A Bit Disappointed

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, Jim and I went out to eat at our local cantina because Jim was crazing fried ice cream. Unfortunately, his experience last night did not live up to his expectations. It was okay (I had a couple bites) but the "fried" part had the texture of stale cornflakes. I know it's normally made with cornflakes but I'm pretty sure these had been sitting around for a while. I told Jim I'd find a recipe and make him a much better version. 

All in all, however, dinner was delicious. I got a meal I'd not had before - Avocadilla. It's a quesadilla with veggies and lots of avocado and was delicious! I may or may not have had a margarita too which was definitely delicious. 

School: Not much happening there. One of my kids is getting on my nerves. He's a senior and skipped out on his senior service presentation a couple weeks ago. This means he has to make it up and of course I'm now getting emails from his dad and the community service coordinator making sure he's on track. I mean, why is this suddenly my responsibility!? So dad emailed me and asked me to check to see that his presentation and written piece were complete. So I asked the kid and he said they were. I asked if he'd shared them with the coordinator and he said, "I think so." (I'm so sick of that response.) So I said open them and check. So he hemmed and hawed and expected me to get distracted and forget to follow through but I didn't. So after several minutes went by with him NOT checking I asked him again. He said, "I'll check." That happened about 3 more time until I finally marched his ass to my desk to sit with me and show me. He of course couldn't find them so I grabbed his Chromebook and looked myself. When I found the PowerPoint it had two slides with only a title written on it. When I asked him about the written piece he said it was hand written and "he couldn't find it". So then I had to have a conversation about lying to me. I mean dude! As a senior, have you not figured out that your little lies are going to come back and bite you in the ass!? Jaysus! So I had to email his dad and lay it all out for him and I'm sure the kid got his ass reamed when he got home. Needless to say, when I woke up this morning, both items had been shared with me. 

I still have a sore throat. Did I mention that yesterday? I woke up in the middle of the night Sunday into Monday feeling weird...sore throat and then a headache. I was worried about Covid so I took a test and it was negative. As the day wore on, I continued to have a twinge of a sore throat but it wasn't bad. When I woke up today, it's much more painful and I have a bit of a phlegmy nose + a little, sort of cough. Hmm...I'll monitor today...I think it might be allergies but who knows. I don't want to get anyone sick but I feel relatively fine and I'm taking Friday off and don't want to miss. 

Dinner tonight will be pork chops, cauliflower and rice.

Okay time to get a move on. Happy Tuesday. Later!
