Weekend Wrap Up

Well, my first booze-free weekend has come to an end and I survived!! There were certainly moments throughout the weekend where I almost quit or drank out of habit, but overall, it wasn't too bad!

Friday night Neil went out to dinner with his friend Nick and I stayed in to get some extra snuggle time with Clark. Saturday morning I woke up (much easier to do when you don't drink the night before) and took Clark to the dog park, then I met my friend Annie and her husband for a yoga class in Bucktown. We then went back to their place where Ben cooked us brunch. It was so much fun to catch up with them and hang out.

When I got home, I felt kinda sick so I chugged a bunch of water and that didn't help. Then, my whole right arm and face started going numb and tingling and it traveled over my whole face and tongue and onto my left side. It was the craziest feeling ever! Now, in the past when I've gotten a migraine, I've had the tingles so that  didn't scare me at first, but then it went to my tongue and I freaked out. Luckily Neil was on his way home because I seriously thought I was going to die!

Thankfully, I didn't die, but I did get the most intense migraine. Neil got me a few Poweraids to down and I kept drinking tons and tons of water and for the most part, it flushed the pain away. But for about 4 hours there I was crying in pain. So happy that passed relatively quickly!

Since Neil and I haven't had a date night in ages, I didn't want anything to stop us from going out, so we went to dinner at a cute Italian place in Andersonville. The food was good and the ambiance was adorable!

Yesterday we went to look at some rehearsal dinner venues and had lunch at Goose Island. When we got home Neil gave Clark and bath and I cooked and cleaned a bit. Nothing is better than a clean Clark. He's so soft, smells so good and is super tired from the bath. So I spent the remained of the weekend squeezing Clark and watching Downton Abbey. OMG, how crazy was that episode?!!?! I can't wait another year to see more!!!
