Pleasures for the convalescent

[pegkerr]

Thanks again to carbonel, who out of the goodness of her heart arranged a little get together with friends last night so that Peg could escape the confines of her house for one evening. We went over to Lois McMaster Bujold's where we were joined by 1crowdedhour and Pat Wrede. A happy evening was spent eating nibbles and discussing books and summer plans. I was noble and had only a thimbleful of the raspberry wine, even though it was OMIGOD the best stuff ever and I would have loved to have swilled an embarrassing amount. You were teasing me by bringing it, carbonel, but my surgeon would have certainly have looked askance if I had mixed it with the Vicodin.

I received my copy of the Tarot of Jane Austen today, which I received with a gift certificate someone gave me, and I am happily perusing it. I love it: it has a Love and Friendship (should that be "Freindship"?) spread and a Sense and Sensibility spread, among others, in the accompanying book.

I got your package, madlori! Thanks! No, I don't have a copy and am definitely looking forward to reading it.

This afternoon, we are heading out to my sister's in Minnetonka for a high school graduation open house for my nephew. I plan to obtain a plate of my sister's highly edible munchibles, find a chair, and not move for the entire time we are there. I am feeling a little shaky this afternoon, but I definitely don't want to miss Steven's celebration.

Enjoy the weekend, all.

Here's a cautionary tale: I've just been ordered to keep my leg (surgery site) up for two days due to possible infection and really shitty healing. I overdid it, it seems. Damn.

Don't make my mistake.

It was quite an enjoyable evening all around. Sorry about the tantalizing wine; it was a last-minute impulse. For future reference, it's Framboise from Bonny Doon. I don't know about local availability, but there are several links about it on the Web. Alas, wine.com no longer ships to Minnesota.

I was hoping you remembered to go and have fun last night! Though I am disappointed that you are not the Universe-Running Wish List Fairy, after all, because that means I might actually have to keep working at it myself. Patience with process and all that.

It was very nice to see you today, you had color in your cheeks (from mortification regarding the BB Exam snafu?) and looked great. I'm sure that Sensei was understanding about Fiona. All I can say is that it was very funny that both Fiona and Roxanne were late. I almost didn't say anything about the BB Exam at the beginning of class because I figured everyone that was going to go was ... already there! HAHAHAHA!!!

I hope you had a great time at your nephew's grad open house!
Rest well!
