The fall semester is upon us. The students have things a little different this year. Social distancing and mask required on campus. If you’ve been trying to stay safe the past 5 months this shouldn’t be a new concept to you, but these are college kids and they have hormones and want to party and enjoy the whole college experience. That throws social distancing out the window. I’m very worried that our number will begin to sky rocket now that class has began both on campus and around town. My thoughts? Labor Day weekend is going to be a LONG weekend. Time will tell.
One thing about the week, at least on my end, was that it drastically calmed down. The s***show that had been the prior weeks was gone. My position has very little to do with the students so it might have been absolute hell across campus as far as the faculty and staff west of us were concerned. I wondered to myself if we had set the bar high towards disaster and maybe in reality it was mid rung. I’ll admit to being a little apprehensive due to how calm it was. Usually the first week of school on a normal year is something interesting.
It seems the mask police are out in full force. It’s not frowned upon me being alone on a golf cart without a mask. I can keep a distance from a student, trust me. But I keep hearing I’ll be made an example of. Basically, if you are on campus alone outside, anywhere; you must have a mask. I’m sorry, that thing is off my face as soon as I walk out a building. If a cluster of students are around it remains on. But I don’t need to wear a mask from the building all the way to my car if I’m the only person within 100 f***ing feet. Am I wrong?
Anyway, Friday arrived and I found myself alone. Bekah and Connie went on a much needed road trip. I’m also in need of one of those one of these days. I have no idea what I will do. Probably nothing. Argue with myself over what’s for dinner. Hope you all have a nice weekend!!! Cheers!!!

For brunch I made a chorizo bacon burger. This was both delicious and disgusting at the same time. So decadent was the meal. Sinful. I cooked chorizo and added it to the ground beef. I threw some bacon on the griddle and once it was done I used the bacon grease to cook the patties in. Then I fried and egg. This thing is a heart attack. Heart healthy.
Taco salad Monday. Something a little on the light side after that burger. It was refreshing.
Another salad. Cilantro lime chicken salad. Again, refreshing.
Chicken Alfredo over steamed broccoli. I spiced up the sauce which is why in appearance it looks more like queso. It was tasty.
I made a stir fry with what I had. It was good, nothing special.
Friday we had planned on some meatballs and spaghetti squash. Bekah and the sister-in-law decided on a road trip. Can’t say I’m not jealous. I have not left this town since 2019. Anyway, I decided to try a pizza place I keep wanting good things about. It was busy, and a mess to get the pizza , but it was the best in town that I’ve had. Amazing. No joke. Amazing.
Cocktail of the Week: Premixed margarita. I got what I could get.
