And then it went downhill. We went to an Italian restaurant for dinner -- La Botte. The reviews were positive and it got a Michelin star in 2009, the last year the LA restaurants were rated. So we expected something great. Instead, we had an awkward waiter who just stood there waiting for us to give us his drink, appetizer, and entree orders instead of asking what we wanted. And we were waiting forever for the waiter to take the order and then to bring the check. And the worst part was that the food just wasn't worth it. =(
Anyway, we were excited because after that we were going to a party hosted by one of my coworkers who lives down the street from us. It was going to be easy -- go there, hang out, have a few drinks, and walk back. Except that we locked ourselves out of the apartment. After calling a locksmith who failed to open the door (apparently we have a special un-pickable lock), we walked over to the party where the host was gracious enough to let us crash with him and then drive us to the management office to get a spare key in the morning.
On Sunday morning, we avoided the street closures from the LA marathon and drove through the rain to get our key and go home.
But unfortunately, after getting home and taking a nap and cooking dinner, we went back into crisis mode. A friend had relationship issues and the friend who let us crash with him needed a jump -- both at the same time. So after running around for a bit trying to help, we had a chance to take a deep breath and eat some semi-yummy Indian food for dinner. (It's always a risk when we make two new dishes for dinner but luckily they both turn out okay.)
And you may be wondering, why is this week relaxing? Well things are in good shape at work and my sister is coming into town on Wednesday night. It should be a good time =D
expecting more updates on this week(and it will be relaxing as you expect, Good luck) and regards to Saila.
