Trying to keep this up, didn’t get my Sunday night timing right and yesterday was just a blah kind of Monday. So, Tuesday night it is!
Hoping it’s not too late to link up with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom. Let’s just get right into things…
The Weather
Fall arrived with some rain! And cooler weather. Of course, now it’s slowly heating back up a bit. Nothing like it was thank goodness. It’s currently 67 degrees and raining. Supposed to be in the low 80’s tomorrow and maybe more rain. Only supposed to be in the low 70’s and Thursday and lots of rain.
As I Look Outside My Window
Dark and rainy tonight but over the weekend, I spotted these sparrows hanging out in our boxwood when looking out the front window.
Right Now
I was listening to the rain as I typed this post but now the a/c is all I hear. I’m not mad the a/c is running as it is a bit stuffy in here.
Thinking And Pondering
Thank you to those of you who commented and sent prayers about my job situation. I did ultimately decide to give notice and had a rather lengthy meeting with my boss this afternoon. Still struggling a bit with the decision so that’s on my mind as well as if I said to much or too little. It’s hard to let go of somewhere you’ve been for over 10 years. Other random things on my mind: G is moving out, one of my older brothers getting diagnosed with cancer, an upcoming trip, and I don’t even know what else.
How I Am Feeling
Actually, I left work last Wednesday with some sort of bug. Proud of myself for actually saying you know what I don’t feel good at all and need to rest. And that’s what I did. All weekend. And I do feel much better.
On The Breakfast Plate
I had a blueberry bagel with berry cream cheese, pretty standard. And of course, coffee! Always. And then, at work, I take a Bubbler energy type drink with me
On The Lunch Plate
lemon blueberry yogurt, a cashew sweet and salty granola bar, and an apple. Plus water
On The Dinner Plate
Since my meeting with my boss ran late, I ended up grabbing Wendy’s for myself and J. Husband ate leftover spaghetti. G ate lunch late so wasn’t hungry and had plans anyway.
On The Menu
MONDAY: Spaghetti with Italian sausage and breadsticks
TUESDAY: Wendy’s/leftovers.
WEDNESDAY: Chicken Pomodoro (carry over from last week)
THURSDAY: Husband’s Choice *I have Mom’s Night Out plans*
FRIDAY: Not sure, maybe Korean meatballs…
What I’m Wearing Today
Olive green work tee shirt and different shade of olive green skort/shorts
On My Reading Pile
Been working my way through Enshitification by Cory Doctorow. It’s nonfiction about the business practices of companies like Amazon, Facebook, Google, etc. Really interesting and at times enraging. It’s basically a look at how the Internet and social media used to work and how the Internet evolved into the state it now resides. I’m on the last “what to do about it” chapter.
On My TV
Of course, I watched my 3-0 Chiefs on Sunday! Woohoo! That said, I hope our defense gets a bit better before we play again. Bit of the Monday night game last night but uh, I fell asleep so don’t really know the outcome. Last week I re-watched season 1 of Walking Dead (feel like a zombie, watch a zombie show, right?) and finished up Sinners, season 4 on Netflix. It was okay, the previous seasons were much better.
On My To Do List
- Grocery store *done*
- Call one of my older brothers to get info on the other brother *oddly done b/c I ran into the brother I needed to call in the grocery store*
- Library book return/pick up holds/request a few more for school
- Hand in notice at work *done* boss still wants me to stay which is good but makes it hard
- Decide what to wear tomorrow/find fall “witch” type outfit for Thursday night (Our Mom’s night out is an event called Witches’ Brew where we purchased tickets to walk around a local downtown and sample wines and have snacks. We’ve done it in the past and it’s lots of fun! Hopefully, it won’t be pouring rain on us the whole time this year)
What I Am Creating
*nada*
Something Fun To Share
I don’t know…these are the games I like to play on my phone: For just relaxing: project make-over which is silly but I enjoy dressing up my avatar and decorating the properties. My morning/evening *challenge the brain a bit* games, all NY Times: wordle (compete with husband to see who can get it in least guesses), strands (my personal favorite, like a wordsearch with clues instead of the words), and connections (I don’t do this one every day). What games are on your phone/computer?
From The Camera
Not a lot of photos because I was sick. These are all phone photos throughout the post.
