Six o’clock came way, way too early this morning, but I did make it to work in time for the department heads’ meeting (our first since January). I got out of that in time for what amounted to a long brunch date with Lil’. But that’s not all! See, turns out she and my partner-in-brainwave had been cooking up a nefarious plot. And by “nefarious” I mean “really, really cute and sweet.”

The backstory on this is that I’m under strict orders to attend the masquerade ball taking place at Sakura-Con this year. My problem is that my wardrobe… needs help, for lack of a better way of putting it. The ladies conspired to give me a bit of help with that, and so I was absconded with to the mall for a quick bit of dress-shirt buying. I now have two new shirts, one in a nice dark-ish green and the other in what Lil’ insists is a “jewel” blue. (Hey, it’s a nice shirt; I don’t really care what color she calls it.)

Yay!

Work failed to be overly annoying, and afterward I swung by the apartment to hang out with the kids. Sadly, they were so overjoyed at the computer game I brought that I hardly got a word out of them most of the time I was there. The trip to the store for dinner fixings made up for that, thankfully.

And now I’m home, feeling like today was most definitely one of the better days. What a nice change of pace, eh?
