What we did Saturday...

elfsSaturday, I woke up early to help a friend of a friend's move out of her apartment, which was scheduled to be torn down. While I don't regret the time invested or the social capital developed, I have to say that there are days where I'm exceptionally grateful that Omaha civilized me. Retreating from the squalor of life by spending every spare moment in a City of Heroes is no way to go through life.
After moving out the couches and bookshelves and most of the boxes, I headed back home for a quick shower before taking Kouryou-chan to dance class. On returning, I started making bread, starting with about a kilogram of hard winter wheat flour. I went with Bittman's recipe rather than Manville's because the latter takes much longer (but does taste so much better). Those were for the Oloteas potluck.
As it turned out, Kouryou-chan's dance rehearsal was cut short by a lack of other students. She's the only one who's consistently shown up for every class, knows her part and her marks, and is ready for the show. The rest, not so much.
After the bread was beautifully baked, we headed out. Traffic was awful; one lane was closed on I-405 and getting north was a bear.
Oloteas was as lovely as ever. We hung out with friends, we swam in the pool, I flirted outrageously, and ultimately everything got hung up when Kouryou-chan suddenly showed a terrible cough and exhaustion. After the potluck, we ended up going home.
Everyone else went to bed on time. Me, I got trapped in Plants Vs. Zombies and ended up playing until after 1am.
