All around it was a good weekend.

Friday - Lounged at home crocheting and hanging with the cats. Took an early evening nap. How I love naps. Why didn't I appreciate them when I was a little kid?

Saturday - Had lunch with a friend and her fiance, at one my most favorite restaurants. I'd not seen either of them since leaving for China the first time, so it was super awesome to spend some time with them. Afterward, I ventured down to Stitch DC, bought some crochet hooks and some yummy Lorna's Lace Shepherd in Red Rover. It's so yummy. I can't wait to figure out what I'll make with it.

In the evening I went to a classmate's 30th birthday party, met some really cool people and had a great time.

Being in DC proper for a good portion of Saturday really made me miss living in the city. And after the cockroach incident Saturday morning, I'm more willing to move if necessary once our lease is up or even sooner if we can get out of it without penalty. (Was getting dressed, put on a shirt and when I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror there was a HUGE COCKROACH ON IT. How I didn't notice it while putting the shirt on I'll never know. Needless to say, freakout ensued and I smashed it with a sneaker.)

Sunday - Didn't do nearly the amount of work I should have. But I did clean the apartment and crocheted a bit. I'm running out of yarn for the project, so it'll get put on hold until the additional yarn I ordered for it arrives,  which I'm hoping will be this week. Niels came home and we got our geek on and watched the Sunday night Fox lineup. Then stayed up way too late talking about education policy and I'm totally paying for it today.

Unfortunately, Ginger's not feeling well. I was worried I was being neurotic, but I was petting her and touched her tail, and she meowed in pain. :( She spent most of yesterday hiding under the bed and barely ate or drank anything. I thought it was the weather change, but she was still out of sorts this morning. If she doesn't improve by Wednesday, we'll be taking her to the vet.
