lagilmanLast night was, as expected, much fun. Lots of people-watching, free decent drinks, many interesting and entertaining places to wander without having to go outside, and I was hit on by presentable boys a decade younger than I am [but did not, as invited, do tequila shots with them.]. Played for a while at the blackjack table and then decided it was time to stop playing for real money as I'd started drinking [serious gambling and booze do not mix for the meerkat]. Ended the year -- literally, as it was just before the countdown started -- by hitting a royal flush on the video poker machine with 5 coins in, and so ended my gambling for 2007 on a pleasant note.
Came in around 2:30. Collapsed. Was woken up at 4 by a feline (guess who!) telling me I hadn't left food in his dish. Put food in dish. Went back to sleep. Woken up again by both cats demanding More Food! Scowl at them because I just put food down, damn it. Realized it's almost 8. Got up and fed them. Crawled back into bed and read more of the book-o-the-moment (The Subtle Knife, finally!). Got up again around 10, made the traditional New Year's Day cafe au lait breakfast/dessert, and did the also-traditional New Year's Day tarot readings for myself and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
0eris0 who stayed over last night. Contemplated going out for brunch. Listened to the wind and rain outside, decided to stay in, instead. There is a huge potato baking, I have made jalepeno sour cream topping to go with it, and the plan right now is to read some more over a carblicious lunch, while the felines sleep and chaos, for the moment, is held at bay by sheer contented bliss.
Later, I think, I may do some writing. The itch is on me once again.
I hope you are all feeling as snug and contented and mellow as I am right now...
