The Anniversary

Things are finally starting to settle down a little which is good considering that in the next two weeks a huge weight will either fall on us or get lifted from our shoulders. After the 22nd of this month we'll know if we are going to get the help we need for Hannah's back.  We've been waiting since early spring and the wait has been awful.  But in the meantime: the homework is coming along-ish (I need to get some serious writing done soon but the reading is actually coming along rather well), and the sickness that Hannah and I had the weeks prior to our anniversary seems to have subsided.  Also all major paperwork has been completed.  The last thing I still need to do is to send in my laptop.

This past weekend Hannah and I celebrated our anniversary.  On Saturday we went to a party for my boss's husband and had delicious Italian food, then we went into Spokane.  We ran around several stores (Ross, Toys'R'us, Torrid, Claire's, and the Comic Book Store) and didn't find anything to buy really.  However, coming out of the comic store we did run into a couple of Doctor Who cosplayers and they were adorable!  After all this running around we went to one of our favorite Chinese places in Spokane: Peking North.  Please do not confuse this for Peking Palace, which is the worst place to eat in all of Spokane and possibly the world.  Peking North was delicious, as expected, and we brought home enough food to make another meal.

After dinner we went to Hastings and found a used copy of the entire series for Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok as well as some other fun gems (*cough* 13 Wishes *cough*).  The only down side of that entire evening as the pumpkin spiced hell latte from McDonald's.  All we wanted was a quick drink on our way home.  Hannah ordered a coke and I thought I'd be brave and get a latte.  Well... it was like burnt coffee with some kind of syrup (not the kind that ought to be put in coffee) had been trickled down over ice.  It was so disgusting it almost made me cry (oh emotions!) and I actually had to dump it out at the first stop light because having it in the car made me sad.

The next day, Hannah and I went shopping again, just some places around Coeurd'Alene.  We grabbed a little lunch and went to the lake.  We nabbed some really pretty pictures and would have spent more time playing in the water (just our toes since it was freezing!), soaking in the last of the Northern sun, and being silly, but the camera batter died.  Before we left, we sat together on a bench at the top of the little hill near the lake and I read her a poem out of Lucifer: A Hagiography.  It was such a delightfully nerdy anniversary.

Someone's awesome merging of Avenger Loki and anime Loki.
