I walked away from the geek stuff for a much-need­ed break. I col­ored and stitched a bit, and Sam and I gamed for a while. I need to do home­work. I haven’t done it yet. I don’t wan­na at the moment.

Sam made bis­cuits for me this morning 🙂

I enjoyed a sybarit­ic soak in the gar­den tub with bath salts while gam­ing with Sam. I am more and more com­mit­ted to find­ing a way to have a hot tub so we can enjoy hot tub gam­ing! Come on—we real­ly don’t roll dice that fre­quent­ly any­way. And social gath­er­ings in hot tubs are less shock­ing than social gath­er­ings in bath­tubs. I don’t think most peo­ple we game with would be very will­ing to come to hang out in a bath for gam­ing, even if the tub were large enough.

I need a hair­dress­er on this side of town. Any sug­ges­tions? I tend to find some­one I trust and say, “Do some­thing that looks good and does­n’t require much from me” so the per­son needs to be very good.

I think I’m going to go back to my nat­ur­al hair col­or of real­ly dark brown and stop dying my hair alto­geth­er. Yes, the grey will be more and more pronounced—not a big deal. The only down­side to col­or­ing back to my “real” col­or is that I won’t have the high­lights that real­ly are mine nat­u­ral­ly for a while—but I sup­pose a good salon could take care of that too.

tbrents came and got Patch­es yes­ter­day, tak­ing her to his par­ents’ home. I hope she’s hap­pi­er there. She had start­ed growl­ing at me, too, and she did­n’t seem to be feel­ing well. We were wor­ried about her and rather anx­ious about the pos­si­bil­i­ty of her bit­ing some­one else, espe­cial­ly with a 6‑year-old guest in the house right now. Tim’s grace­ful han­dling of the sit­u­a­tion impressed me—he was­n’t angry at us (or he did­n’t seem that way), he was­n’t blam­ing any­one, and he respond­ed more quick­ly than he had to when Sam called him about the mat­ter. He’s quite the gen­tle­man. I know there are plen­ty of sin­gle ladies among my local friends—y’all should def­i­nite­ly meet this guy if you haven’t already done so!

I’ve real­ly been enjoy­ing chat­ting with devichan when they’re not at D*C. docrail­gun is a nice fel­la, but very very qui­et, so I still don’t know much about him oth­er than the fact that he and Devi are mar­velous par­ents. Peek is just too cute!
