So travel, migraines, and general sloth have led to me making no updates this weekend. Hmmph.
Thanksgiving was fairly normal. A bigger group than usual because my uncle brought his on-again girlfriend, and my cousin and his wife brought her grandmother (who is the coolest grandmother-person on the planet I think), and my sister brought her fiance. We had 14. Given the tininess of my extended family, that's huge.
There was some general weirdness, mostly because my uncle's girlfriend kept following me around to eventually try to do some sort of energy healing on my hand. I'm fine with that, just not when I'm with my entire extended family, and especially not when I'm in the middle of another conversation. I've already been labeled the family flake I think. My aunt (mom's twin sister) seems to be making up for her now empty nest by shopping on QVC. Luckily, she let me know she'd purchased her guitar on TV before I started making fun of that ridiculous Esteban informercial. Weird. This is the same woman who actually owns and uses a flowbee (the suck-cut from Wayne's World). I think she'll buy anything if it's on TV.
The migraine from Wednesday ended up returning Thursday night, so I ended up staying at mom and dad's since I took my drugs. Their apartment has basically no windows, so I slept like the dead. Came back on Friday, and ended up spending the day floating from Betty's to the Tavern to bowling to Havana, etc. with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
automat76 and L. Public Service Announcement: Don't bowl with a broken hand, even if it's mostly healed. It will hurt, and you are likely to bowl a 50. Which I did.
The rest of the weekend was spent lazing about pretty much. I did get another gift scarf finished and another gift started. And a sleeve for my Rosedale II is complete. I need to do some swatches tonight since I'm teaching on Thursday. Or maybe I'll just take various gifts to show different techniques!
