Home again, home again, jiggity jig.
John and I both got exceedingly punchy on the drive home yesterday -- for some reason, I'd be fine for half an hour to an hour, and then suddenly I'd get overwhelming sleepiness. Pull off, switch drivers ... and I couldn't actually NAP to get RID of it. Grr. At one point we actually stopped at an outlet mall and did some bra shopping because neither of us were safe to drive and it was a good way to get a break -- of course, I was also too punchy to shop efficiently, so it was probably unintentionally hilarious for the staff. :->
On our way into the city, we swung by ashnistrike-and-Nameseeker's place to retrieve Boston. He apparently really, really missed us. He moped and cried most of the weekend, and then forlornly trailed around after their cats in the hopes one might turn into Ajax and play with him. Also, he's off his feed.
John and I did something we may regret, as a precedent, and took him into our bedroom for the night shift -- a crate in the closet in case he wanted it, but he didn't; he slept like a particularly exhausted rock on the coverlet between us alllllllll night. He's still sleeping the weekend off, trailing after me and setting up shop on whatever couch is nearest for another nap. He's off his feed, but I expect that to fix itself once Ajax is back (the final missing piece of His Pack).
Speaking of, that's my next task -- retrieving Ajax from my dad's house. Then deborah_c's plane comes in circa 3PM to O'Hare, so I'll pick her up and bring her back home with me. Tomorrow morning I drop the Honda off at CarMax at 8AM so they can put in the airbag controller unit; tomorrow evening the whole household (sans canines) troops off to chezdork for dinner.
While we were up there, my sister-in-law corvicula1979 took the chance to hand-me-down some of her less-used apparel and unwanted-anymore books, so you folks may be seeing me in more velvet, furbelows, and frilly girliness than usual, when it comes to clothes. Included in the batch is quite a lovely black-and-red leather corset, which I am SO wearing to my next con! *happysmile*
