post-thanksgiving weekend

[abka]

Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful. My sister and J. came up and joined ellen_fremedon, D., and Minka. We had a lovely time, the food was tasty, and now we know how to make mlinci properly. :)

Saturday and Sunday we hung around and did some shopping. Minka left on Sunday. I expected to be relieved to have my couch and the front seat of the car back, but instead both D. and I have been very sad the last couple of days. We were really used to her company and the livingroom seems empty without her.

Generally feeling low-energy and irritable, but trying to keep on. D. and I had some stomach thing yesterday (of course right after my mother-in-law leaves we get food poisoning) so I went to school for 3 hours then came home and went to bed for 3 hours. Today my goals include laundry and making it to curling. I should reorganize my kitchen cabinets but that might be overly ambitious.

I can empathize with the feeling of letdown when your guest(s) leave. We've hosted quite a few friends at our place, several for periods of a week or more. And while it's nice having more privacy and getting the second bedroom back and sharing the bathroom with fewer people, it also definitely feels strange and lonely for a while after they go.
