Saturday felt super short. I worked a bit, went to Target, we had a Chinese feast at Dad & Carol's with Stephen/Aub/Lola Jean/Baby Stephen and Debbie, then MFD and I drove downtown in the shitty rain and fog to see Dr. Cornel West who was totally worth venturing out in the weather for and finished the night off at a beef & beer for a friend raising money for her CF team.
Sunday also seemed short, and I woke up feeling behind and stressed out which I hate. Also woke up to dog poop IN our bed, spilled coffee, a crashed pantry shelf, second day of pouring rain with wet and muddy dogs, etc., none of which helped the behind/stressed out feelings. It's just one of those seasons in life for us right now, the only way through it is through it. I did my food prep, changed sheets, did five loads of laundry, picked up around the house, cleared out some bathroom cabinets and started two new books - one I stopped and one I'm continuing on with - painted my nails (OPI Warm & Toasty Turtleneck), lit some candles and got the fuck on with it. I also zoned out to The Goldbergs, ate brownies MFD made, and watched Olympic excellence.
Weekly food prep: Breakfast is scrambled eggs, snack - gala apples, lunch - PB&J on homemade whole wheat bread, dinner is clean out the freezer/pantry style: creamy garlic orzo (started with this recipe but used 2% milk) with some onion, carrot, and spinach from the veggie drawer + turkey meatballs from the freezer. There's a lot here, but I'll probably wind up with tater tots and chicken at some point later in the week. I also made breakfast burritos to freeze.
I hope you had a great weekend.
Tomorrow is Show Us Your Books! See you back here for that.
