I Survived "the meal"

Thankfully they allowed me to make my own plate, so I chose to put as little food on it as I felt would be polite. The food was good, but I did decide to leave a bit on my plate when I felt as if I had had enough. I am so happy I did! The only problem I had was that I think I overstayed my welcome. I did not realize that my hostesses needed to take a nap. The chef kept hinting at it, but I thought the other one was in the mood to stay up, so I sat there like a dummy, until the other one also said she needed a nap. Then I "got it" that they were just being polite. So I thanked them profusely for inviting me after saying I was sorry I had overstayed my welcome. They didn't say much and then we hugged and I left with a take home plate, which I will have tomorrow. I will be eating very light for supper tonight!
