The cold returned. It’s not uncommon for us to see temps dip back down to the 30’s this time of year and that’s exactly what happened. I wasn’t feeling it. It was putting a damper on my morning walks. I don’t like my face to freeze and that’s exactly what it felt like with the wind. Of course our weather is bipolar and will change at the flip of a dime.
Hump day rolled around & I got to see some work faces. Although we are all keeping in contact it was very welcoming having person to person contact, social distanced. Jamie needed a scanner so I met her at the office. It totally gave me an excuse to visit. I don’t want to be like Jimmy and just show up sad everyday to talk & talk about his only hobby being “The Drink”. My boss and coworker also seemed bubbly over our visit. Boss was soooooo chatty. I was there for almost an hour and I was fine with that. One thing I’ve taken from this is that I need more contact with people than I thought I did. Monday & Tuesday I was in a bit of a funk. Seeing the faces that I’m normally seeing on a work week was rather nice. Highlight of my week? Maybe!
Thursday I got bored. I thought I’d drastically alter my appearance. Not like I’m seeing any people so who cares. Well, Bekah did. I took a razor to my face for the first time in 7-8 years. I looked into the mirror and didn’t quite recognize the youthful face looking back at me. Where had this person been all these years? Hidden behind a mask of facial hair. It was bizarre. It felt refreshing. Bekah was in for a surprise. When she did arrive home the look on her face was priceless. And she wasn’t too thrilled. You see, she likes the beard. I wasn’t aloud to shave during this pandemic. It had been 4 weeks since I last trimmed the beard. Pretty drastic change of appearance. She said it was like coming home to find a different man occupying the house. She might be sharing a bed with a stranger. It’s going to take a little while but it will grow back.
Friday rolls around and we’ve all made it 4 weeks. Or however many depending on where you might live. Uneventful day spent reading more than walking. Hope everyone is safe and sound. Cheers!!!
Jalapeño
Sweet chili chicken. This is a HEB seasoned meal packet. Great stuff.
Teriyaki steak. Fantastic.
Chicken on a stick. Some thighs. The asparagus. My lord. I used sesame oil, soy & brown sugar. A real treat.
Friday I think might be our takeout night. Lily’s Pizza. Bekah won the coin toss. Mushrooms, black olives, pepperoni, jalapeño. It was fantastic. They were busy.
Cocktail of the Week: peach vodka, again.
