And by “this” I mean, make it until the next weekend or break, etc. I didn’t feel as down on Sunday like I have been but I definitely appreciate weekends way more these days.

Anyway, back to Friday. The whole week went fairly quickly but it was exhausting. When I left work and called my husband, we decided that BBQ sounded good, so I rerouted and swung into Mission. I hadn’t had that in a good long while; I got brisket and pulled pork and some cole slaw. He had their turkey and mac and cheese. I called Elliot and asked if he wanted some too; the kid works hard all day cleaning pools! Got home and ate and then, knowing I didn’t have to do anything until post-dance pick up, we watched an old movie called Terror Train, which was pretty good for a horror. I got my daughter and her friend around 8 and then I know we began another movie but I very much fell asleep.

Saturday was weird. I woke around 6 and did my typical morning of quiet but around 8 I was feeling nauseous and headachey. Luckily it passed! Went to the store for my lunch plan stuff. Made guacamole, yellow rice, fajita chicken, and a pinto bean soup that actually turned out really good. All that by 11:30! 3/5 of us were just not feeling motivated though. Not sick but just no oomph. Isaac worked at both his jobs (reffing city sports and then as a dishwasher) and then went to hang out with his girlfriend and Elliot went to the gym but the rest of us, not so much. We started a movie but Ash was falling asleep so he went to take a nap. I only mention it because my husband does NOT nap. He barely ever feels tired! I tried to nap but couldn’t but also, did nothing on my long list. Sigh. The worse part is that it was very nice outside. I guess one good thing about the afternoon though is that it was quiet; peaceful. I even sat in the sun room and did a little journaling.

Once Ash was up and feeling normal again, we went back to a couple movies (Tourist Trap and Psycho) but not the one we had started before. Dakota had a friend over and Elliot came down for a little bit. All in all, a very lazy Saturday, but maybe sometimes that’s necessary.

Thankfully, we all awoke Sunday in much better spaces. Got out to do runs around 7:30/8. Dakota even opted to run with me, which was nice. Once done, we went to the store. Even though I planned for burgers and got what we needed on Saturday, there definitely was more to get. With soccer on in the background, I prepped hamburgers and started laundry, and put away Halloween decor. In fact, I did quite a few things on my list. The kids helped but not as much as I would have liked. Ok ok, Elliot offered to vacuum, which was a shock. We mostly just watched football, though got some other things done. Knowing that almost everyone is off this coming Wednesday, we did put off a few things. I’m definitely less unhappy this morning, knowing I only have to teach for two days then I’ll have a day off. Weird for it to be mid-week but, not complaining.

It’s cool too, with a much cooler weekend on the horizon. (30s/50s). We have brew club on Thursday and our executive meeting Friday. Things to look forward to but also work on. I’m mostly prepared for teaching today but do always feel like Mondays are like ripping off a band-aid. It’s time to be tough and accept my fate though. I hope you are all having a good Monday!

Just for funsies, here’s a photo of how all the NFL games started. They were either 3-0 or 0-3!
