Not so shabby, really. Fiddled around and did not much, reread Trickster's Choice one last time (planning to return it, honest!). Had a scene this afternoon ... the scene itself was okay, the out-of-character exchanges left me rather irked, tho'. The wiz dropped some plotstuff on us, which was nifty, even if my character was sharply clueless about it.
I wanted to watch the lunar eclipse but clouds kept me from seeing the start of it. Somewhere in there they peeled back and as totality ended I could see the crescent moon. It's now maybe 75% visible, the shadow soft. Very pretty. I tried to get some pictures; none came out well but they did come out better than my previous attempts to photograph the moon. That's not saying much and I don't think I'll upload them.
Looking at it, though, is wonderful. In about twenty minutes, Scott and I go to have a late dinner with his parents, aunt, and uncle. I'm looking forward to it; I've never been to the place chosen and it's a bit more distant than I'd have picked, but it is supposed to be good and I have had all day to essentially be a bum, which helps.
No idea what tomorrow holds, but I'll find out. Hopefully I'll find out tonight.
...and as I was typing that, they called. Dinner was to be at 8, it is now 6:40, we would have left in 20 minutes, and they're changing where we're going to some place called "Big Lou's" that serves mostly ribs but does have some baked chicken. Baked chicken I can cope with. Ribs and anything barbecue is nasty - but they say the barbecue sauce is on the side.
If it's not, then I'll enjoy the company and be starving after. I think I'll put a granola bar in the car just in case. Oh, and the restaurant is now somewhere that's 15 minutes further away as far as driving. Meaning we're now just barely able to get there on time. They're still on the phone, so we can't just bolt this instant.
Ah. Apparently they decided it was "a bit too fancy to go to."
Have we mentioned I cope poorly with changes? Anyway, we're off now - hopefully this goes well. And the moon is still pretty.
