Technically, I was there

You might recall that last weekend I came down with a cold, which I managed to cook out of the system on Monday. I felt much better for a couple of days, but then I either got a new one or the first had some tricks left. This time the expression is coughing ick out of my lungs combined with muscle aches.

It got particularly bad on Friday morning, resulting in my actually taking alvadon for the pain and going back to sleep. Luckily, I felt much better Friday afternoon, so was able to bake some bread to take to the Frostheim Jul potluck dinner.

The bread came out of the oven exactly on time for me to head out the door to open the hall at 17:00 (we have a key to the Gillestugan in Gammelstad). I was first on site, but others arrived within seconds, and it took very little time to set up some tables and put out food.

My energy levels were low so I only sat at my place, chatted with people sitting nearby, and enjoyed how much energy the kids displayed as they ran around.

However, as the evening progressed I got more tired, and wound up deciding to head home at around 20:30. Two others were also tired, so I drove them home, which was nice for the company.

[livejournal.com profile] lord_kjar had driven his company car, so I gave him the key and he enjoyed staying till the end. Indeed, several of them moved to the home of one of the members and hung out for a few more hours.

Today I am still low energy, and was coughing a fair bit this morning, so I wound up canceling the gaming session I had planned to participate in, and napped the morning away.

Luckily, there is nothing on tomorrow's calendar.
