Introvert-y weekend
All weekend, we failed to go to the Art Crawl. I'm sort of sorry; but I'm also so glad that we avoided the drama I observed on facebook by a healthy margin.
On Friday we had thought to go, but I was not feeling up for that many strangers, and we had a housewarming party to go to that was populated mostly by people I know and like. So we went to that and had a good time and watched people play hammerschlager (I think that's the name) and so on. There were delicious gingersnaps right out of the oven. Clearly I need to up my game for parties and begin to produce food warm from the oven, mid-party.
On Saturday, I helped a friend work on a kimono she's making - it's the first time she's ever made anything complicated, and the first time she's made anything with a pattern, so it's good for her to have help. I'm probably going to go over and help more tonight after work. After that, I was abruptly done with people and needed alone time, so I stayed home and watched movies and was deeply slothful while Joe went to a Burning Man decompression thing at a cabin in the Stillwater area. I'm glad that we can each do our own thing without it being a big deal.
On Sunday, I felt like I needed to get out of the house, and needed exercise. We also needed some groceries. So we took a nice walk to the co-op and back, about 2 miles each way. It felt good to get some moderate exercise like that, and it was a beautiful fall day, and Joe and I got to enjoy each other's company. Also we achieved groceries. Win! At home, I worked on a prop for my Halloween costume, which involved papier mache - doing that made me feel like a little kid. Later I decided to make seitan, which takes a long time (but makes a lot). So I was too tired to cook dinner, and we ordered pizza, and![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spacebug and s4 came over and we played Rock Band and hung out. It was fun even though we are having a hard time beating the current challenge on the game! We miss living next door to them.
And that was the weekend. It was too short.
