Get up & go, got up & went....
Apr. 13th, 2009 07:16 amMid-day yesterday I hit the wall & was out cold faster than you can say "where's Weaver?"
Easter weekend always has plans, but this one was busier than most. Easter dinner was Saturday instead of Sunday. We've spent Easter dinner with our god-children for a dozen years now; to do otherwise is unthinkable. This year Chris & Daren are taking the girls up to the snow for the week so we did the big family dinner thing a day early. Dan & Melissa (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
donkeygirl06), rather than drive back to Mendocino decided to overnight with us and awaken in the redwoods, something I wish they did more often, given how much we enjoy each other's company.
Patrick (healerpatrick) is now renting our granny unit & threw a bash to celebrate his big 5-0 yesterday. I was up relatively early to fix us all b'fast, I mean nothing like guests to have an excuse to cook, right? So by 9 I had a meal on the table for Mel & Dan, Patrick & Gabe (gabecentric, who was visiting Patrick), plus my husband & I. Then it 't'was get the kitchen cleaned up and make some fire brownies for Patrick's shindig. Nevermind that I had only had 5 hours of sleep. That I can usually handle, but not yesterday.
Once the brownies were cooled, cut & onto plates, I carried them up the hill to the gazebo where the band was setting up. Spent 20 minutes or so blowing up balloons, & then walked a guest back down the hill to the house to direct them to the bathroom. Sat down in one of the oversized library chairs in the greatroom & in very short order was out cold. My husband came along sometime thereafter and put me to bed.
I awakened late afternoon, a bit disoriented, but feeling better, just in time to help clean up.
(Sigh) So much for helping a dear friend mark his 50th.
