drinking the mulled wine

somehow, it appears we all woke up reasonably early, considering the night we'd all had. but we were all dead tired, so that when my friends showed up yesterday afternoon, we all looked a bit like zombies. and acted like them. we drank the mulled wine first, then i made us some rice pudding. and basically, we just lounged around, enjoying each other's company and not having to do much, or say much, for that matter. it was nice and relaxing. and when they left, i listened to my body telling me it was time to catch up on sleep.
