Prompt Answer: Favorites Place To Go In My City

~ Theodora Vanyar ~ Leave a comment

What is your favorite place to go in your city?

As usual, I have a very roundabout answer to this. The too long, didn’t read version answer is “it depends on the city”.

One hundred and fourteen addresses since my birth in June 1985. I only really remember 1992 and onward, to be honest. Seven was a defining year; my little brother Mal was born that February. It was the beginning of my parentification, but I love him so much and am so proud of who he has become and the life he built for himself.

So. Where I am now? It’s the public libraries or this amazing local ice cream place that has some of the best damn ice cream I’ve ever had. Like, lemon cardamom, blackberry with lime, and cherry almond flavored. In Chicago, it’s Chiu Quon in Chinatown. Cash only, but fucking amazing food for as long as I can remember.

6-ish Hours Until I Need To Drop Llama Off At the Airport

1 Goal List To Be Made Tomorrow

Still tired, in pain; but far less than yesterday and Sunday evening.

We have to be up and out the door by 0530 tomorrow. Ugh. I will be sad to see Llama go, but I hope she had fun this trip.

Take your meds, folks.

Edit: son of a bitch! I fell asleep before hittting post again.

Llama and I drove from Madison to a town called Steven’s Point to visit Herrshner’s. It’s an amazing craft warehouse with an attached retail store. It is absolutely a danger zone for people like me, people that are multi-crafters.

3 Types of Cheese Purchased at The Cheese Chalet

1 Really Bad Pain Day

Lician, Brian, and I went to Ehelnbach’s Cheese Chalet today and it was amazing! I mean, I was absolutely not fond of the ‘cheese fudge’. Cheese and milk chocolate is not a flavor combination that I enjoy. But! We did get an amazing applewood smoked butterkase cheese, a habanero jack cheese, and another that I can’t remember right now.

We got boneless wings on special tonight! It was buy fifteen boneless or bone in wings, get fifteen for free if you ordered in the restaurant app. But they goofed hard. We ended up getting 30 of the flavor Lucian wanted, 15 each of the two flavors I wanted, and another 15 of the no sauced ones Brian wanted. It was great!

My brother and his hubby took me out for a post-birthday, yay for new job dinner tonight! We went to a local hole in the wall called Parthenon Gyros. Brian bought us all dinner, a gyro plate with extra tzatziki sauce and Wisconsin cheese fries on the side for yours truly, which was super sweet of him.

1 Cardigan Finally Given to Grandma Gator!

We made the trip to and from Aunt and Uncle Gator’s place today. It was a good day. Loud, but full of laughter, family, and a birthday cake for me! I finally gave Grandma Gator the cardigan I crocheted for her! I’m really happy with how it turned out and she loved it! I have to get up super, super early for my flight home tomorrow.

Take your meds, folks.
