Sunday evening... and a beautiful one, at that
There are 9 computers right now that could be hooked into our wireless signal. I think we have at least 6 actively working. Yes, our house is a hotbed of people striving to connect back to reality. The wedding is over and it's time to finish eating all the food (UGH! So much!) and opening all the presents (of which I actually got one because an aunt got my sister some towels that weren't in her colors and didn't include a receipt so YAY ME!) and just generally picking up the house (which isn't that bad, really). I need to do some laundry but just about everyone needs to right now and I'm off for the next three days so my need isn't urgent. I do almost wish I had taken off time next week... when no one is around and I'll actually be housesitting for my uncle and aunt. But I can get away from people just as well outside. Even the mosquitoes are better than my hot room at the moment! I'm giving it a bit longer to cool down before I head up.
Attempted a nap this afternoon but that didn't work. Maybe I'll head to bed early tonight. Just a thought. I've been keeping such odd hours that going to bed EARLY can't be a bad thing. I'm bushed - and not just because I haven't been sleeping so great (the heat) but because I've been a trooper when it comes to hanging out with people over the last week. The girl mingling at the wedding? Yeah, that was me. I talked to just about everyone who stayed for the reception! And that girl who has been kind to her Portuguese-only speaking guest today when the interpreters were off sight-seeing? Me again! Being all "I will endeavor to understand you even though we both know I'm only getting part of what you are trying to convey" when I really want to curl up with my book.
So I very much doubt I'll be hanging with the "fam" much this week or next. My people reserves are TAPPED OUT. Now I need some time just to myself with my computer and all the wonderful people there. Amazing how I don't get as tired out communicating over the internet. It's been my salvation, that's for sure.
Off to see if anything has come up that my muse needs to take care of. I think she's sleeping though. She wasn't as active at church as she normally is. I usually get at least one random story idea there. Nothing today. Or maybe I didn't hear her!
