My last post was all about how Wednesday just felt bad but today seems a lot better

1. I seemingly could not eat enough yesterday. I was just hungry, so on my way home, all agitated and feeling like I was honestly not myself at all, I swung into the store and got 5 hot and spicy wings and that really hit the spot.
2. After scarfing those down, I finally walked into my daughter’s room with a vengeance. She is a total slob and no matter how many times I ask/tell her to clean up, she just doesn’t. I’m talking trash and just stuff EVERYWHERE. I began in one corner and threw out trash and other little trinkets and before I knew it, was nearly done. When she got home, though, we had a nice chat, she got a punishment of weed-pulling, then she got to work on the rest of it and maybe, just maybe, understands this process a lot more and can do it herself.
3. Got the steak, mashed potatoes and corn on the cob going and man was that a good meal! The Costco prime sirloins are fantastic cuts of meat. We all really enjoyed it and then around 6, we took the younger two to the park.
4. Our plan was to not drink on Wednesday. Not that I think we drink too much but for weight purposes, trying to cut down. But since it’s so easy to slip into that routine – come home, relax, have a meal and a drink, watch something, go to bed – we wanted to switch things up.
5. We did a bit of walking on the trails then let the kids run around. They may be 10 and 14 but kids still enjoy a playground.
6. We watched a movie in the evening but by then, I was just tired. It happens; I don’t really feel stressed but my general life worries usually manifest in sleepiness.
7. Finally, no plans this weekend – or at least, no out of town plans. Friday night, Ash and I are going to see a movie at the theater and then there’s a possibility a friend comes over Sunday to help us install a fan and a new door but otherwise, I plan to do some yard things, like spray weed ‘n feed. It’s looking green but there’s definitely a lot of weeds.
8. April feels like it just flew by; very odd considering earlier months were centuries long.
9. It’s weird knowing I will be leaving this office; I sometimes feel like a ghost here. Part of it is me – I’m avoiding talking to anyone and participating in the in-office chat sessions some of them have. I mean, what’s the point? And I don’t like feeling like they might know I have to leave but then I act like everything is fine. That’s just too weird. One good thing, on that note though, is that my senior editor is leaving at 1 today and isn’t it tomorrow and also, my big boss is out today and tomorrow. It’s a relief when they aren’t here.
10. It’s bring your kids to work day so the youngers are with Ash. Obviously there’s nothing going on here. Isaac didn’t originally want to go but ended up anyway. I would typically text Ash throughout the day but I know he’s busy helping out with all the various activities his place o’ business has for all the kids.
11. The first part of my morning went quickly but now it has slowed down.
12. I’m probably going to eat some chicken from the House cafeteria today since the others are having pizza and my oldest is working later. We’ll probably have a few friends over to watch the NFL draft tonight but I won’t be eating any major dinner, just junk, as is our tradition.
13. And since we abstained yesterday, you’d better believe I’ll be having a beer tonight! Catch ya tomorrow all.
