Robbi swims over to the edge closest to the bar and peaks over the edge, grinning. She carefully sets the empty bottle onto the ground, then carefully steps over the edge of the tub. A large fluffy towel magically appears draped over a nearby chair, so she dries off with it.

Nope, I'm fine. Just enough alcohol in me, thank you. Hi Kristines. Not sure I know you, glad to meet ya.

She then puts her clothes on, looking a bit wobbly.

The time has come for me to go to bed. The keys are on the hook behind the counter.

blue used to love running around naked when she was a kid. Then came dreaded puberty and Mom saying she needed to where clothes because she was growing

Smooches all around!

Blue steps back into hottub, and looks around

Wow I've been in here a while tonight. So, what brings you guys in here so late?

I have a major project I have been working on and it is in several parts. I had to put off one part while I concentrated on a different part and the deadline of the put-off part is tomorrow noon so I had to stay up late tonite to do it. Overall I am about a week ahead of schedule but this is major bigtime and I can't mess it up.

So .. I just finished for the night and thought I would drop in. What about you? It is two hours earlier here.

I'm a nite owl. It's about 4 now and I usually don't go to bed until 5ish. Though right now I don't have a job, so I've been trying to fix my resume.

Retail, customer service mostly. I don't have any degrees. I'm unemployed at the moment. I'd like to get into something different though. Look back a few pages for more details.

I have to get up early, have to finish up on the part of the project I set aside to get to the part that I set aside before. I juggle a lot. The sad part is that I heard the train start to apply the breaks on this project today when the primary vendor comes back with "we may have to rethink our architecture to handle the traffic volume you are anticipating". Architecture rethinks generally mean 6 months or more.

Am there, doing that. (As you, and, fuck, everyone in the bar - if not everyone on ePlaya - know.) There are good days and bad, as with anything. But I'm surviving. (It helps that I'm back on my medication. *wry smile*)

Sorry I missed you in here tonight. Of course, I missed everyone in here tonight. And I leave in the morning for an all-weekend event, so I may well continue to miss people for a while yet....

M wakes up in her favorite comfy chair in front of the fireplace, looks around. Doesn't see anybody, could be her eyes since whatever was in those shots that Guin was pouring last night were quite potent and it only took 3 to knock M on her ass! M gets up and relights the fire since it is -18 outside. Puts a pot of strong coffee on to brew.
