The week that was....
Nov. 4th, 2024 10:52 amWork was work and frustration. I think that is all I can say.
I did make yoga and knitting and that was nice. I've now stuffed teh pumpkin part way and am slowly decreasing it down but its hard to do with the stuffing. But I should finish that this week.
Thursday I was able to leave work before time and had OT which was okay. Got home and Benton wanted to carve two more pumpkins which we did have time for. He got one of the bumpy ones done and a tiny one that he made look like the one stitch carves with his ray gun.
We got to Mary and Andrew's and I got handed a Moxie and Rum by Andrew who I had found out that day is retiring on the 8th. Work has fed him up and he's done. Mary has a good job and insurance and he may do some side work for some other friends who had left the company.
We had a really nice time walking and getting the kids around Civano. We put in a few miles and the kids made bank on candy. I was happy my Beetlejuice dress fit and I got lots of compliments during the day on it at work. I even did my makeup for spookieness. Mel came along and we were all glad it had cooled down and got our jackets out for the walk. Benton wore his mask and coat he had from the other dance last semester. So he was set. We had exactly 2 trick'r'treaters who when they tried to ring the bell pushed on the camera. Lol but they got candy from the bin we left out.
Got home with time to unwind and have a beer before bed. We slept in a bit for Friday and I got us burritos when I got the boy to school. I sat and watched movies and knit and played games on my phone. And was tired. I almost took a nap. I probably should have. I did a few errands and then ran up to maguires to get the ring and pendant. The chain was on order to get delivered that day. I cried when I saw them. I really didn't realize how pretty they were going to be. And how big the ring is. Its really a cocktail statement piece. wow. That's okay.
Oh the way home, I thought I was being emotional and my nose kept running. By the time I drove the 45 mins home I was was not feeling well. Had dinner with the boys and then made the executive decision to hit bed early and try to sleep off the suck. Well, I did sleep it better but not perfect and I texted Willa that I was still a snot monster at 615am to then go back to sleep until almost 11am. 13+ hours of sleep. I took things slow and laid down in the afternoon, didn't nap but rested reading. Managed to have dinner and planned to go to bed early but my brain turned on. sighs. I fell asleep fully by 3am. Oof.
But it was okay sleep. I got up and had breakfast and then after puttering on my phone I got a good hot shower, nettie potted my nose and felt tons better. I felt well enough to hit my hair appt and to pick up scrips at the pharmacy. Then it was home to relax a bit now armed with sudafed to Wander's dinner. The sudafed hit the last of the congestion out my head and I felt normal. We had a nice dinner and good conversations. We came home and Benton get into his night time routine and Mel and I chilled on the couch. I went to be at a reasonable hour but slept fitfully after 130 am. I'm sure I was anxious that Mel get on his flight okay (work trip to Florida this week, yuck). Anxious for Monday? Who knows. He got up for his flight and I dozed until my alarm. I got up and enjoyed a cuppa in peace and quiet before getting Benton up for School.
I've been doing laundry between meetings and getting things back to rights after my neglect of the last few weeks. I have to clean things up and get ready for Melee camp this weekend. My goal is to pack my clothes tonight, get the house picked up tomorrow. Benton needs to put his laundry away and find the other two tunics I bought him. Sighs. That room is a disaster. I need to text our house cleaners since I would like it cleaned soon hopefully next week? They didn't come in October which is sucky.
So Mel comes home On Thursday afternoon, we were supposed to get on site Thursday with the household trailer but now its Friday after I drop benton at school. I will have to come back to get him and then drive back to Sonoita. So fun times.
I also have a work offsite Thursday which I will have to go to and then leave early to pick him up from school. Which is slightly before Mel gets home. I've got meat thawing to start making a venison/beef chilli for tomorrow night. Let it cook over night. Busy week.
