Just When You Think
You’ve almost drowned,
you find yourself on solid ground
It just barely warrants mentioning that I’ve been busy lately. That can basically be assumed until further notice which is both good and bad, I suppose, depending on who you ask. A few low-key days would serve me well in any case.
My St. Patrick’s party went excellently, as did dinner at Kristen’s place two days later. Josh and I have discovered mojitos, which are served more often than not with whole mint leaves. Drinks with leaves in them are definitely something elves would have, so thus ends the search for “my drink”. It’s too bad the lime-mint-rum drink didn’t have a more elegant-sounding name, but I’ll revert back to the tried and true Bloody Mary when my yen for a cool drink order surfaces.
We went to Chili’s after church that week, which was probably, in retrospect, a better venue choice for Josh and I for when we are eating meat again (five days!). One or two whole menu spreads are exclusively carnivorous, or as Mike put it: Vegetarian? Not today!
The week continued with archery, youth bible study, a night of D&D campaign chatter (Kalashtar warlock for me, when all was said and done), making curtains for my room with mom, making spaghetti sauce all by myself, having Julie and Daniel and Christina over for supper and game night, youth leaders meeting, bowling, having Banu and Shailyn over for a sleepover, visiting Josh’s grandma, church, nachos with the original afterchurch crew (plus Josh and minus Connor and Dillon), Friends Church with Dean and Lyndsay followed by lunch and shopping and tea in Kensington, dinner with my family and, again, youth bible study. It was a great week and weekend, and I am tired.
Maybe it’s due to some mild sleep deprivation, but I’ve been noticing (for the lack of a better description) that I’ve been kind of stupid lately. Wide open for a joke, I know, I know, but in all seriousness, where is my head? In the past when I’ve had these bouts of mental absence, I’d say things and even while saying them, know that they weren’t right. This time, it’s taken someone pointing out my errors for me to realize. Somehow these instances have been most frequent at D&D but definitely don’t stop there. Hopefully this week I can get to bed early and regain some clarity because this is just getting embarrassing.
Cool things coming up are Easter weekend (thus the end of Lent and the start of bacon), Kim’s art release, seeing Betrayal at Theatre Calgary, screening #2 of Wizard People, and grandpa’s 85th birthday. Hello, April!
