Yesterday we met ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude's brother, sister-in-law, and nephew for lunch; they were spending Christmas week in Seattle, doing various kinds of tourist stuff. (Cattitude spent a large chunk of Friday with them, but I had work to do.)
We met at Ivar's Acres of Clams, which is on the downtown Seattle waterfront; I was pleased with all my food, but Cattitude's paella was sadly lacking in rice. The conversation was good; brother-in-law was sympathetic to my complaints about some of what I've been needing to do for work. (He comes at it from the other end, as a peer reviewer whose job doesn't include this sort of editing or proofreading but who sometimes has to say that the writing is too unclear to publish.)
We left the restaurant a bit after 2:00, and they invited us to come back to their hotel and hang out some more; I declined because I had work to finish off. (Given that heading straight home I didn't get here until almost 4:00, that was definitely the right decision.)
However, I have sent the manuscript back, and today has been much less energetic: I prepared and sent the invoice for the last two editing assignments; went to the library; and exercised some.
