I knew that I shouldn't have had that cup of coffee around 9:30 or 10pm, but I really wanted something warm to drink and that pot of Brazilian coffee smelled soooo goooooood. Now my body is tired but my brain just will not stop, which is a problem for me at night even without coffee. Usually I don't ingest any caffeine after lunchtime so this is a Big Deal. And I'd had a Diet Coke at around 6:30 besides. Yow.
We went to Olex and Jen's place for a little hors d'oeuvres get together tonight which ended up being a little private affair of the four of us plus their friend Mike (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mathwhiz78) who was visiting from the midwest. He was quite lovely and more than a little nerdy, which of course I can dig. We watched football playoffs and played board games, an odd but enjoyable combination.
Even though I don't hear from Crystal anymore, I'm really glad we met and used to be close because she introduced me to Olex. O&J are really fabulous people that we love a lot, both individually and as a couple, and sometimes you just need a couple of those. Though I don't get a chance to go out or make plans nearly as often as I'd like, I have to admit that I've met some great people out here... and surprisingly enough, almost all of them are from work, which is a first for me and especially surprising because when I met them, I thought they were all the Stepford Social Workers. (Some of them are, I suppose, but there are a bunch of cool ones in there.)
Whenever we blow out of this dump, we will certainly miss Olex and Jen, and Gina and Ben, as well as the Usual Suspects. Coworker Sarah (Part II, not to be confused with Coworker Sarah from Ohio whom I also miss terribly) and Coworker Funk also make the list.
I really wish I could get some sleep, because we have a big day tomorrow. We need to get up early enough to get supplies and make squash soup for a HelpLine potluck at 1pm, and then we're supposed to meet up with LU3KE for dinner somewhere in town. And then the usual Sunday laundry. So: must. sleep.
But I'm way excited to see Luke! I missed me some Veggie xhardxcorex.
