W W W
Since last week, Blogger fixed my Reader List issue, so that is a good thing. Remember Martha Stewart used to have that as a tagline, "A Good Thing". I remember the Saturday Night Live skits about her shows that wasn't particularly funny, but in my head whenever I type "good thing" I think of those silly skit.
Here's the W's of my life for this week.
What's top of mind: Well, work reinstated the mask mandate inside the building. I wasn't surprised. That made more folk want to reduce office days even more than they had planned. We have rumor's of two possible locations hat we are moving to in January. No one shared the source or validity, but see reasonable, and both OK options for me. I think the commute wouldn't be much different, perhaps a tad shorter. The buildings are both nice and parking would till be free. What's really on my mind though is having two weeks off work!
Where I've been: Meals out, trivia, and walks with pup have been part of my goings this week. Our park had a police car, ambulance, and fire engine for National Night Out. Pup stole some of the thunder and the little kids wanted to pet the fully guy-who will be less than fluffy in a week.
Where I'm going: I was going to head to the office to pack up my personal stuff, and relocate files to a central area. DD2 suggested we do her last week and she can help, plus we can get our "city" errands run. Smart kid. We're going to the lake Sunday for birthdays, coming home, but then will be back up there for several days and have friends coming a tthe end of the week. Will I go grocery shopping? Probably at some point.
What I'm reading: I started The Day Before Winter since it resurfaced without purging. It's the last of the Bennett's ISland books by Elizabeth Ogilvie.
What I'm listening to: I tended to have Olympic news on in the background when not in meetings. It has been fun, but I'm ready to move on after the weekend. Winter games are scheduled for February. Does anyone know if they are still a go yet?
What I've been watching: I'm still watching a lot of the Olympic Games, and this week, Track and field and volleyball is coming to a close. I swa Ashes to Ashes, the follow-up series to Life on Mars is on Brit Box. I don't remember if I saw it before or not. That might be on my weekend schedule, depending on weather.
What I'm eating: I'm still eating down what we have on hand. I've made several of the meal plan items-stuffed shells, goulash, abd taco night. tonight maybe just ald and a take and bake pizza though. We used the fruit DD2 brought home on some smoothies and snacking, but learned kiwi does not make a good smoothie-or at least not to our taste.
Who I'm paying attention to: I'm following Florida and the political verbal spewing by their governor who will not take any responsibility for the surge in hospitalizations when his demands are so anti CDC guidelines. I'm sorry Florida, but you all know what you can do next year! I will never understand anyone using the the pandemic as a political hill to die on. Don't we want everyone healthy and safe? How can you ignore people dying in hospitals 18 months after all we have all experienced.
What I'm planning: I'm planning to bake the Nothing Bundt copycat and a blueberry pie tomorrow. I hope both turn out well for the birthday celebrants. I'm also planning to get ready to paint, and use items already in my house. I know you are all sick of this topic, but I am so excited to make this a reality.
What's Making Me Smile: The thought of time off work and knowing there should not be anything so urgent these two weeks to disrupt my time. I had check-ins with all my direct reports and my boss and peers and things should be covered. I will say that again-things are covered.
We finally got a bit of rain! Not the soaking rain we really need, but something to clear the air. There were a many thunderstorms, so hoping that didn't also spark any fires from lightning anywhere. I guess that storm system is going to pop up and around the next two days as well. I won't mind more rain at all over the weekend. Play along! What's going on in your life this week?
