… if seemingly very short.
FRIDAY
Relatively quiet evening at home that turned into a Very Late Night. I got sucked into doing quotation research (tracked down some pretty tricky ones, and culled several more for future WIST installments), and looked up to realize it was after 1 a.m.
I still claimed moral victory over Margie, though, who had gotten up at 10 saying she was heading for bed, started checking her e-mail, etc., and was still at it when I finally declared I was going to bed.
SATURDAY
Slept in until 10:30, which was not my intent, but as late as I could sleep with the phone ringing for various reasons every hour or so from 8 a.m.
We went out and did some errands that I’d expected would take about an hour-plus, and basically ran us to the end of the day. Got some solar-powered yard lights to try out, as well as some other stuff we’d been looking for at Target. We also bought some Christmas storage boxes for our more valuable/fragile ornaments.
Got home in enough time to do some prep work for our parish Hungry Flock dinner thang. Jackie swung by with Kaylee to pick up Katherine. Dinner party thang was fun as usual, and then we had a chance to chat with Jackie a bit before heading home.
Fell asleep on the couch with Margie watching Colbert.
SUNDAY
Got up and did churchy stuff. I got to do the reading for Genesis 1:1-5, which is pretty iconic.
Did the January watering out front. Yay!
Spent the afternoon doing bills.
Doyce and Kate invited me and family out for dinner for my birthday. We went to Big Bill’s, which was yummy as usual.
Came home, caught up on some blogging, and hit the sack at a reasonable hour.
