked all my yummy Ten Top dinner, which I'm still pissed about. I payed good money for that dinner! I'll spare the details but let me tell you, it wasn't fun.  Luckily Nate's mom is a walking pharmacy so she delivered some strong drugs to minimize the pain and nausea. She is a kind kind woman. I really can't emphasize that enough. So I didn't go to work today because I still felt like a ball of crap when I woke up.  Anyways.  Yesterday evening I went to the Mid-Atlantic flower show in Virginia Beach.  A waste of $10 to get in to the actual show, which wasn't really all flowers like I had thought.  There were some vendors in front of the entrance of the show that were selling some pretty plants.  I bought a Declaration Lilac that I hope I'll be able to pot and put on the back porch.  I know those things can get pretty big but hopefully with maintenance pruning it won't get too out of control.  I also snagged a climbing Yellow Jasmine.  I wish I had space for a really tall trellis for it to grow on. I'm really excited to watch them grow (hopefully).
