Together and Alone
Yesterday after school, I walked home with the roommate I've seen less of. (She then had an unfortunate encounter with a soy sauce bottle which leapt out of the fridge when she opened it and fell on the floor, managing to break and splatter pretty much Everywhere in the process. We spent rather a while cleaning soy sauce off the floor, wall, fridge door, inside of the fridge and even the inside of the freezer, which had been closed at the time. Then she went off to clean the soy sauce off of herself...) But then she left to spend time with her sister, and I had the apartment to myself for quite a while. It was funny- I think it was the longest I've been home alone since we moved in, potentially. I did some homework, but not all that much, and finished a doily I'd been working on, and started another. (There's a blanket that I'm going to do too, but I realized that I don't actually have thread to sew it together- it's just two big pieces of cloth that I'll sew together, and then I'll add a few things- flowers perhaps, to give me an excuse to sew the thing together in the middle in a few places, so that it stays in a one-to-one relationship between the two different fabrics... So, sometime soon I purchase thread so I can do that- that way when it gets cold, I'll have something to wrap-up with in the living room.)
In other cheerful news, I was about to decide to make shabbat dinner, and had written an invitation and everything, when just before I would have hit send, I got an invitation to a friend's place for said meal. Given that she was one of the prospective guests, I scrapped the email and decided to go to her. I'm not sure whether I'll instead make lunch or just wait until next week to host a meal. I guess it rather depends what I'm doing for shul and who else is doing what, and I'm not so good at figuring such things out... It's one of the downsides of seeing a significantly different crowd during the week than I do on Shabbat... I really should actually start implementing some of the ways I've thought of to see other folks during the week. (Not that I dislike my classmates, I've actually been enjoying spending more time with them, it's just- they're not my only friends...)
