It's Friday, and I have no idea where this week went. I was constantly running from work to doctor's appointments to dentist appointments and back to work. I dealt with Halloween costumes and Storybook Parade costumes and somehow did too much grocery shopping (I checked myself and I went to the grocery twice, plus the new organic grocery, plus Costco which we all know is an expensive trip). I now need to meal plan AROUND my grocery shopping so I'm not shopping for the next week at least. I know ham steak and green beans, Brazilian shrimp stew, and chicken soup will be on the menu. Crispy chicken thighs with wilted spinach. Taco salads.
I was supposed to be out of town next week for work, so I kind of got on a frenzy this week so that I would be ready, and then Wednesday afternoon the case resolved so I'm home for the month. I'm glad that I'm not traveling, but it becomes something of a letdown when I've psyched myself up for the alone time. Not that I *need* the alone time, but the only way to get excited about living out of a suitcase for a week by myself is to psyche myself up about the things I get to do in my downtime, non-working time. See a movie! (even though I'm not a theater person) Do yoga in my hotel room! (even though I could easily do that in my bedroom) Read at a restaurant! (honestly, when am I not reading?)
I started a new book club, within the group of my local chapter of Murderinos. I'm super excited. I think our first book will be Fatal Vision, with supplemental reading of The Journalist and the Murderer.
So what's going on for you?
