unicorndukeLast week, I did mostly goofing off. Neither boss gave me work to do. Tues afternoon, I helped with some turkey processing at the A farm and then made custard pie on Wed afternoon. Custard pie was renamed chocolate disaster because I used a low % milk chocolate for half of the custard and it didn't set properly, so that layer was liquid. But it was still delicious.
Thurs, I went over to the farm for thanksgiving and it was a nice time. We all ate so much food, there was naps and looking at trip pictures. Knitting. Dessert. Good stuff.
Friday, I went to the farm again to help B get her loom finally ready to weave. It's so wonky and hard to work with, I feel a little bad. But she's now weaving and I guess that's what matters
Saturday, I watched hockey and got ready for a trip. Hockey was PWHL which is finally back in action for the season. Fun games.
Sunday morning, I loaded the truck and headed south. I picked up my sister in NJ at a train station and had a minor crisis where my truck ran low on oil and I couldn't figure out what the problem was, so eventually I just put enough oil in that the check engine light turned off. It's due for an oil change and I guess just ran out. Normally not a problem, but whatever. Oil change is scheduled.
We headed to Lancaster for my cousin's wedding. I haven't seen anyone from that side of the family in probably 10 years. Every time there was an event, it was far or badly timed. I think all of them were in the summer when I was really busy with work, or it was right after I got Mara, or I moved. And there were only three or four over that time. Some might have been in NC or RI when I was in the furthest place. Whatever. But we got to catch up with about half of the family. My cousin was busy being married and mostly didn't notice us, but the rest of us had a nice time. Mostly we sat around and chatted and once the dancing started, stood around near the bar in the other room and talked because the music was painfully loud and you couldn't actually hold a conversation in that room. Food was mediocre.
The wedding wrapped up promptly at 9:30, we all headed back to the hotel and proceeded to take over the hotel bar/lobby tables and chatted, the rest of them drank, my aunt brought snacks down from her room to make up for meh dinner. I went to bed at midnight, my sister at 1 and my dad thinks they went to bed at 2. that side of the family parties hard.
Next morning, I sat in the lobby and read a book until dad, my siblings and L came down and we got breakfast at the hotel bar. Surprisingly tasty food if expensive. We said goodbye to some relatives we saw and then all hit the road. I took Z to a different train station that had faster service and drove north. F, B and I coordinated on ordering chipotle and I picked it up and got home a little after 5. We ate, then crafting. I'm so tired today, couldn't manage to work out this morning, just sat on my mat for 15 mins and gave up. Hoping to catch up on sleep tonight.

Hope sleep is readily overtaken.
