excellent weekend
After the yo-yo week that just finished, we all figured we needed a good weekend. We missed srinde's party due to exhaustion, slush, and being on-call, although I'm sorry we missed it.
N. and I made cookies all day (just one batch, but we weren't working very fast), and a pan of rice crispy treats. We wound up with about 20 spicebread men (no ginger, ginger is nasty) with some apple buttercream I had in the freezer. Then we wandered over to spyderbug and syaldia's house for massive cookie excess in overload. The guys left me to my fate at the party and went home. I stayed on until around midnight and got a ride home from srinde.
Today after bagels we went to meet my cousin and his wife at American Tobacco for lunch. We hadn't realized it was an entire year since we'd seen them last, so we said we'd try to get together more over the next year. We agreed that this year has been particularly hard for all of us, and that next year would be better.
Then we had family swim day at the Homestead pool, which was a blast. A. and I decided to quit wrestling in the water before we got thrown out for excess horseplay, but we all had a great time.
Good weekend, much better than the week.
Oh, since I know some of you are interested, my mom-in-law is doing so-so OK with her broken wrist. She's not very happy having to figure out how to do a bunch of things that take two hands, but she doesn't much like asking for help either.
And while I'm updating, I'd like to update everyone on my foot - I'm finally back to walking as much as I was before the re-injury the day before we left for Pennsic. I've switched types of glucosamine and it really helps a lot. I'm hoping I'll continue to improve, and maybe I'll be better than I was.
