I'm much more tired than I should be, but I'm okay with that.
Had a very lovely weekend in which I did very little. I didn't see anyone but Merrick, and I'm quite okay with this. A nice low key weekend is very welcome on occasion.
Got out a few minutes early on Friday. Himself was already in bed but had asked me to come poke him when I got home to see if he wanted to wake up. Came and poked him, he didn't want to get up, but we chatted for a few. He went to sleep, and I just curled up and went to sleep with him. Saturday was just hanging out. We didn't plan anything that night, as I'd wanted a weekend off. So I cleaned my apartment and baked pies, then finished up the weekend watching movies upstairs, and finally giving up and going to bed while Merrick programmed. He came to bed about the time I was ready to get up.
So I got up to let him sleep, cleaned up more around my place, then went upstairs to rouse him for our fishing trip. Very slow fishing - I caught two smallish catfish, he didn't catch anything, unfortunately. The fishies are still on ice in the cooler, as I've learned my lesson ever since Frankenfish a few weeks ago. But we stopped at the grocery store on the way home to pick up a few things and discovered Fry's has marked the Halloween stuff down to 75% off. Himself bought me the electric pumpkin carver I wanted (which is now added to the supplies for next year) and a nifty black metal tree with purple(ish) lights. I'll be replacing them with blue ones soon enough. Merrick says the lights are more pink than purple, and if Goth Barbie had an accessory, this would be it. But it looks neat. I'm thinking I'm gonna put a star and some ornaments on it for Christmas (since I don't have a tree). It should be cool in a funky goth kinda way. I made dinner after getting home from fishing and shopping and assembled the tree while Merrick watched and offered commentary. Now, my nice clean kitchen is messy, I don't overly care enough to clean it (due to the aforementioned me being tired), and I'm probably going to bed sooner than I should. Just staying up long enough to make bloody sure those fishies are dead before I turn them into filets, then I'll take out the trash and head to bed. After going to retrieve my pillows from upstairs. I really need to get a second body pillow...
