Shabbos/Last Minute-ness

Shabbos was good, sort of active-feeling. I made an accidentally very large batch of coleslaw for dinner, so I had it for lunch nad for a snack today too- there's still some left. But it's a variant on Mom's usual recipe, which I like quite a bit, so I didn't mind at all. Still, it probably sounds a bit odd to eat that much of any sort of coleslaw in a day or so. (This one is made with red cabbage, and vegetables and raisins and nuts- a little different from the classic sort.) Had a nice get-together with doctor_nine, after we found each other- I thought I was meeting him at his house, he thought he was meeting me at mine, and we walked slightly different ways to get there, so 5 minutes after I left home, he got here. It was mildly comic. But we had a nice time, and later I took a brief walk with Mom. I don't know- it felt somewhat fragmented. Em's home, and the house's atmosphere has, as usual, shifted dramatically. Funny how one person changes the mix so drastically sometimes.

Tomorrow I'm off to chinchillama's wedding- I'm taking the train and then getting a ride from friends of her fiance's mother. It'll be an adventure. And then someone- maybe them, maybe someone else, I don't know, will get me back to the train or home or some variant thereof. It'll be another good exercise in hanging loose. (As is my still uncertain plans for getting to Keff on Tuesday. So far I might be getting to Stamford again for 8am and getting a ride to the nearby mall, and then finding my way from there.)

Dad picked up his new car today, so the other one is now in my possession semi-formally. The concept of actually Having a car is a strange one- I can't quite associate the concept with myself. It'll sink in over time, I'm sure. But for now- it's quite strange. Somehow I used to think one got one's license and suddenly could drive in all situations capably- that is for sure not the case. I wish it were- it would make life tomorrow and this next week much simpler. But 'tis not the case. Instead I now have a vehicle but still a rather limitted ability to use it. But I'm working on that.
