Day 284 (party)

Tonight was the monthly ladies'  get-together. I don't know what they're usually like (I was expecting dinner and a lecture), but I went, chatted, ate dinner, chatted, and... played with pottery! Seriously. The thing started around 8, and I realized at 11:30 that I really, really had to go home even though I had not yet decorated my lamp and over half of the women were still there. It was fun. I haven't played with proper clay since middle school. It still feels great. So glad I forced myself to hang out with and meet more people in this community. (Also, they're really nice, and I actually enjoy spending time with them.)
