ianukSo last week felt more me. I was more focused and more with it and I made it to the gym twice...though both were not my usual but I did it. My left ankle is being special so that made leg day hard. I managed to find my heavy duty brace but my light weight one is MIA but its okay. I need to see the chiro and get it looked at. The week was tiring and work threw a turd on Thursday at 4pm. We shall see what we can do this week. Its a mess but I forgot about it after dinner on Thursday and remembered today. So I think that is good.
Got Cane's for dinner and Benton was still hungry after a huge amount of food. Oof. The weekend was a lot of food arguing cause I'm not going to let him eat crap constantly and then not eat dinner. So, I get you are hungry but you need to make better choices. I'm about to start him on protein shakes to help with the hangries.
Friday we all had the day off and that was awesome. Ari and I went out to lunch after I dropped off the civic for service. We had sushi and drinks and I got to give her the yarn I finished as her bday gift. Yes, I gave her yarn that I made. She appreciated the gift and the love that went into it. Plus its 303 yards of pretty purple in a heavy lace/light fingering yarn that is Yak/Merino/Silk. What is not to love about that? But we had a good time and then bummed around Heroes and Villians and hit all 3 shops. Got a Mothman stuffy, records and the hardbound compilation of House of M. Then it was back to pick up the car and home for gaming. Animal Crossing had a Bunny Day thing that I was able to complete and had fun making the things.
Mel and I started watching Shadow and Bone which is fun and a very neat Eastern European feel to it. Lots of racism without explanation, neat magic, interesting tech and you really aren't sure who the "good guys" are but it is engaging and pretty. Love the clothes and fancy coats.
On the book front I finished #11 Paladin's Strength and it was great. honestly one of the best of the series. Got started in an anthology called "Instinct: An Animal Rescuers Anthology" which has Jim Butcher, Kelly Armstrong, Seanan McGuire, Patricia Briggs etc. its been fun and the Good Boy Mouse story by Butcher was really fun.
Over the weekend I really wanted to cook for the first time in a while. I made meatloaf and used our new air fryer for the first time. I used the preset for cajun potatoes...basically julienne up potatoes, toss in olive oil and spices and bake and shake. The timing wasn't right but I got them cooked well and Mel couldn't stop eating them. They finished earlier than needed but that was okay. It was a success and I will definitely be trying things again. I got the 6 quart which is large and yes if I had filled the basket it probably would have been the correct time. But this will be a learning curve.
Sunday was Bunny Day which was really video game day. My tummy didn't like all the drinks I had the night before and I played and read a lot. And then my brain was like..lets make a sushi bake. Like really brain? WTF? But I had the idea from things I saw on some social platform. Basically make sushi rice, cover in furikake, then a mix of seafood of your choice with mayo and cream cheese and then put that on top of rice and then bake until bubbly. I used vegan cream cheese and needed to add more. You can make Japanese mayo by adding murin to regular mayo + sugar. It turned out nice and you serve it on nori. I was suprised mel liked it cause he hates warm tuna (I used canned tuna versus sushi grade) but Benton loved it as well. So something creative and different and I had all of the ingredients which is always a plus. I didn't even leave the house all weekend.
So no crafting, just a few household things like laundry and making the boy clean his room and put away his laundry after he did it. That is a chore in itself since he's unmedicated right now since all of the adderall and generics are back ordered. Sighs. seriously this is an issue and he has state testing on no meds. yeah. this is fun.
