nishatalithaI am not at work today, as I really should be. And surprisingly I don't feel any actual guilt over this. I would, but I'm too tired, and if I'm tired enough that I am seriously considering having a nap soon, even though I got up two hours ago, and went to bed earlyish last night, then I really shouldn't be at work. Still haven't woken up properly since Friday evening.
Sunday was nasty. Yesterday. Words fail me. A text to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mashugenah involved the sort of language one sees in Asterix, only minus the thunderclouds and skull & crossbones, since my phone doesn't offer them up as symbols. Shame on them. The last room we did was the breaking point for me. I'd been considering the idea of taking today off all day yesterday, since I was getting to the non-functional stage of tiredness, and that room hit my breaking point and made the idea a plan. I've seen a few rooms worse than that one in my time in the hotel, but not many.
Had Lace & Steel in the evening. I enjoyed being Isthian for a few hours - probably the first time I've ever deliberately used gaming as an escape. It's not something I plan to do very often. Still, Isthian's general calmness was a nice change from my hyper-tired flapping around. And we had a new person start, too. I've never been in a game where someone joins part way through, and it's interesting. We've been learning how to act as a team, and we're still learning, and now there is another person to add in. Makes the dynamics interesting, especially when you add in the fact thatmashugenah and house_monkey and I all know each other socially as well.
But most importantly - there were kittens. Last week, we all noted that Sploge was rather fat, and you could almost feel the lumps of kitten in her belly. This week there are kittens! They're about five days old, and incredibly cute. I took a couple of videos, and a number of photos, which I will post when I work out how.
