Weekend update
Kind of a blah weekend. Too much mopey depression-like stuff, which is never any fun. But it all turned out okay.
Saturday morning was productive. Kelly and I went mattress-shopping (a chore we'd been putting off for over 6 months, despite the inadequacy of the 20-year-old mattress we inherited from her parents when we moved in together). Now, major household purchases can be one of the more surreal aspects of lesbian couplehood, but we lucked out this time and dealt with a salesman who didn't so much as flinch at two women walking into his store and saying "Hi! We're looking for a mattress." Cambridge is great like that. And we got it over with in half an hour, which meant lots of time to waste at the kitchen store next door.
Bitty came over on Saturday to watch the baseball game. It's good to have friends with whom to watch sports, even when one's favorite team is woefully unable to capitalize on a promising early lead. It was the first time in a while that I had nothing to do on a Saturday night, and I wasn't really prepared for that so I would up moping and reading until Kelly finally agreed to a game of Scrabble in the hopes that I'd snap out of it. I'm most of the way through the first of E.F. Benson's Lucia books, which I picked up in October when Ann and Jason were visiting. My first attempt to read it (shortly after buying it) wasn't terribly successful, but it's been rather good subway and bedtime reading for the past few days.
Sunday was a bit better. I went down to JP to play some softball. The weather was gorgeous and we had pretty good turnout. It was perhaps a little too hot, because I kept almost blacking out while catching (too much kneeling and standing and kneeling again, it'll take me a few weeks to get used to it) but overall it was a good time. Then I went up to Brookline to meet Kelly and 2 friends at the Coolidge Corner theater, where they'd seen some movie or other at the Boston women's film festival. We went to Fugakyu for dinner, wandered around Brookline Booksmith, and then headed home. Now I'm sitting on the couch trying to figure out why I'm tired at 9:30.
