Really nice weekend....
Feb. 22nd, 2021 08:08 am My work week last week was long and dull and way too exciting on Friday afternoon. Seriously, why do work things wait until Friday afternoon to blow up. In this case I don't mean literally but man it was annoying.
I hosted a work Zoom Happy hour and started off with a nice dirty martini and then moscow mule. We had a nice time and there were cats, a bunny and guinea pigs visiting too on the feeds. It was good to see coworkers and enjoy some down time and drinking and knitting. Plus mel made pork carnitas for dinner and delivered it to me while I was on the call! Woot! This week's episode of WandaVision had a big reveal and I really want to make the circus Darcy outfit now.
Saturday I got up and headed to HIIT and the ankle was much improved from Tuesday and Thursday. I was able to bounce around a bit more. I got us breakfast burritos and then got my Saturday Ritual Shower (TM), did a face mask skin treatment, got laundry washed, got dressed up for court, sat through court and did basically simple closed captioning in the chat for folks. Then it was relaxing and working on projects some more before sitting and watching TV into the evening with Mel. We've been watching "How to Drink" on YT and some of the history is good. His choices of vodka is deplorable. Seriously, you like Tito's? what is wrong with you???!!! I did make us some new to us drinks. I made mel a Spruce Goose which is Gin, honey, lime juice, bitters and tonic. He loved it. I learned that honey and shakers are annoying but I have a plan for next time. I made myself a modified Red Queen: gin, st. germaine, cranberry and lemon juice. I switched out the cranberry and lemon for pomegranate and lime plus a bit of tonic for sparkle. It was super tasty.
Sunday was a sleep in day which was nice. I've been reading a really good story on A03 and its LONG. Like the middle story is 220k of awesome words and sass. I got up and had breakfast and then got my butt dressed, laundry put away, meat pulled out for dinner, dinner plan in my head and then back to projects. I've been painting the baronial arms back onto the friendship bench and I had gotten the base painting done on Saturday. Sunday I needed to draw things like Laurel leaves and boars heads and I used the Pennsic Traceable Art project to figure out sizing and then did some nuances. Got things traced on using the good old fashioned graphite transfer method and got to painting. I logged into the months A&S zoom for the kingdom and had a good time painting and chatting. Then I sat and watched TV with benton for a bit before hopping on to the West Kingdom Scribal. Dinner was tasty (honey garlic pork chops over rice) and it was nice to sit and paint and chat some more but I was tired so I logged off early.
Hands are doing better but I made sure to not over do it. I did one craft and then it be. We went to bed early-ish and that was okay too. I read a bit in my book (still on #3) and then crashed the heck out. It was a really good sleep but I did not want to be up and awake yet but here I am. Lots to do at work. I have a 3 day work week since Benton is off Thursday and Friday for Rodeo even thought the Rodeo is cancelled we still have the break Well it it wasn't the pandemic we would have been at Estrella so there is that as well.
Honestly this was the most relaxing February I've had...its so weird. But I will take a really relaxing and productive weekend.
