Weekend Goodness

[qos]

I had a really good weekend.

Saturday morning was spent cleaning house with The Daughter, going to the grocery store, and generally getting house and self in order for the party.

lexicat dropped off queenofhalves around 4pm and stayed to chat for a while, then departed shortly before the other women were to arrive. kateri_thinks and jaynefury were there from around 5pm to 10-ish, and queenofhalves and I crashed soon after they left.

The next morning we slept in a bit, then my daughter came with queenofhalves and me to breakfast at IHOP. The rest of the morning was spent talking. Naps were taken. More talking, then a visit to see bookchick (who hadn't been able to come to the party) to see her new house and return the camping gear she and her husband loaned me when I went to the canyon, then back to my place for a couple of tarot readings, and then lexicat arrived again to take queenofhalves to her next social engagement: queenofhalves being one of the best-connected -- and possibly most widely-adored -- person I know. ;-)

After she was gone, the daughter and I cuddled for a while. She had been very good all weekend: patiently and cheerfully doing lots of chores on Saturday, being charming and not too persistently present during the party and during queenofhalves's visit, and I really owed her some connection time. I did need to take some time to myself too. As much as I loved the visits, as an introvert, I need certain amount of solo time, or I spontaneously combust. I took some LJ time while the daughter did her math homework and practiced her cello, then she and I worked on a difficult puzzle we've had for months. She got ready for bed, I lit another fire-log, then we cuddled up on the comfy couch to read Peter and the Starcatchers (which had been missing for a week, but which I finally found after the party -- someplace where I know I have looked before -- clearly the house spirits have been miffed with me for some reason), then bed for her. I played a few rounds of Alchemy (a solitaire game), then turned out the lights and spent some time in prayer.

Then off to bed.

I don't particularly want to go to work this morning. Not because I don't feel well, but because I feel so good and so "in myself" here at home, and I'd like to enjoy the feeling longer. Instead, I shall have to concentrate on taking it to work. That, and my awareness of the Kingdom.

It's a small world after all... I think I know lexicat. A brief look at her LJ kind of confirms this. Not know as in person mind you, but as a distant online friend. *ponders* That or I am very tired and confused about all of this. But I think she used to participate in a wheel of time story board called white tower online. Like I said, I could be confused. She also has another person on my friends list on her friends list, the warrior woman ockamsrazor. Who I added a while back on a whim.

This now ends my blantant disruptive hijacking of your livejournal.

Except that lexicat is a male. ;-)

I said I might be confused... and I obviously was or am.
