It's inevitable, the fact that we're going to get down to it.

Today is Mike's 25th's birthday. To celebrate, we slept in late, picked up lunch at Whole Foods and went to the lake. It was a gorgeous hot day, with puffy white clouds drifting by and the lake is full to the brim. The sandy islands we saw in March are all gone, and it requires very little climbing over the rocks to get down into the water now. We floated and paddled around for hours, drying out on the big limestone and granite boulders. I was full of that ravenous hunger and pleasurable fatigue from all the swimming and sunlight.

Dinner was at Drakula, where Mike and I went on our first date back in December. They make superb meatballs and stuffed cabbage. Mike ordered the "castle drakula" which was a big chunk of chicken covered in cheese and mushrooms over a ton of buttered vegetables. There was Romanian wine, and Romanian pop music. We were happy. Then we picked up cupcakes, a little ice cream cake and beer for our evening festivities of video games. Oh, and Doritos, because I think I sweated out every bit of salt in my body.

One of Mike's rats is named She Who Hates Me. She is the biting kind. Part of her fur is falling out and it looks like she has a tumor. Poor thing. She's still eating and moving around, and doesn't seem to be in too much pain. Oddly, I owe part of my current relationship to She Who Hates Me. If she hadn't bitten me, I would never have used the Hello Kitty bandaid. Hahahah. Too weird.
