I am seeing some light at the end of the tunnel in terms of how busy I am - which is probably wishful thinking / laughably naive, but allow me to indulge myself.
I had an okay weekend despite everything. Yesterday I tackled the fact that my bedroom and office were getting out of control - I hadn't fully unpacked from my SF trip, and so I needed to do several loads of laundry and put away many tings (I always come back with more stuff than I leave with, especially when these events usually give out new backpacks, sweatshirts, water bottles, etc., etc.). My desk was also a disaster, and I had many packages that needed to be repacked for returns (the Nordstrom Anniversary sale giveth and taketh away). But now everything is tidied up, which makes it easier to focus, so hopefully that bodes well for the week ahead.
Last night, I made supper for Mom and [censored] - I made prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts stuffed with an herbed cream cheese and bacon, which are v. v. tasty. I hadn't made them in ages, and I'm glad I remembered that they exist. We all hung out for awhile while they finished cooking, and the wait was worth it, if I do say so myself.
Today was unusually productive for a Sunday - I did some writing this morning, did more laundry, took care of the remaining paperwork on my desk, and then worked on my taxes. Yes, taxes are due in April, but I filed for an extension because of everything going on, and my CPA would like the info now before it all gets too late. I got pretty close to done before deciding I needed to take a break, and so I'll have to look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow.
Then I messed around for a bit, played with my garden, sat on my balcony and journaled, and made supper. The chicken last night was so good that I made it again tonight (Mom got last night's leftovers, but [censored] and I wanted more). We ate it with the last couple of ears of corn that I picked up last weekend, and it was pretty delish. Then I cleaned up the kitchen, procrastinated for awhile, folded clothes, and did a wee bit of day job work.
And now I need to go to bed - but not before wishing a happy birthday to Katie, my sister from another mister! Goodnight!
