Catching up
My trip to Texas was lovely (I've been back for over a week now, just hadn't gotten around to updating...) It was hot, except for the last couple of days, when I thought it was perfect and actual Texans went around in sweaters and hats. We went to a Natalie McMaster and Donnell Leahy concert, and to the ren faire, and watched all of the original Jonny Quest show, and made roast duck and apple pie and tortilla soup and all sorts of other tasty things, and walked the dog and petted the kitty when he wasn't being murderous, and I got to sleep in most days, and of course I was with Lannie most of the time (whenever she wasn't at work) and it was great :) I fail at pictures, though - not taking the camera will do that I suppose. It was good to come home to my boys, though <3
Not to jinx it, but Arthur has been sleeping in his own room nearly every night since I left. I think he's come in twice since I've been home, and once it was only at 6am, so it was nearly time to get up anyway. This whole sleeping-through-the-night thing is wonderful, I hope it continues. Nevertheless, I was still really tired this week, but that was more my own fault due to staying up too late a few nights. I got to sleep in this morning, at least.
Garden is nearly all harvested for the year - there are still some carrots and onions to dig out, otherwise it's done. It was pretty successful - more rapsberries, tomatoes, and celery than we could reasonably use, a sensible number of zucchini and carrots, somewhat underperforming but still tasty peppers and onions, totally failed beets and peas. I suppose that averages out to a good year? And next year there will be harvestable rhubarb, om nom nom.
Now I'm trying to plan my game for tomorrow (blaaaargh, probably only 3-4 sessions left, wrapping up is the WORST EVER) and wishing I was reading more of this amazing 55,000 word Sherlock fic or thinking about YT (something by Heyer? Martha Wells? YAFGC? oh gods how will I narrow it down to only 3 nominations!) instead. Oh, and I have readings for my media studies seminar to get caught up on before Tuesday, and no idea when that will happen @_@ And Merlin has started up again, need to get torrenting so I can watch that with Lannie <3
