Weekend update
Another weekend done! It started off mighty fine with the best massage I've probably ever had. (To backtrack, I had a really bad massage last weekend. I've always maintained that any massage is better than no massage, but I was proven very, very wrong. It started with my asking the guy to change the music because I knew I would not be able to relax to the beat of new age techno music and went downhill from there. It wasn't inappropriate at all, it was just uncomfortable, not the least bit therapeutic, and akin to what it must feel like to lie face down on a fault line during an earthquake. I knew I needed another massage, and soon, to counterbalance the heinousness of the experience with someone who was actually in tune with my body and could help relieve some of its soreness, which was mighty and unprecedented after two weeks of boot camp and running.) This latest massage was delivered by an old family friend, so not only was there an automatic comfort level, she was really, really good, and I was so grateful. It was a gift.
This glorious massage was followed night out at a local evening celebrating the arts ... I haven't been drinking very much over the past few months, but I had a few cocktails ... some kind of frozen vodka concoctions with chambord at the suggestion of the bartender ... okay! I'd never heard of such a thing before, but sure. It was one of those nights in a restaurant where it's totally packed and there's a band playing in the corner and you can barely hear over the cling clang of the glasses and all was merry, even though it was a bit drizzly outside.
Saturday ... Saturday ... blur? Class, too early. A visit to the library where I checked out a ton of books, including everything I haven't read by John Green and both volumes of Octavian Nothing. Homework for many, many hours. A game, the culmination of which has caused much wrath in this town.
I got a good night's sleep on Saturday for the first time in weeks upon weeks, which was a sweet and blessed relief. On Sunday morning, it was time for my first group run, which went pretty well. Then it was more homework. And more football, which thankfully had a happier ending than the day before.
The weekend wrapped up with an evening of book club ... I made pumpkin muffins, and there was homemade bread and boudin balls and wine and pumpkin beer and a good discussion with nice people. Zeitoun is a good but very upsetting book, P.S.
Thanksgiving awaits!
