Fête sans feu
Apr. 8th, 2012 09:47 pmSurvived. We drove into Chicago with ham, potato salad, bread, kohl-rabi, and asparagus. Also a small home freezer that Gary picked up used for his mom. We set up the freezer for her, after much fiddling to get the cover re-installed correctly, and it obligingly chilled itself right down to 0°F in about an hour. So that's taken care of and the thing is out of the garage here.
The remaining relatives arrived late as usual because they'd all been to more than one dinner today. Even so, a fair quantity of food and wine got demolished. (We still brought home leftovers aplenty, but that's OK.) And that brings the guilt-obligated holiday dinners to an end for this season, Thank goodness.
I was so worn by the whole affair that I took a nap after the horse and sheep chores were done, while Gary walked the dog out in the pasture. It was a gray and gloomy day, with spattering rain just before sunset, weather that rightfully would be more appropriate for Good Friday, I think.
Because the guild newsletter went out yesterday, I have nothing left to do but get ready for FCN. That means finishing up Rails 'n' Tails modules and checking over the fursuit, then packing and planning the driving details. Since the Rails 'n' Tails panel takes place at 3 pm on Friday, we have to get there early enough on Friday to set up for it.
Right now, though, I need to get some more sleep. That should make the rest of this two weeks much more pleasant.
