I organized my pantry and gave away a bunch of stuff on my Buy Nothing group. I had 4, count ’em, FOUR kitchen scales. Why?!? Also offloaded 8 empty Penzy’s jars that I was going to just toss in the recycling.
We also smoked some ribs on the Big Green Egg. They were freaking delicious.
Did chores, saw the kid and his family, and am now fighting off the Sunday night dreary thoughts of Monday. I am working to improve the performance, at least inter-personally with me, of a younger, egotistical, sarcastic, supercilious, know-it-all who has a slight whiff of misogyny about him. I want to win him over…and need to tamp down my desire to flatten him.
Found out my dad had a freak out at the lawyers over his will. I think he lashes out when he doesn’t feel like he’s in control… which isn’t good now that his brain is turning into Tapioca. Now I gotta deal with a pissed off lawyer and mom.
It’s been a long weekend. Didn’t have all that much to do, but it’s seemed to take forever to go by. Didn’t sleep very well at all the last few days… lots of weird dreams and waking up with muscle knots. Had my grandson here all day today… he’s a sweetheart and such a good kid, calm and peaceful for the most part. He’s watching My Neighbor Totoro all snuggled up with Husband right now, because Grandma’s worn out!
Other-Husband is changing jobs again… this 3rd shift thing has just been too much for all of us. He’s getting paid the same amount at a place he likes with a manager he’s previously worked for with better hours, so… here’s hoping!
This long weekend was too smokey for us to go outside. Hopefully the weather forecast is accurate and it will rain enough to put out the forest fire which has been raging for over a month. We’re all going stir crazy. Between Halloween arts and crafts, a large batch of library books, and a new (second hand) mini bakery toy we managed not to rely on TV to entertain the kids. I was soooo looking forward to them going to school tomorrow. Unfortunately, my eldest developed a fever today (not Covid) and we’re supposed to get their flu shots tomorrow morning. Looks like we’ll be stuck at home doing arts and crafts all week. My in-laws arrive on Friday and I’m too tired to stress about it. That’s a win right?
Got my booster Friday, slept through most of the weekend. And watched a lot of dumb tv shows.
I do that even when I don’t get a booster shot.
Perfect weekend sounds perfect.
That booster kicked my ass more than the other shots. I think b/c I had it right on the heels of my flu shot.
Spent the past four days being sick as hell. Finally turned a corner today, so I’ll log back into work tomorrow. A four day weekend blown.
Glad you’re getting better. I hope no long term effects linger.
We have a new foster dog who is super sweet but hyper. Knock on wood she’ll settle before long, but she’s young and will need a lot of exercise.
I admire the kind work you do in fostering, thank you on behalf of all our rescues over the years @blue dogcollar.

Ugh that’s the worst. Is it too passive aggressive to discreetly/anonymously leave a book about fragile masculinity on his desk?
Laundry! Bed sheets! Lots of Borax and Oxyclean.
