verbicideJeff's visit this morning was a piece of heaven. I pounced him and the poor guy eventually had to peel me off. I swear, he must exude some endorphin-like chemical, because he just makes me so damn happy. We set out for Cafe Besalu to get coffee and chat and catch up and then tragically, he eventually had to go off for his swim, and I was quite unrepentently late for Stitch 'n Bitch.
I drove to Judy's with my yarn in tow. I've been putting off all these projects, and watching Jeanne, the knitting-machine, has shamed me into picking up some of the things I've been meaning to do. It was also a nice chance for me to get to know Julie better, who is a friend of Judy's from a different group. She's a really warm and wonderful person and I hope to hang out with her more soon. So that was cool. We stitched, we bitched, and it was a good time.
Afterwards, I hung out at Judy's and we caught up on a few details about work and upcoming changes. Judy's very kindly volunteered to act as backup for Jeff who will be taking care of Hobbsie while I'm in Big Bear this Christmas. It was really a relief because Sarah will be out of town, and so will Ellie and Jeff, my other backup pet-sitters. And I'm particularly anxious about this trip because we'll have just moved the previous weekend before I leave. Jeff's been very reassuring, saying that if Hobbes seems particularly upset, he can stay there at night if needed.
Last night was also awesome. I caught a quick, early dinner with Sarah at Sofrito Rico (I can't get over how amazing their rice and beans are). And then I picked up supplies for build-your-own sundaes and drove out to Ravenna. I haven't seen some of these friends in awhile, and these bashes are always awesome. KC and Jen hosted poker night and while I didn't play last night, it was so good to be around people again. It's been an isolated, boring week. I used to be more hermitish, but clearly not anymore. I was bouncing up and down just to be out of the house and around the loving mass that is this group.
Finally, last but certainly not least, Amy sent me my birthday present! Early as always, and perfect as always. It's a book called "Dare to Repair" with a great picture of Rosie the Riveter. It's a do-it-yourself book for any woman who wants to take care of shit herself and not rely on a contractor. I'm really excited about it, because I knew I was going to need to buy something exactly like this. It's really laid out well and easy to read. Thanks again, Amy!!
Wow, Sunday's over. Or it feels that way since it's pitch-black outside. And so chilly! I'm looking forward to getting back into my routine tomorrow. Even French and Alexis resumes as of tomorrow. This week has been such a surreal departure from normalcy. I'm glad it's over, as needed and restful as it ultimately was.

Date: 2005-11-07 02:08 am (UTC)I just need to pull out my Godfather DVDs and take a shot. That's all, really, I'm just lazy. And for some reason, fatigued today. God knows why. Not like I've actually done anything.
