A small but productive work weekend: Walter showed up later than expected, and had to leave early, but we were making corrections before dinnertime. Walter had time to fix a few manuscripts before leaving. (He seems to actively like making fixes, whereas I'm competent at it but would rather be reading and editing.)
Dinner was just me, Womzilla, David and Kathryn and their children, at the increasingly-becoming-usual Chinese place. I had "Szechuan cucumber" for an appetizer, because I love cucumber and had never heard of this dish. It turns out to be lightly-pickled cucumber spears, with hot pepper flakes for spiciness. We (that's me, Womzilla, and Kathryn, the three spicy eaters in the group) liked them; I made a point of saving a few to take home to

Eventually we were done making editorial fixes; Kathryn went to bed, David and Womzilla did layout, and I napped on the couch. Got home around 2:30; I can't make a habit of this.
In passing, during dinner, David (I think it was him) said something like "You know you're invited to the SFWA party Monday?" I said something intelligent like "What?" and attempted to get details like time and place, learning only the name (but not location) of the site it's at, and that they've apparently gotten 500 RSVPs for a space that might hold 300. So I'm torn between "go, see people, duck out early" and "too crowded, aargh!" Just before waking up this morning, I dreamed that I'd mentioned this to Cattitude and been told that his gaming had been moved to Monday nights, and that

Today, I think, I will drink less tea than yesterday, and try to get to bed early.
I also seem to have a dry cough again: it started late last night (and worried Womzilla when he came back into the living room to wake me so he could drive me home). I am not a happy hobbit, in that regard.
