a good day out

we had a really great time at our friends' place, including mr smear. he seemed to forget his aforementioned issues, and had a good time with all three siblings.

our only concern of the afternoon was the couple that came over with their small children who were obviously sick, when there's another round of covid happening and we're nervous about getting hit again.

i'm pretty sure we're going to get hit again.

assuming we're still okay by tomorrow evening, it looks like we might have company for wall climbing, which would be fun :)

we left rather late, and while mr smear ate dinner i got into celeste on the ps4. it's freakin' hard, and by the time i handed the controller over to mr smear for "just the first chapter" i'd already forgotten just how long that first chapter took me... fortunately he'd learned from a lot of my mistakes, but he still went to bed much later than planned :P

after he went to bed, gd and i watched a bunch of interesting ufc videos / fights, and now i'm enjoying my last cup of tea before bed.

hopefully i'll get a better night's sleep tonight.

...

as i typed that, some tiny, weird-looking little bug landed on me. i hope it's nothing interesting.
