Had a wonderful time last night at dinner with a handful of Michael’s friends. We had a birthday dinner at a place called Cinetopia. It’s a restaurant and movie theater. The restaurant was on the upscale side for looks and price, but the food was only mediocre. I don’t care how nicely the waiters are dressed, or how artsey you place the food on the plate. It had better be good. I’ll take Claim Jumpers any day. Bigger portions, better food, same size. However, I am under the impression that there is at least one screen where you can watch your movie while eating your meal/dessert and consuming an alcoholic beverage. That could be fun. Dessert and a movie sounds kinda nice to do once. Maybe a thing to do with my niece sometime when she is down to visit.

After dinner we headed home, and shortly after that, Michael was toned out, so I gathered Scrawny and headed for bed. He snuggled under the covers to warm me up, and Squirrel soon came and did her best impersonation of a head scarf. I fell asleep in no time! Michael woke me, laughing at my blanket and cat bundling. Scrawny had move out from beneath the covers without my knowledge, and had plopped himself onto my chest. Squirrel was still working hard on her impersonation. Michael brought Nini in for snuggles, and soon we were all toasty warm and snoring away the rest of the night.

This weekend has been full of tasks. I have gotten most of what I wanted to done. I head into next week with an idea of what I want/need to get done. I am down to 4 boxes, and all my pictures. Once that is done I can stop for a while. The rest of the resort will happen in the studio in warmer weather. I’ll simply need to place the few trinkets out that I want to see, and hang the few pictures Michael and I agree to look at. The rest can wait a few weeks while I live in this space and figure it all out. Last thing I want to do is over book myself.

I went for a long walk across the field and into the woods today. Found a little marshy area that I think I will keep my eyes on. I want to see what grows there.
