Spring Break again. How? Time flies. The campus was dead and Yvette and the kids took off out of town. I was marooned. Good lord was it not just a slow ass week. Made even slower because Yvette was not around. I twiddled my thumbs. I’m sure glad someone was having fun off work. I was bored to tears. I had very few things happening at work, for good or bad.
The week did start with some excitement, a baby was born. My best friend/brother had his first child. So damn exciting. The baby was adorable. I was actually moved to tears when I saw the boy in person. It was so moving. I’m very happy for the new parents. I know they are scared having a child and being middle age but they will have a lot of support. I have faith. Exciting times.
Damn time change is still kicking me in the teeth. It’s just so dark in the mornings. Even my dogs were confused why I was up and letting them out in the dark. The light in the evenings is okay I guess. I just wish they eventually do away with day light savings. It fucks me up for a few weeks every time.
Friday was terribly slow at work. It was also nice and gloomy and cooler, which was nice. Woke up to crazy lightning and thunder. Liked the thunder when I was in the shower. Unfortunately, we didn’t get much for rain.
I took a late lunch for my doctors appointment so I didn’t have to use any time. This is my biannual check up. Always a good time. I swear to the good lord that my blood pressure is always higher when I visit the doctors. Sheesh. The visit was mostly positive but I have a future with more MRI happy time. Yay me!!!!
Happy Friday!!!

Saturday morning brunch with Yvette. Tatter tots & chorizo topped with cheese, hollandaise sauce, green onions and a sunny side egg.
Deconstructed chicken pot pie. I’ve done this once before and completely forgot about it until it showed up on my Facebook memories.
Chipotle chicken and rice with veggies. Nothing exciting on the eyes but the flavor was there.
BBQ chicken pizza. I’ve always liked these toppings and I question why I only just not decided to make my own. It was fantastic and I was a gluten and ate it all through the night.
Buffalo chicken twice baked potato. This wasn’t my original plan for dinner. I was going to make a chicken fajita stuffed potato and then Yvette sent me a recipe. I had to try it and I’m glad that I did.
BBQ chicken sandwich with pickled onions and Reaper cheese.
Beef nachos.
I made some Italian peppered pork tenderloin w/ raspberry chipotle & roasted Brussels w/ a balsamic glaze.
