I got back from Patagonia and was forced to hit the ground running. I am still playing catch-up with email (apologies if I owe you an answer for something and haven’t gotten back to you yet), homework (why why why did I not drop the web design class?), sleep, and life in general. I’m going out of town for 24 hours this week, leaving on Thursday night to go to JPL for a meeting on Friday, and coming back Friday night. Before that, there are multiple going-away festivities for Chris, who’s moving to Denver (sadness, but at least I’ll have someone to visit in Denver). This weekend is the RRCA Convention. With luck, I’ll catch up before we go to Tahoe at the end of the month for skiing.
I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but I really don’t know when life got so busy.
The weather was lovely on Friday so Matt had the brilliant idea of heading to Kemah for happy hour. After that I went bowling for the first time in…gosh, I don’t know, maybe two or three years? I got 106 in the first game, beating everyone I was with. Then I got 99 in the second game, losing to everyone I was with. Apparently everyone else actually improved with beer.
Gilruth soccer has started up again so I had a game bright and early at 9 a.m. on Saturday. Miraculous, I actually played better with a lack of sleep. At one point I ended up playing midfield and was thiiiiis close to scoring my first goal (ever?) when I headed the ball off a corner kick. Unfortunately their goalie was really good and caught it. But I impressed everybody with my header. Yay. 🙂
Saturday evening was spent at the first going-away dinner for Chris followed by a trip to Boondoggle’s, where I sat at the table attempting to make conversation until about 11:00, at which point I was so tired that I was literally falling asleep at the table. I’m not kidding. I think at one point I must’ve said something completely bizarre to Nacho in my very tired state, because I sort of woke up and realized he was giving me a very strange look in response to whatever I’d just said. Yep. Falling asleep sitting at the table. So I went home, at which point I didn’t take out my contacts, didn’t brush my teeth, didn’t even turn on the lights, just put on pajamas and collapsed into bed.
Yesterday morning I headed to Bath Junkie for Sonia’s bridal shower. She and Paul are getting married the same weekend as Andrew and Sari, so unfortunately I can’t make their wedding, but at least I made the bridal shower. Then last night it was time for another soccer game (and more bruises), followed by watching the Oscars while attempting to do homework.
And another busy week lies ahead.
