Monday
First day home alone. I'm mostly numb today, a bit blue, but not bad. I keep having to stop myself from all the little rituals: the treat before I leave the house, the morning and evening feeding, the walk, the treat before bed, pre-wash of dinner dishes. Evenings have been especially weird, I'm not sure why.
I dreamt about him last night: I'd taken him for a walk, apparently, and had taken him off the leash before getting all the way home, and he didn't come home. My father(?!) said that, since I couldn't take care of him, I couldn't have him any more. Tristan did finally show up, as well as another corgi. I was quite relieved.
Thank the gods we have two cats, one of whom is a total love-slut.
Saturday night went and had a fun and LOUD dinner with Aleta, Sue, and Barb. The waiter was extremely cool about these loud, drunk (some of us), early-middle-aged women. I'm not sure what the other patrons thought, though I noticed they sat as far away from us as possible. Sunday Elf and I picked up Marce and Doug and went to Franck and Aleta's for beaucoup de munchies and a game of "Arkham Horror." I was a little down that day, alas, but it was good to see everyone. Barb and Sue were there for part of it, though they didn't get to play the game. The game, alas, was not as fun as I'd been hoping, but I'd be willing to give it another try when I'm in a better mood. Ought to at least go smoother next time, as we kind of have the rules down now...
Today I have to start the new Amber Lotus jobs -- the first is due at the end of this week. I've already got the gym over with and the auto-pay bills recorded in the checkbook, so this is good. AND the Sierralupé Yule gifts are finally gone south, where they belong. Some stuff off the list that should have been taken care of looooong ago, but they're gone now. Yay. ^_^
Okay. Gotta get the minutes fixed and summarised, then off to art, I guess. ^_^
