a more complete update
Left for NYC around 4:30pm on Friday with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crosstables, played with GPS, did flashcards, stopped for dinner at a Greek diner. Arrived around 10, and joined up with lunatopaz's birthday festivities, which involved a Harry Potter party for grown ups and an independent bookstore. It was crazy-packed, but our little group carved out a space, and sat and chatted til midnight. One of the people there is the daughter of a faculty member who has probably taught my sister u4ic in classes at Columbia. Nifty. After Rochelle secured her book, we stopped for rice pudding at Rice to Riches, and headed back to her apartment. It was a good night for roaming the streets.
Saturday, didn't wake up til almost noon, which I never, ever do. Went out right away for coffee to stave off any headaches, and played a game of Scrabble. Met up with a friend from Grinnell who I didn't even know lived in NYC, which was a pleasant surprise, and then headed north for the Scrabble tourney. On a day when I wasn't hauling my Scrabble board, I would've walked up to 45th, but I bused it instead. Played some games, watched some afterhours games, went back, again asleep around 2.
Sunday, up late, out to Farmer's Market, back for tasty noontime breakfast of chicken sausage, eggs, bread, cheese. Showering, and then back into the world for more Scrabble, some snacks, and then back home. Got in around 10, read until the morning.
Took the day off yesterday to recover from the weekend. And now I'm back at work. I think the tired was as much from so much with-people time and not enough by-myself time as it was staying up all night. My body craves alone time as much as it does sleep.
