Pretty good week so far. Got to spend some time with [livejournal.com profile] dryadgrl and her son. Like them both a lot, and got one-on-one time with each of them, which is really fun for me. I was feeling a bit hyper, and [livejournal.com profile] dryadgrl just rolled with it.

Made purple potato salad (with purple potatoes, several colors of bell pepper, sweet red onion, celery, and Vegenaise), and took it to the East Bay Poly Potluck, which was lots of fun. Nekkid hot-tubbing, yay! Lots of yummy food, yay! The most heavenly chard ever, yay! Got to see [livejournal.com profile] the_ogre and a woman I'd met at the poly meetup, but the rest of the folks were new to me, which is a little energy-intensive for me, but it was still a lovely evening.

Today, my hips have been really bad, but I really wanted to make African stew, so I went to the Berkeley Bowl and wandered around, getting groceries, and splurging on their lovely veggie sushi. It was delightful, and I struck up such a positive kinship with the people in my verrrrrrrry long line that by the time I left the store, I was feeling great.

Got home and made stew and puttered around my kitchen. I so love my home. Yesterday, [livejournal.com profile] someotherguy and I were saying how much we love it here. And he said that when he thinks of improving our living quarters, he tends to think of fixing up our current space, rather than moving into a new space. I felt so happy to hear that he loves our little hobbit-hole ([livejournal.com profile] sogwife's appellation) as much as I do. I know it's not everyone's idea of an ideal space, but I realized last night, as I was luxuriating in the hot-tub at the large, expensive home of the hosts of the party, that I had no envy at all of their space. I realized in that moment that I am as happy here as I can imagine being, and a bigger, more luxurious space would not make me any happier. That's a really, really good place to be.

Missing [livejournal.com profile] stonebender. Missing and worrying about [livejournal.com profile] intenselaura. Worrying about [livejournal.com profile] rivka. Wanting to stay up for hours goofing off on the internet, but I have a rare fourth day of work tomorrow, and I'd better get some sleep.

G'night, all.
