Ended Strong

The weekend was pretty chill/boring but it did end on a high note. Friday we did our typical: I made an easy dinner (leftovers) and then Doug and Lauren came over for some cards. Actually, they came over before dinner because I wanted an early night...I wanted to take a nice bubble bath. Which I did. And it was lovely. 

Saturday Jim and I went out to run a couple errands. We headed to Joann Fabrics to get some new upholstery for the kitchen chairs along with some new padding for the chairs and stuffing for the couch pillows. I'll work on that project next weekend, I think. From there we went to Cartridge for a couple beers and lunch. We were home around 1:30 and both in need of a nap. I made dinner and then we hunkered down in front of the fire and watched True Detective. (I'd watched it but Jim hadn't and I knew he'd like it.) 

Sunday we did our normal morning stuff: Big breakfast and puppy walking. It was a lovely morning and Scout and I got a solid 4 miles in. He was so happy! Because we had plans to go out with D&L for an early dinner, we decided not to go to Shooters. Instead, we hung out here. We mounted the TV in the guest bedroom where my elliptical is and then I moved my recumbent up there. It was so nice this morning to just turn on the TV, tune into Youtube and do my yoga. So much better than on my iPad. I can't wait to get home and get on the elliptical and watch whatever I choose. I might just do the recumbent instead. Who knows...so many options. 

Anyway, around 3:30, we headed out to the Taft Brewporium on Spring Grove for a couple brewskies. From there we headed over to the Northside Yacht Club for an early dinner. I had their cauliflower wings and everyone else had the monthly special: Deep fried coneys. Jim got the meat and D&L opted for the vegetarian option. I did have a bite of Jim's and it was delicious. It might look questionable but I'm telling you it's yummy. I just couldn't bring myself to get it...just too decadent and I'm not feeling great about myself lately. 

We were home by 6:30 and after getting stuff ready for my day today, I poured a glass of wine and watched another episode of True Detective. I was in bed by 8:00 and probably asleep by 8:30. And then awake at midnight and didn't seem to get back to sleep until 3ish. And then, of course, I woke back up at 4:26...4 minutes before my alarm went off. Annoying. 

This week: Nothing much until Thursday when I have to be at work until 8:00. Such complete horse shit. I hate late nights. Oh well, considering I haven't participated in one yet this year, I guess I just need to suck it up. I'll try to do it without complaining too much (ha...not likely). 

Dinner tonight: I think I'll do some fish and chips with cole slaw. I still haven't made my Hungarian veggie stew. I'll plan on next weekend for that when I know nothing is going to come up to stymie those plans. 

K - time to finish up my toilette. Happy Monday...fingers crossed that the week flies by. Later!
