Well… our numbers are up. Higher than ever before. What happened? What is everyone doing? Is it all the no mask wearing mouth breathing motherf***er’s? Undoubtedly! We clearly have a problem here. Wasn’t the virus going to disappear after our election? 🙄
The campus sort of feels like it did back in March. So many rumors, gossip, uncertainty. Are we closing. Are we working from home. Are we to shift to skeleton crew. With 1,012 new cases since Monday everyone is freaking out, as they should be. 116 active COVID cases on campus. Many people on quarantine, including my friend Yvette. She is well, but had a bit of an ordeal. Let’s just say they didn’t break it to her well. That’s really an understatement. Boy oh boy was she ever pissed. Rightfully so. To be told you were in contact with a positive but ever told who this person was to know just how in contact you were. Preposterous. She is now getting a little pandemic leave out of it. Some time at the house. She deserves it after the stress she went through.
Crazy a** week. I took a mental health day Monday not realizing how badly I would need it to get through the rest of the week. I walked the trails. I fed the ducks corn. I ran errands. I visited with my mother. I relaxed. I’m glad I did all this. I can’t imagine having worked a full week once Friday finally arrived. I was f***king done. DONE!!! The lack of decision making by the people that make decisions was giving me a headache. By 4 o’clock I was ready for an adult beverage. I suppose I should be thankful for the gloomy morning.
A chance for rain. Minimal, but there. Give me something good. I need it.
Jalapeño.
Saturday nachos. Italian nachos. Made with wonton, Alfredo, and mozzarella. Topped with real goodies. Naysayer’s be d***ed!!! It might not be 100% Carino’s, but it was my take on Italian nachos and it was delicious.
Chicken fajita bowl. You will likely see more bowls now that we have these “dinner” bowls. I like them.
Breakfast burrito bowl. This consist of scrambled eggs, chorizo & mushrooms, avocado, jalapeño, tomatoes and cheese. Bekah is doing the Keto diet and I’m doing my best to help.
Teriyaki burger.
Slow cooker Asian pot roast. I’m not sure why I’ve not done this before. It’s my basic Asian marinade that I make for everything else, but applied to a roast and slow cooked. It was rather amazing.
Tuna!!!
Cilantro lime chicken. Bekah made this one. The flavors were out of this world. I wanted seconds.
Usually on Friday I have an idea WTH we are having for dinner but not this time. Rummage through the fridge and pantry for ideas. I had chicken thighs. I have ramen noodles. Some Panda Express orange sauce. I can make something of this. Another bowl meal.
Cocktail of the week: Scotch
