So another weekend at the house. This was the first weekend I didn’t really leave home. I’m not someone that can sit still long. I must admit to boredom. A cold front sure did blow in. It got freaking chilly outside. I’d already put away my winter cloths so they were dug back out and put into action. All week The Weather Channel had been teasing rain. Like 7 days of it. Where the f*** is it!!!! I’ve been waiting & waiting & waiting!! Drizzle is not a fair substitute, Mother Nature.
Saturday Bekah decided to dress up. She did her hair and make up for the first time in over a week. Pandemic mode was broken. I’m happy she did this because it put her in a better mood. It brought a little of the old normal back to her life.
Saturday lunch. Not really the best grilling weather but oh well. Bacon wrapped chicken breast topped with green chilis and served with a refreshing salad. I order this from a local restaurant which is usually served on a bun. Bekah said it was amazing. Which I guess it was. Preparing, cooking & consuming took up a 2 hour block of my day. I had a couple beers. I still was left with a lot of time on my hands before dinner. Being that it’s misty outside my daily walk was put on hold. So what did I do until the time to make dinner arrived? I twiddled my thumbs for a few hours while blankly gazing out the kitchen window hoping for some excitement in the neighborhood. Never happened. Neighbors are taking this quarantine thing very seriously. I did happen to see the neighbor up the streets old German Sheppard that’s always let free to roam take a crap in my yard. That was exciting!
Well, that was fun. Twiddling thumbs. Also lots of FaceTime. Seems to be the new normal. From 2-10. Some drinks were taken. It was nice seeing family members. I miss them. I do. Slovak got another time in. She found TP at HEB!! She is going crazy. That’s normal these days. We took shots. I should have walked away. Peer pressure. To be honest, what else would I be doing. By the end 3 people were pretty drunk. I sat on the couch and opened my eyes 2 hours later not even knowing time had elapsed. This liquor stockpile isn’t going to last if we keep this up. I feel like we are actually being more social in these social distancing times. I’ve FaceTimed more than ever in my life. I hate seeing my face on the phone, tbh.
It was my lost brothers birthday. How I miss him. He would have been 32 Saturday. We talked a little. I don’t think he would have liked the times. But, one of his favorite bands released a single. I’m sure he is loving that. I miss the little f***er. I do. He would make me laugh right now.
So it’s a Fritos pie kind of night. Gloomy great day. Waiting on the rain. It didn’t come. Booooooo. This was the smallest batch of chili I think I’ve ever made. I made it a bit differently. It was fantastic. I never knew I was craving a Fritos pie. That’s was a LOT of food. Hit the spot.
Sunday rolls around and Bekah has to go into work. Probably not in the best condition. Bummer that she even had to go. Made the day feel like a Monday. Still gloomy out. Still waiting on the rain. I woke with absolutely zero drive to do anything. I figure I’d watch something. I was recommended Fleabag. The first season was hilarious and pretty darn sad. I was surprised how easily I was drawn into the show. The lead actress does a great job. She has some fantastic facial expressions. Monday I might just veg out and watch season 2.
Sunday brunch. I’m enjoying this. Originally I was to make biscuits & gravy. That would be cruel without Bekah. It’s one of her favorites. It would be my first time making it and to do it while she was away… mean. So I looked at what I had. Leftover chorizo. I could make chorizo egg tostadas. Had a moment of indecision on how to go at it. Scrambled eggs or sunny side. By brother said sunny so that’s what happened. What a f***ing masterpiece. I wasn’t expecting what I got from just winging it. Usually I place tooooooo much though into a meal. A little adult vitamin C & I was a satisfied man.
Chopped. Bekah’s round. I was to pick from the house hold ingredients. I had to keep reminding myself that I will have to eat whatever she makes. This made it a little less fun. I couldn’t be cruel. Funny, the broccoli was throwing me off. The enchilada sauce was her trouble. Not at all what I would have done, but it was really good. Enchilada burger with some pasta. She had a blast. She cussed. Flipped me off. This might be a regular thing while we are stuck at home. Gotta keep things interesting.
That’s it for this weekend blog. I never really saw it rain. What a bummer. I’m exhausted. Hope all of you have a nice Monday. Cheers to you all! We got this, friends!!
