Busy Weekend

shannon_aThere was no gaming this Saturday. We should be back to our normal schedule next week (and perhaps?? finish Savage Tide). However, I managed to keep myself busy.
On Saturday I had a relaxing lunch out, then spent most of the day writing. I'll write about that more in this week's History Book post, but I probably spent a good 6-8 hours between Friday night and Saturday.
We'd planned to go to Target again for groceries, but Kimberly ended up too tired. We went to Safeway instead and bought much cheap stuff again. Because of lower prices, I've been buying increasing amounts of crap--mostly chips and sweets. I need to try and get back into the habit of sometimes having veggies with my lunch instead.
Today Kimberly took us out for brunch. After that it was mostly a restful day, other than a trip out to Trader Joe's. (A weekend of food, apparently.) I looked lustfully at their one-pound dark chocolate bars, but ... see previous note about too much junk. I couldn't resist one of their little $.50 dark chocolate bars though. Very tasty.
Tai Chi has been pretty well integrated into our house for 4 or 5 days now. Really only the first couple of days were a trial. But he's very comfortable wandering the house now, getting treats when the other cats do, lounging on the cat tree or the couch. He's also being friendlier to me than I recall from previous trips and even comes when I call.
Of course he also sometimes wanders the house yowling. I suspect that's him missing his real people (who should be back with him in a hair less than 24 hours).
Of course Cobweb and Munchkin still hiss at Tai Chi, but it's mostly a warning that he's getting too close. Meanwhile Tai Chi really wants to sniff everyone. Which causes hissing. Lucy is the most tolerant. She and Tai Chi have had a few Xander-Harmony fights, where they both flail at each other with their paws without actually touching each other. And, Lucy does chase Tai Chi sometimes. But I do get the impression she just enjoys having a more active cat about. I also get the impression that Tai Chi is scared of her despite outmassing her by at least 2x.
We've had a light problem in our bathroom for a bit more than a week. Stupid pull-cord on our light pulled right out. I'd hoped to look for a replacement at Target yesterday, but instead we'll hopefully run to Home Depot tomorrow or Tuesday. The panniers should come in handy ...
Napped a bit both weekend days. Totally decadent.
Beyond that, plenty of plenty of reading, as is norm these last couple of years ...
Ellipses ...
