Restless

Bleah. 11:30 on a sunday night, and everyone seems to have gone to bed... no email... not even spam. Right now, I'm bored enough to read spam. Pat's asleep, I'm wide awake. I tried just now to send an IM to a friend... and she quit within 2 minutes, without replying. Probably annoyed with me, although she seemed fine at kokoro43's party an hour ago.

This weekend... I was at work Friday night to 3am, then again Saturday until 6pm, trying to catch up on promised abstracts, mobile exploration papers and an air traffic control tool analysis. patgreene's extended illness and recovery have put me behind -- I only time-budgeted being down for 1.5-2 weeks, not three weeks.

Last night Pat and I went to rmjwell's 40th birthday party... RJ seemed cheerful, the snowcones were excellent, 7patches was cuddly in a friendly way, I saw the_ogre for the first time in months, met zpiduda for the first time and got to congratulate someone on his test results. Or at least give a hug. And Pat got out of the house...

After church today, I made a large Sunday dinner (fried shrimp, ears of corn, baked potatoes, green-onion bread) and took a 2-hour nap. Then dropped in on Scott's gathering after the kids were fed and tucked-in.

This week... hopefully I'll get both cars back, catch up at work, get my next full STD test battery and go to parent-participation meetings at David's school on Wednesday, before skating.

Sounds like everyone had a great deal of fun at the various parties. I'm surprised, though, that you'd never met zpdiduda before. She was at the party at our place last weekend, though it's possible she'd already left by the time you arrived. LJ is cool, though--I don't think I'd describe MYSELF as having met her till she posted something right before Loving More. And she'd been in my pool SEVERAL times by then. *sigh*

Good luck with the tests, cars, and school meetings!

I've enjoyed getting to know you through LJ, Dawn -- and I look forward to more of the same, both virtually and live. It was great meeting Brian for the first time at RJ's party after seeing his posts here. I *did* feel like a bit of a dolt when, after discovering that the "Pat" at RJ's party was "patgreene" here, I said "oh! you're the one who has been having all the problems! I hope you're feeling better." A strange thing to hear from a complete stranger, but Pat was gracious.

Don't worry about it. :>
