I can has spider plant!

My plans for cleaning and grocery shopping yesterday were thoroughly waylaid by the opportunity to see my friend April, who is up visiting from Albuquerque. I toddled off on the bus and spent the afternoon and evening with her and a bunch of other friends (most of whom don't have LJs), where we caught up and played a rousing game of Arkham Horror. I can't say I like the game: I find it long, confusing, and full of fiddly tokens that constantly need adjusting.

That being said, we had a great time. I got to see aislingtheach, and Anik and Nigel, Thieu Thuy and Pierre-Hughes, as well as conscioussoul, all of whom I last saw, oh, almost a year ago. It was good to catch up. I missed Anik and Nigel's wedding because I was in Paris, and it's nice to see them happy, especially in their new digs, which are lovely.

Anik gave me two spider plants and a basil plant to take home with me, and so my cunning plan to fill the apartment with greenery continues apace. I just hope the cats don't love the spider plants to death the way they did last time.

I got home very, very late. I suppose I shouldn't mind too much, as that ought to help me flip my sleep schedule around for the week.

Today I am meeting miseri, sorceror and tcaptain for lunch, and after that I will be launching myself back into my attempt at cleaning. I'm going into work an hour early tonight as a favour to a co-worker, and she'll be staying an hour later on Wednesday to repay the favour, but it does mean I have to plan my day a little more carefully.

I need to do my cleaning, buy food for the week, and get a nap in sometime today.

Right. Off to start my morning properly.
