Friday Five – Off to a weird start already


  1. While I normally get to work at 7:30, today it was 8:30. We had a couple friends (and their daughters) over to watch the NFL draft and we did not go to bed until laaate. I felt ok going to bed and slept really well but did not set an alarm – purposely. I did end up waking up about 45 minutes later than normal so that was useful.
  2. I took my daughter up to the bus stop then headed out; traffic at this time of day is much different. Got to work and everything smells like burning but, like, electrical. They’re doing so much construction on this building, it makes sense but… gross.
  3. So I’m going to work a half day, do a bit of paper grading, and maybe look for some more jobs. I haven’t heard back from the job I had a pre-interview for last week. I’m not saying I gave up on it; things do sometimes take a lot longer than you think. But I have to at least stay vigilant. And at least it is Friday!
  4. Anyone else sick of deciding what to eat every day? Just me? I guess it’s just that we’ve been making a lot of meals at home lately and I feel like I’ve run out of good meals aside from the same old things we always have. And that’s mostly because I have a picky family. But today, I am just plum out of ideas.
  5. Seeing a movie later and hopefully by then I will have figured out food and my son will get his taillight fixed (he has an appointment but it’s his first time doing something like that on his own) and my weekend can then begin. No plans other than yardwork and relaxing; looking forward to it!

  1. Having to figure out what to have for dinner every day used to be the bane of my existence! I don’t cook much now in the empty nest other than big batches of things two of us can stretch over several days. Good thing no one relies on me for survival. Happy weekend!
