The Nameless, Timeless Tide

The Monday after the long weekend I was hoping for a mellow day to ease into the week. Well that didn’t happen: I got fucked. I had so much to do that I was only actually in the office about 3 hours top. I have no idea what the deal was. Lord. At least the day went by quickly but it sure exhausted me. On top of a busy weekend I was spent.

I’d like to say Tuesday was more laid back but I’d be lying. This week seems to be relentless. Yvette seems to be having the same sort of week. She has had meeting after meetings and a lot of extra work for this cyber security event coming up this week. We had one moment of peace where we both took a break and went a to check mail. I’m over the week and it’s just Tuesday.

Wednesday was more of the same: busy. I’m tired. Nothing really to talk about. Yvette and I had a pizza picnic on campus. We have done that a few times. Find a random place to sit and eat. I really like it. Usually it happens when she is busy and needs to work a little more. Boy was she busy this week. I even helped her that afternoon by carting a bunch of boxes from on building to the next. Always happy to help my sweetie. The day ended with me having a colossal headache. I went home and started my baked potato, took 4 pills and laid on the couch. I don’t get a headache often, thank god. All the pollen in the air this time of year. Yuck. I fell asleep and woke to the oven timer. That’s rare as can be. I woke up a little pissy and still tired.

Long busy days just keep coming. Oh well. I couldn’t get off my feet. I also helped move stuff back that I moved the day before. The event was over. I didn’t mine, I volunteered. Plus I got two lunches out of it and a shirt. It’s kind of fun being helpful.

Friday was surprisingly busy, which I needed. Fridays can be a bore. I hit it hard early and pretty much kept it steady all day. I had myself a little lunch on campus, thanks again to Yvette and my helping them the last 2 days. It was a fairly amazing grilled veggie wrap from our campus food source. Sadly, I was alone. She had a meeting from 1-5. To also fill the time I drove around handing out eclipse glasses. Monday we have a total solar eclipse on Monday. We are not in the totality zone but it will nevertheless be fun. Shame it’s happening while at work. Finally 5 arrived. Yay!

Happy Friday!!!!

Jalapeño

Lasagna with green beans. I was so tired so I made a microwave meal.

Ranch style beans with grilled sausage, jalapeño and sauerkraut. I accidentally sort of burned the sausage a little but it still managed to be tasty.

Beef tip w/ gravy stuffed baked potato.

Chicken enchilada bowl.

Date night! Sriracha soy pork belly with kimchi and broccoli. This was a first. I liked it. I know what to do different next time.
