the_rckAfter Suzanne left, Jeff and I struggled a bit for things to talk about. I called LunarGeography since she'd offered to come over and help entertain him if I found myself out of ideas, but she wasn't answering her phone. Jeff finally asked about our Buffy DVDs since he's thinking of buying them. I popped them in to let him look over the special features. At about that point, I got a call from someone who was trying to reach a friend of ours and had found him mentioned without contact information on my husband's resume. I agreed to let our friend know that this man was trying to reach him and to pass along the caller's e-mail and phone number. Since the caller said it was important, I immediately went to dash off an e-mail. Going online is never such a brief thing as I intend (the fact that Jeff was quite happily watching the director's commentary on the first episode of Buffy let me assume that he didn't need my attention), so Scott got home while I was still online.
Once Scott had showered and changed (and he managed that quickly for once!), he and Jeff got focused on networking a couple of computers so they could play games. Eventually, they took a quick trip out in search of carryout Chinese food and comic books. At that point, I called LunarGeography again because I was concerned that I'd not heard back from her. I left a second message, and she called me back a while later (after I'd eaten). As I'd suspected (but hoped against), she'd been down with a migraine all afternoon. She gets devastatingly bad migraines, and the only medication that helps the pain at all knocks her out anyway.
The upshot of our conversation was that she rescued me at least briefly from the guys by picking me up (very, very out of her way) and taking me with her when she went to pick up her husband from work. We'd hoped that we could persuade Kevin to do something a bit social, but he wasn't feeling up to it, so we just went to Barnes & Noble. We got there about 15 minutes before they closed, so we didn't really have time for browsing. Kevin was looking for a copy of The Salmon of Doubt (which, if I'm understanding correctly, is a compilation of what was on Douglas Adams' hard drive after he died supplemented by some of his nonfiction that hasn't previously been collected elsewhere) which we found after a bit of looking.
Then they dropped me at home. I'm glad I got out even if it was just for a short time. I was pretty grouchy and moody and having little luck convincing myself that the rest of the weekend might be better.
I'll post on how that went later.
