Sometimes you need that unplanned weekend. This past weekend was just that... oh there were periods of time that had appointments, but they were good ones, mostly. Friday kicked off with Carpool Buddy texting me and saying he was under the weather and I was to go it alone.
Fun thing about missing Carpool Buddy - I am his work back up, so I had a busy Friday. It was all good, make the day go faster. Which it did.
Then I met the trainer - ouch.
Then picked up Bubba at work, his car was getting new breaks. I'm due for new tires this fall - ah the joys of car maintenance.
So, home, loved Shelby, made dinner, cleaned up, and went for a massage... ahhhh glorious. Home dead.
Saturday, Shelby decided we needed to be awake at 6:20 in the A-freaking-M. But she's getting old, so we don't ignore the paw when it appears... crawled downstairs, she was out, in, fed, pill-ed and we were both back in our beds - only one of was snoring. Darn Dog. I read, played a game on my phone, read, got up and made breakfast, went to yoga class - a little stiff for a Saturday morning... came home, quick shower, then met Bubba for breakfast out, he went looking for replacement motorcycle clothes, I went to the store for dinner stuff, and a few extras, home, made a lemon pound cake, with brandy-raspberry sauce, made pizza for dinner (whole wheat crust) we went to the neighbors for a rousing game of Power Grid. I WON! Its been a long time since I have!
So, home dead, up to breakfast Sunday morning made for both me and the Bubba. Made a grocery list, cut coupons, and then headed to yoga class - ahhh for a Sunday morning.
I then went grocery shopping for the week, came home, got things organized, chopped and cut, and realized I was tired of storing beer we don't drink, so pulled everything out of that drawer - saw the mess in the drawer and under it... so I started pulling things out, had to fight with the shelf, got that out and was scrubbing away when darling Bubba returned home from his massage and asked "What did you spill?" when I said nothing - he looked at me "Company?" Me: Nope - it was gross decided to clean it.
There was then a few minutes of Bubba discerning if I was ill, and would it require a hospital stay, and subsequently a call to his in-laws - in PA and Bowie, Md. He then grudging helped be wrestle all that back into the fridge, I reloaded, and didn't realized I didn't turn the fridge back down to "chilly" until I was making lunches and thought my yogurt was just this side of warm. ewwww... turned it up all is well.
I have things chopped and ready for dinners this week, I have carrots and celery ready for lunches - I am prepped and ready! After all that - I went to my bedroom, dug out from the dump and run of last weekend, (and last week), stripped the bed, the bathrooms, and gathered up all the laundry, put other stuff away, then proceeded to get all the laundry done, made a baked chicken for dinner, with potatoes and asparagus... with sauce, but its a good for you sauce - almost. Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, and a bit of oil; salt, pepper - delish! Even Bubba likes it and he doesn't do "non-yellow mustard".
So cleaned up that mess (mostly) and went to bed... read for another hour, tossed and peed a few hours later, woke again, thought the clock said 3-something apparently it was close to 5 - as my alarm went off approximately 30 seconds later... 15 minutes after that I sprang out of bed, cursing my nature, and the hour --- and now, dress and caffeinated -- here I sit.
My calendar is very - um - unplanned this week. An unusual occurrence at the place of employment... so I will enjoy it today - and wonder how to fill the remainder of my week.
Enjoy the weather - although it looks a bit on the dark and gloomy side here in the wilds of Northern VA.
