The weekend included:
- New books and music, courtesy of my brother and his partner and our 2018 member rewards
- Pizza from my favorite local pizzeria, thanks to my folks
- Phone calls with my parents and both Karen and Grey Kitten
- Chores — laundry and vacuuming and floor mopping and kitchen tidying and sheet changing and shopping at the farmers market
- Sitting outside next to a happy baby
- Lots of hot chocolate
- Cookies left over from my birthday
- Hearing that my volleyball league got enough players to move forward this week
- A trip to the library to pick up The Hate U Give dvd
- Listening to my new cds — loudly
- Knitting while watching tv
- Reading — both on paper and on audio
My nails remain their same chippy selves, so I’ll probably just leave them until next weekend, when it’s closer to St. Patrick’s Day. I didn’t start my Sock Madness sock, although I’ve narrowed down my yarn choices to two skeins. I also didn’t block the shawl. (Both of those things are on tap for tomorrow, as is some baking, since Rudi is back home now. And I pretty much know where the tax forms are, so mostly now it’s just a matter of filling out the forms.
How was your weekend?
My weekend:
Played two RPGs
Painted minis with Ben & Fran
Had dinner at On The Border with Ben & Fran
Bought a bow
Went to Morley Field to practice shooting
Finished reading the Green Rider book
Started reading the new Jasper Fforde
Tried having Taco Bell delivered via Internet
Complained to food delivery customer service about how wrong they managed to get the order – everything Bryan asked me to get for him they got wrong
Got to talk on the phone with one of my favorite people in the world
Took over some Pokemon gyms near the archery range
Got an Ex-Raid invite from one of those gyms to go back next week and try for a legendary Pokemon
Brought the laundry downstairs (magic happens)
Brought the clean laundry upstairs and put it away
Ate some ice cream with a side of Girl Scout cookies
Speaking of nails – a week or so ago, I was attacked by a shopping cart at PetCo Unleashed. I was minding my own business, returning my cart like a responsible customer, when an unattended cart decided I was easy prey.
I pushed my cart into the other, which waited patiently until my hand was too close. Then, the seat/upper shelf collapsed as the back door was pushed up, and it came down right on my hand, specifically my middle finger. It immediately turned bright blue under the nail.
Now my middle fingernail has a black blot where the moon should be. I understand it will eventually grow out. My question is, until then, should I paint the nail to make it pretty instead?
