Today isn’t over yet, it has been going on for days. I keep waking up around 6:30, no particular reason as far as I can tell. Doesn’t matter what time I go to bed.

Doodle and I took in the first episode of The Riches [starring Eddie Izzard! and Minnie Driver!] over breakfast and we love it, so I’m getting the rest. This is to help sooth the pain of losing both Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars in the last few weeks. VM was amazing and I wish that they would do a fourth season. I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but they still have a couple of weeks to save it.

Then we went to the grocery store and picked up the bits and pieces I needed to feed everyone [being Weasel, Doodle and Mish]. I’d planned on sandwiches and crisps with dip for lunch, peanut butter cups for yummy sweet thing and chilli and corn bread for dinner. Unfortunately, everyone was too full of lunch to have dinner. More for Weasel and me! I also made smoothies [mango, orange juice, pineapple, lime juice and banana poured over crushed ice]. I was in the kitchen for hours. I love cooking and half of me wishes I could do this all the time; plan a specific menu, buy the stuff and make it happen. Usually I have too many other distractions or by the time it comes to make dinner I’m exhausted.

Anyway, Mish got here safe and we had some lunch then played games! She brought Munchkins with her which had a bit of a learning curve [for me at least] but was excellent the further in we got. We moved onto Sequence after that and everyone seemed to really love it. We ended with Trivial Pursuit and that was brilliant. We play in a fairly lax way giving hints and allowing multiple guesses, Weasel won as per usual. We’re definitely going to have to do it again soon, I love games. Even better would be if we could find two more people who wanted to come too, six people would open more game doors for us.

I’m very tired so this has lost some lucidity, but I’m also wired so everything is a little too intense. Perhaps this is the time to stop. Tomorrow I’m going to the gym and hoping to weed some more, but we shall see. Then Monday is a lovely plan free bank holiday which I hope will contain at least one movie with my wife.
