I was actually looking forward to a normal week with work,
swimming and a weekend at home. Randy and Josh moved out on Monday and a new
cubie mate arrived – Bethany, another accountant. I trained 2 afternoons and
was busy so the week was flying by. Andrea called Wednesday night to remind me
that I needed to feed her chickens while she was away for a long weekend. After
some back and forth calls, we made plans to meet at lunch on Thursday so she
could give me a key.
Before I’d gotten Andrea’s reminder about feeding her
chickens, I’d made plans to meet Darla for breakfast at Cook’s in Lincoln at
7:00 a.m. Friday morning. That meant I had to be feeding chickens at 6:00 and
on the road by 6:15. I was actually ahead of schedule so food shopped before
meeting Darla for a lovely breakfast. Darla’s the only person I’d meet so early
and she’s totally worth it. I had a nice lunch with Layton at the Chinese
buffet and swam after work. Finally it was the weekend. Unfortunately I had a
Friends of the Library meeting at 9:30 Saturday so spent Friday night doing six
months of treasurer’s reports since I hadn’t done one since September. Sheesh.
I was missing a bank statement, having been given the
Foundation’s instead of Friends’ for one month, so called the bank first thing
and ran down there to pick up the statement after feeding the chickens. I got 5
gorgeous, fresh eggs and ran home to finish my reports and be back at the
library by 9:30. Once I got home from the library, I stayed home. It was a raw,
rainy day and it was nice to be cozy inside. I started my chores and had them
mostly done by the end of the day. I had Saturday snack supper and went to bed
early.
I woke up at the crack of dawn on Sunday so decided to get
dressed and head out. I fed the chickens, picked up a newspaper and was home
and back in my pajamas eating an omelet with one of Drae’s eggs by 6:30. I was
gone and back so fast that it felt like it never happened so it finally had my
morning in jammies until noon. After grabbing lunch, I cleaned out my car and
picked up Lorri for yet another plant run, this time to From the Ground Up. It’s
my fave greenhouse and we go every year. It’s not particularly cheap but it’s locally
owned and all of the plants are in pristine condition. Two flats later and I
was back home drinking tea because it was another raw day, although not raining
as steadily. Then the cooking began. I made a big pot of beef barley soup for
lunches and made sautéed pork and leeks over quinoa with goat cheese on top for
suppers. Then I put salsa pork in the crockpot for my boss, whose husband
trashed his leg in a biking accident and is completely disabled for 10 weeks so
can’t cook. I was ready for the week. All good.
