Had a decent day yesterday. Worked on site for a client which included doing a training class and writing a bunch of automation scripts. That was enjoyable. I like this client and while I wish they were a little closer, their personality and environment makes up for the distance. I always feel like I am valued when I visit them.

While I was there, I got an email from a friend in the old neighborhood. They are going to be doing an expo here in a couple of weeks and they were looking for help to work the booth. In two weeks I will be working a surf expo. Neat.

Left there around 2 and came home to handle household crap. On the way, I got a text from my director. She invited me over to a pajama and walking dead party. It was just what I needed. A fun night with friends. I decided to make an Oreo cookie cheesecake to bring with me and some wine. On the way home I stopped at BevMo. They are having a 5 cent sale but in addition they are getting rid of some end of vintage stuff. I was able to get $100 of wine for $60. I picked up six bottles which averages out to $10 a bottle versus $17 or $18. Not bad. I was running low in the house and really did want to have some 'drinking' wine around. I now have five bottles left over which honestly should last me a little while. You notice I haven't been drinking like I used to? Not blowing money all over town, not getting myself stupid drunk. Oh, I drank last night, but that was the first time since the 12th of Feb. Almost three full weeks. Not bad, eh? I then stopped at the store to get supplies to make a cheesecake.

It was about 3 or so when I got home and since I knew I would be going out, I wanted to get something accomplished. Namely laundry. That was my first and foremost task for the weekend and needed to get it out of the way. Did laundry, did some house organizing (not cleaning, but junk removal and straightening) and made a cheesecake.

Headed over to their house around 7, bottle of 05 vin de pays d'oc in hand. We had a nice night. There was  about seven of us including their kid. We watched Walking Dead, drank but not excessively and shot the shit. It really was exactly what I needed. And yes, I wore pajamas. Sweatshirt and fuzzy pj bottoms with fuzzy socks. Pretty much the uniform of the room. We were all in some type of pj bottom and either t-shirt or sweatshirt.

Got home around 1 doing pretty good. Got up a while ago but have been moving slowly. I needed to get a corned beef cooking first this morning before anything else.

A few more little errands this morning, house cleaning (actual cleaning), and bill paying. All of that before a get together with my meetup group, followed by a show. Busy busy.
