Back at the grind.
3 January 2006 09:38Getting through today will be... interesting. New Year's and its associated celebrations have resulted in a nocturnal sleep schedule for me, which I failed to shift over yesterday when I did NOT have work... Hence, I woke up at 4:30pm yesterday, took a short nap from 4:45-7:15am, and now am at work. Haven't needed to caffeinate yet, but I assume that there's some soda or tea in my future. Assuming
tpau and I are attending our normal WW meeting this evening, I won't be asleep again until 8ish this evening.
Warning: I've only showered once this year!! ;)
Friday was a wonder of accidental socialization.
cthulhia was on the lookout for Something To Do, so I offered myself up for a dinner companion. While on the way home from work,
etherial called, also looking to hang out, and I invited him along. We worked out a deal with cthulhia and her friend
hathor_ to meet for some sushi, and upon arriving there, immediately ran into
siderea who had plans to dine at the same establishment. We all joined up together, ate an immense amount of sushi, (the others) drank a sufficient amount of sake, and (everyone) generally had a grand time. Afterwards, etherial and I returned to my house to wake up
londo and play V:TES long into the night.
...after which I had to wake up early on Saturday morning, but was also able to return to bed a few hours later and sleep until afternoon, cementing my nocturnal cycle for the next few days. Headed out to the Buttery's New Year's party at about 8pm. Ate, drank from a 1 liter bottle of root beer that almost everyone assumed was alcohol of some type, socialized, showed off my knitting, continued the never-ending "knitting at parties" debate with londo (and involved a few new people, notably
43duckies), got a fun horn-type noisemaker to blow at midnight, shared an absolutely smashing midnight kiss with my sweetheart, and played Trivial Pursuit until... 3:30am? At that point
alexx_kay had been kind enough to promise londo and I a place to sleep, so we trudged over to his house, made up some pallets (I got the cushions!) and crashed.
Woke up 3:30ish on Sunday. Puttered around with
kestrell,
corwyn_ap, and his sweetie for a few hours before
alexx_kay woke up and we (kes, alexx, londo, and I) headed back to the Buttery. Sadly I could only stay for a short while before leaving due to commitments back at home. Eventually londo came back too, and we stayed up late watching episodes of Angel (season 4!) before falling asleep at, um, 3ish? 4ish? No clue.
...but we did wake up at the afore-mentioned 4:30 yesterday. Mm, sleep catchup. Utterly failed to do any housework (laundry and recycling are needed) but I DID get an extraordinary amount of knitting done (all done with the collar! Now it's time to pick up stitches for the body...) and watched two more discs of Angel. Season 4 is full of me yelling at the TV set. We finished a disc at 4:30am, so I decided it was time to catch a FEW Zs before sunrise. And now I'm here.
Hrm. You probably didn't really need that much detail. But, y'know, if I don't keep myself busy here today, I'll fall asleep. ;)
