Did I accomplish anything this weekend?
Oct. 30th, 2023 01:59 pmI not even sure other than having a good time, relaxing, spending time with friends and chilling out with watching Ghost Hunters on Disney +. It was nice though I about had some bad words with one of our sister divisions and their factory manager who is clueless. It was nuts and its Monday afternoon and no response to my very carefully edited/curated email response. Sighs.
But I worked Thursday, had my ass kicked at PT and relaxed watching tv with the cats. Friday was work from home and try not to kill that manager in Texas. Then I texted ari and found out we were both alone for the weekend and I said we needed to do BFF dinner and parallel play. We headed to BJs and got to watch some of the Diamondbacks playing in the World Series Game 1 which went to 11 innings! They lost by 1. We headed to my house during the 4th inning to knit and watched the Grey Man. OMG. Chris Evans is loving his villian era and Ryan Gosling...OMW. So much snark and sass and nice fight scenes. I got into the decreases of my hat which is awesome but didn't knit past that night. Oh well. :)
Saturday I lazed a bit with lots of snuggles from Spicy. She loved that I was under a blanket on the couch...she had biscuit factory time. Then I got dressed up in a psuedo cottage core outfit with my run underwear, corset, german house frau shirt, dance skirt, linen apron and had my hair up in two space buns with flowers. Its super fun but I'm out of practice wearing a corset. I headed to Grandma's Spinning Wheel for their 16th Anniversary special day. I got some fiber from Cassie and Jess's hands. I hope to get my wheel up and running to help with my PT. The ankle is feeling better.
It was comfy but after sitting for a while I was not. Its not made to me its OTS but still was cute and worked for my intent. Angi also dressed as her wizard. I played Cami (the i has a heart for the dot) Bramblecliff a halfling wild magic sorcerer who is a baker. Erika had set up a fun adventure where a pop up goblin market holds a "Blink Dog Catch" contest. There is a prize which you found out at the end what it was. But it was fun. We had all cool concepts: CJ was a forest gnome, Ari was a Tebexi dog catcher, Nico was a war cleric, Dom was an artificer, Angie was a wizard. There was lots of fun and peopel getting hit by sleep spells (Ari) or getting hit by some of the crazy that the dog could do (allergic hair, bellows etc). I used my cantrips well and almost got the dog but Angie swooped in and picked it up and put it on the table. I twas a big loveable pug type and was in reality a construct with a 16 intell and could cast spells like "counterspell" which made me not light people on fire. (darn). BUt we had fun. Willa made nachos (with DF options for me) and there was a great chocolate cherry cheesecake (DF) for dessert.
Got home and had a beer with the kitties and finished watching "My Ghost Story" on Disney + and started in on Ghost Hunters. I played on my phone and relaxed. Spicy was super cute and more cuddly. Benton won 3rd place at the tourney which made me so happy for him.
Sunday I slept in, got a good ritual shower and then headed to give blood. Then I went to Trader Joes and back home to relax. I got somethings picked up (the pile of mail on the piano), the trash, recycles and cat box dealt with. I then I made a new to me dish: Air Fryer Wonton Pizza Rolls. So take a wonton wrapper, rub some olive or avacado oil on it, add a dollop of pizza sauce (I made it with a can of sauce, lots of spices, sugar, including lots of chili flakes etc), add a pepperoni and a smidge of cheese. Fold it, since mine were vegan I did diagonal tucks and then smoothed them down. Put in air fryer at 375 for 6 mins adn then shake to flip and 4-5 more minutes. There were tasty...yes needed more cheese, but vegan shreds can be odd I pay try a softer cheese next time. But tasty and crispy and salty. I liked it. Mel really liked the sauce. I had them ready when the boys got home from Cali. I will make them again and make some not dairyfree. But I really liked the sauce I made. I will do that again but cook it down further to make it thicker. I think that would help as well. But for the first time experiment it was good. And not too bad for us either.
So it was a nice relaxing weekend. I did not finish my book or my knitting but it was okay. I rested, had fun and spent time with friends.
I had a a dentist appt today and drove the car. The ankle wasn't happy so I will still have to wait on that for a bit but it means I really need to work on the pushing strength needed for holding down the clutch. But at least I drove and it was okayish. I could not do that a month ago.
So there we are...weekend wrapped up and the end of the work day. Time to carve some pumpkins.
