So we closed our eyes and said goodbye
I decided to go home rather than the movies after work last night, which was a good decision on one hand because I didn't spend money on a movie and also I stopped off at the grocery store to pick something up and discovered they were stocking the grapefruit beer I've fallen in love with, so that was a win, but I did end up getting soaked twice. We had some truly apocalyptic rain last night, and I was on a bus for the worst of it.
And then I got to the bar and didn't see my friends so I went to the upstairs bar to wait, and wait, and wait some more, until finally I went back downstairs and there they all were. And I was like, "But I emailed you to say I was here!" and they were like, "Who checks that?" (which... okay! Clearly in some ways we have drifted apart!)
but aside from that, it was a lot of fun (though I could have done without the shot of Jäger. I mean what? Even when I was in college it was shots of Rumpleminze (or occasionally, Wild Turkey), never Jäger. At least not for me and D.). The bar is shockingly upscale now, and so clean! And there's toilet paper in the bathrooms and soap and no visible bug life, and it was just weird!
But I was home by 11:45 and in bed shortly thereafter, and I felt fine this morning. I'm supposed to meet up with D. and her kids for dinner this evening, because I'm the godmother to her daughter and I haven't seen her in...a really long time. Which I feel terrible about, but they live in London!
So while I'd hoped to have the accidental baby acquisition/pretending to be married story done tonight or tomorrow for Steve's birthday, that might not happen. Otoh, the weather tomorrow is supposed to be rainy, so I'm planning to stay home, so writing could happen. Along with an Enlisted marathon, maybe. Who knows?
