I'm back!
SJW was amazing. Ah-MAA-ZING!
I went mainly so I could overcome the mental block I had created when it came to bootblacking and perhaps to come away with some ideas for improved communication and balance in our relationship.
I got that. And so much more.
I have no idea why I didn't think about meeting people before I went. But I didn't. I never even thought that I would add people to friend's lists and that these would be people that I actually consider friends. That I would share things and look forward to sharing more AND hope to see these people again. I want to go and visit other groups. I got a greater community out of this weekend, that I not only didn't expect, but never even thought about.
I don't think I delved as deep into the introspective side of me as, in retrospect, I would have liked. But I got a lot out of the weekend and just felt GOOD leaving it. Plus I have my book. I plan on reading more of the essays in it and working through the worksheets in the future.
Though not this weekend because WHOA things are busy. Two dinners at 7 on Friday, but we're only going to make one. Then hopefully we'll make the art walk in Mid-City. Then Rocky Horror! Then Saturday we have two crawfish bowls, some charity show, and...something else that I can't even remember right now. Plus a few other things that we aren't even considering making because there are only so many hours in the day and weekend.
Plus I'm currently taking a new kitten under consideration. And he's in Metairie so we'd have to travel to go pick him up. I don't know - we have to discuss. Right now I'm waiting on my man to get home and indulging in my late-night-he's-not-here vice: Murder She Wrote. I think I'm going to grab his boots and do some work on them while I indulge.
