I had a pretty decent weekend, although I worked for more of it than I wanted to. On Friday I slogged all day, and then ended early to go to a visitation - a woman who was in PEO with me, and was also v active in Extension and 4-H, and was also the mom of a former high school compatriot of mine. She was a v. nice lady, and it was sad to see her go - but she had also been having health issues, so perhaps it was a blessing. Mom and [censored] and I all went to pay our respects, and then we came home before I decided that I didn't want to cook, and so I went back into town to pick up Mexican takeout for me and [censored].
Yesterday I did some slogging for the day job and some planning for my Spain trip, which is coming together in ways that I'm quite excited for. As dusk approached, I went out to Mom's and lit the grill for what is almost certainly the last grilling night of the season - tonight would have been nicer, and last night was almost too brisk (I don't like wearing puffer jackets near open flame), but Mom had one last package of bratwurst that needed eaten. So we had brats and fried potatoes and baked beans, and it was all quite delicious.
Today I also slogged more than I wanted to (several hours this afternoon, and another couple of hours tonight) but I'm hoping to feel caught up enough by my Spain trip that I can avoid taking my laptop. It wasn't all work, though; I enjoyed my coffee in a leisurely fashion, did various tings around the house, and also made a creamy chicken and mushroom pasta for dinner. [censored] and I enjoyed it while watching last night's SNL, which was mostly funny but also fairly unmemorable. And then I came upstairs and did some work, and now I need to sleep - goodnight!
