The party went off by most accounts. The day leading up to it wasn't so smooth, but everything was ready just in time - we had to de-tetris the lounge and spread as much as possible back through the other rooms as well as get the party decorations up. But all done - I went in feeling relaxed, unlike last year.
The playlist was pretty good and I even managed to dance through the unholy trinity (Constantinople, Rasputin and Farewell to the Crown) which indicates that my fitness level is a bit higher than I though it was. When food-time came around the savouries were devoured like never before - don't know what made people particularly peckish last night.
Wasn't the most extravagantly costumed or even the best attended Gothic Vampire party I've attended but almost everyone was in the right mood and seemed to be having a good time.
Unfortunately my own mood took a low turn about 12:30 that I was unable to shake. Maybe I should have grabbed a savoury from the first or even second batch myself. Maybe it was something else.
Kicked the last four hangers on out about 3am. As luck would have it the people I had been lined up to deliver home found another ride. The main outcome of this was that I got to dance to -all- the songs I had requested instead of having to miss one which of the things I wanted for me out of the party was the only one achieved.
Stayed in bed until 11 - it would be inaccurate to say I slept in that long. Awake about 8am feeling sore and lonely, dozed and drifted until I had the spoons to get up, shower, eat, start the cleanup.
In addition to cleanup the office had to be emptied again - the painting isn't finished but we moved some furniture back in there for the night. The computer is now set up in a different corner of the main lounge, handily next to the stereo, and the rest of the lounge can be used as such. The dining room is back to it's normal state and things are gradually finding their way back to their usual spots in the kitchen and laundry.
I keep slipping and thinking tomorrow is Monday and I'll have to work. Keep reminding myself I do actually have another day although the list of things I have to do tomorrow is quite long anyway. Photos of course but there is still some cleanup and I also have paperwork which needs sorted out - having just been piled in a drawer for a couple of weeks and having had more shoved in on to yesterday. Since it seems likely this corner will remain the office for some weeks now.
Some of these things were meant to happen today but come evening my brain ability to focus on a single task - even getting a couple of bits of furniture between ends of the house one after the other - gave out completely and I've just been playing FreeCiv.
