Had a really busy day yesterday. My sister & her two daughters came from the east side of the state to visit. They picked up lunch from Pan3ra & we went over to my grandma's. It was a nice time, g'ma was in a pretty good mood & enjoyed the visit. I think I was there for a couple of hours at least. Good, but draining.
Came home to shovel out the driveway - about 100 ft of snow a good 8 inches deep, and me with a plastic shovel. I don't mind so much, it's a good workout, but I was really worn out by the time I was done. Came in, had dinner, then contacted my neighbor. We made plans earlier this week to finally hang out & chat a bit (living next to each other well over a year and always saying we would... well, we made it happen this week).
She's a really nice lady, older, semi-retired (works for a local food bank downtown). When I got there, she took me on a tour of her house.Man, did she get a deal on that place; it's fantastic! I'm a bit envious, but it's also a *lot* more space than I need, so not too much so. It's been maintained well, and the updates are very nice!
Anyway, after the tour, she poured herself some wine & offered me some tea (I'd mentioned to her earlier that I was doing this 'Dry January' thing), and we sat & talked. I was surprised at how easy it was; I'm usually really awkward with that kind of thing, but I think we're somewhat alike, and the conversation flowed fairly easily. Eventually, her little dog needed to be let out & I took the opportunity to head home (I think I ended up being there almost 2.5 hrs). After thanking her for inviting me, I told her that she could come to mine next, (once I got it 'company-ready)! So I'm guessing that will happen in the next few weeks.
It wasn't a terribly active day (snow shoveling aside), but it was one of the busiest 'social' days I've had in ages, and I was wiped out last night. I seem to have recovered fairly well though; usually, that would have had me isolating myself for a week or more. I actually feel pretty good today though! And it's a good thing, because I've got a lot to do today before 4p. I have to socialize a bit more tonight - my bio-cuz's wife's b-day was this week, and they invited me over to hang out for a bit. We haven't seen each other in months, and I feel somewhat obligated to go, as I've bowed out the last couple of times (poor timing). I'm sure it'll be fine, and should be a good time, but I'm kind of not looking forward to all of the drinking & pot smoking I'll be sitting through. They're great, but these really aren't my 'people'.
When do I get to connect with my own 'tribe'?
*sigh*
