Today was my short day at work. Came home, washed some clothes and changed clothes... tried to something with my hair that ended up at least semi successful. I made Tanya a small pan of apple crisp just for her since she didn't get any last weekend. Then I headed over to her place about 11:30.

Tanya and Rae took off early today so that we could head over to Como Zoo and Conservatory to see the gardens and the animals and then head our for dinner for my and Tanya's birthdays. The flowers were beautiful. The fern room is my favorite. I could find myself a quite corner in that room and stay for hours. We saw the animals too, including the polar bears and seals playing in the water. There was a baby orangatun but we weren't able to see it when we were there. I'd definitely like to go back this spring when the butterfly garden is open and the Japanese gardens.

After we went over to Koy Sushi for dinner. Got there a bit early so we browsed the army surplus store down the street until closer to time for the restaurant to open. We have a few rolls of sushi and a drink each. Tasty sushi, but not all that hungry at the time after having lunch late at the zoo. It was good. I want to try and remember someof the ones were browsing on the regular menu to try next time.

Headed home pretty early. By a few minutes after six, were were headed south toward home. Stopped at Cracker Barrel on the way for desserts, but at the time I wasn't feeling any of the dessert offerings even though I was a bit hungry by then. Had a cup of potato soup. It was good. And I tasted Tanya's apple dumpling and Rae's cola cake. Those were good too.

I don't know ... I just wasn't feeling myself tonight. *shrugs* I hurt from coughing. I've been coughing almost constantly since I got home. Everyone was tired. Hopefully all will be feeling better and refreshed by Saturday when we're suppose to swimming with the boys.
