I considered waiting till sometime when I might be more coherent before trying to update, but given the ice storm we're expecting, I should probably post something while we still have electricity. [Hummingwolf pauses to check that the battery-powered radio is working and wonders once again what the heck happened to her flashlight. It's got to be around here somewhere!]
Anyway, there was a weekend! Friday night was one of those nights when I could barely keep my eyes open, so I decided early on to give in to the inevitable. Stayed in bed for the next twelve hours. Must've needed it.
Saturday: Can't remember doing anything particularly interesting during the day, but in the evening I went out to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lyssabard and tlttlotd's place to hang out with a friendly group of people. Good company, as always. Good food too--Lyssa made tasty creamed chicken & biscuits, hasufin brought homemade brownies, and there were a variety of chocolate bars which made me very happy indeed. We sat watching the Food Network for a while, marveling at the chocolate sculptures while thinking about the waste of good chocolate. Later, we watched Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, though I must admit that during part of the movie I was paying rather more attention to the splendid back/shoulder-rub I was getting at the time. One unfortunate soul became a bit too well-acquainted with the toxic aspect of intoxication, so after people made sure that nobody needed to go to the hospital, the evening ended with us all being about as quiet as we could be.
Sunday: I woke up before anyone else was moving around, so I ate a couple brownies for breakfast and read for a while, then went back to sleep because it was that kind of morning. Once others started getting up and showered, there was some discussion about where we should go for breakfast. By the time we all got out and moving it was really more like late lunchtime, so the Indian buffet we went to was an excellent choice. After lunch we had fun looking around in the nearby Indian grocery store. I was much amused by the existence of Indian Style Chinese Fried Rice, which the Doctor took a picture of. Anyway, after we'd wandered around for a bit, the Doctor & Lyssa dropped me off at home, where I spent the rest of the weekend resting.
Monday: Spent morning dealing with bureaucratic voice mail systems. We hates them. Later in the day I went to the library, which was vastly more entertaining than any bureaucratic voice mail system. Fed bits of poetry to MegaHAL. Walked about 2.5 miles total, but only about half a mile at a time.
Tuesday: Watched the snow falling down. Read assorted stuff, both offline and online. Listened to music. Did not get any phone calls. Watched the sleet falling down and listened to it bouncing off the windows. Wondered if going out for a walk might not be a bad idea. Went walking in the sleet anyway. Soon (I believe) I shall watch some television, and after that I intend to sleep for a while. Here's hoping that the worst of the ice storm will pass us by.
