Last night was a lot of fun, but I may have over-imbibed! Let me get the rest of the week out of the way, though; I haven't done much of anything. Monday & Tuesday I went to the gym; that was okay. On Monday I skipped fifteen minutes of the cardio I'd planned, but on Tuesday I did fifteen minutes more cardio than I had expected (watching the penultimate episode of Warehouse 13) so it all evened out. Work has been chock full of meetings, so I've had to cancel a bunch of lunches-- like, why do the stars only align enough to taunt? To crack the doorway, but go no further. R'lyeh rises almost to the surface...then sinks again. I canceled on Chris only to find out that Nicole & Denine were in town to meet with Shakira (?!) So I crammed a bunch of stuff on my schedule around & went to go meet them; we hung out while Denine looked up Shakira on Wikipedia, then we went to NBC & hung out there, before I parted ways with them & they went on the tour. I haven't seen Nicole since the last time I was in the Wasteland. That is the basic summary of my week to date, otherwise; I don't even think I've been wathing television-- just reading & turning into a vegetable. Oh, on Tuesday I had a CSA pick-up, & we got five ears of corn, two pounds of fingerling potatoes, two squashes, an eggplant, a bushel of tomatoes, a head of lettuce, two things of basil, "some herb" which turns out to be sage, four pounds of apples, a bunch of carrots, & maybe some other stuff I'm forgetting. Probably.
