Black Friday

No, I did not go to a shopping mall today. I do like crowds sometimes, but only happy crowds, not impatient shoppers shoving people aside in an attempt to get the best deal on something they never really wanted anyway. I did walk through a mall parking lot on my way to somewhere else, which was bad enough.

Still not feeling all that well. Eventually I made my way to a library, which was unusually empty and quiet; checked out a couple of DVDs; carefully made my way past a crowded shopping mall; and went to a supermarket, which was also unusually empty and quiet. Here at home I've been doing things like reading or talking to relatives on the phone, but now I'm thinking it must be my bedtime and how oh how can it be only 8:40 in the evening? My bed is calling me, and you know you need sleep when your bed starts talking to you. Good night, my dears.

sweet dreams! i've been needing lots of sleep this week, too, so i get that about the bed calling.

Mmm... sleep. I've pretty much spent today resting, but I think bedtime will be early again tonight. If the body keeps telling the mind to sleep, then I hope the body knows what it's doing!

Shopping mall? What are these "shopping malls" you speak of?? (I don't remember the last time I visited one... But that does remind me.. I'd best get out to Berkeley springs antique shops to find some stocking stuffers...

Hee! This time of year, shopping malls are places full of irritable people and bad Christmas music. I prefer to avoid them--especially on weekends--but I do need to go to them occasionally to forage for cleaning products.

How is life going out there in the wilds?

We're slowly getting back into a routine of seeing people... We haven't had Mithlond weekend for a while but have been thinking about having one sometime after the beginning of the year.

There have been several major adjustments (move, longer commute for me, new job for Ri). Things are starting to conform to the shape of their new container (or the container is being shifted to match us better), but it's taken some time.

Oh, I hope to see you folks sometime. Haven't seen either you or Ri since... spring 2009? Something like that. I'm glad your container seems to match you better now.

Yes - the weekend you came over and helped us in the garden! We will have to come out some weekend and kidnap you (or arrange for other kidnappers to bring you out).
