canadiandiamondAnd so the long weekend draws to a close. It was a nice one indeed, very relaxing, right up until today when I went back into the office to catch up on a few things in the afternoon and had a minor panic attack when I realized something that (thankfully) turned out not to be as bad as it first seemed.
Friday and Saturday I basically just let myself forget about work and real life as much as I could by sinking into LOTRO as far and as deep as I've been in a long, long time. On Friday I worked until 7pm effectively, which was crazy, so I needed a good escape from reality. I found it for sure, staying up fairly late on Friday night and holy crap it's so damn late on Saturday night. My only break from the game, aside from sleep, was going to see The Other Guys with my sister and her boyfriend on Saturday night. It was pretty funny, though my sister hated it. But yes, lots of LOTRO, and lots of leveling and improving my character, which was nice. I've been slacking for awhile, or rather, I've been doing other things lately other than playing - watching Dr. Who, writing a little, reading, etc. - but this weekend let me catch up a little to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Sunday I hung out with my friend Shawn for the afternoon / early evening, which was nice too. We had a barbecue followed by watching a movie on my new tv in Salmon Cove. Such an awesome tv - we put a movie file onto a USB flash drive and just plugged that directly into the tv and it plays it, no player or anything required. Very awesome tv, I'm very satisfied with that purchase, I must say. :) Then I came home, met up with my wife, and played some more LOTRO. It was a later night than I'd planned for but still nice, and went to bed at a better hour than Saturday night, heh.
Today was up and down, kinda. I slept in, which was good, but went to work, did very little other than the minimum, and just before leaving I realized something that had to be done and freaked out, thinking it was a lot worse than it was. I called my boss, even, who confirmed that there was less to do than I first thought, so then I did what I had to do and now tomorrow I'll get my assistant to mail things out and it'll be ok, phew. Then I came home and have been chatting with my beautiful wife ever since, which was made me feel so, so much better, as always. ♥ Also watched some episodes of Supernatural while chatting, which has also been nice, as I picked up Season 5 last week. I'd downloaded a few eps while it aired but fell way behind, so now I can catch up.
With that, though, it's time to get ready for bed. Busy, busy week ahead, ugh, court all day tomorrow, appointments all day Wednesday (going to get my assistant to move some of those though or else I'll fall even more behind), and court on Thursday and Friday in the city, meaning either very early rises those mornings or traveling to the city the evenings before, then a friend's 40th birthday party in Burin so a big road trip this weekend. So off I go!
Hope everyone had a nice long weekend! :)
