Dillon-Free Weekend Until Sunday...Is It Sunday Yet?
The day really seems to drag on. Only a few hours separate us from Friday and a few hours after that separate us from Friday workday to Friday weekend. But this Thursday is the slowest and least-busiest day of the week so far!
And to top it all off, my tummy now hurts. Like, the chili has expanded my stomach. I knew it would happen though. I love their chili. Hits the spot every time. And this weekend, we'll see how well I can recreate it.
I think with Walski going through the whole weight watcher's thing and plenty of groceries in our kitchen, I am eager to start cooking again. The past two Tuesdays, I've made cookies and I am not yet up to par on my legendary cookies. Takes time, especially since I've not baked cookies (like, the really good Kourt cookies) since, like, last time I lived at home or when I lived at my house. The problem is that I could live off of cookies. I hate candy. I don't do junk food. But I could survive happily off of chocolate chip cookies in any variety.
With the weather as it has been lately, I find myself very much homesick. This is an entry all in itself but I am starting to really long for home. I think that next weekend will curb some of that desire and I cannot wait!
With the weather, I am becoming cold more often which is strange. I hate being hot. Usually, I'm the kind of person who prefers the cold weather so I can cuddle and bundle and the sorts. But I find my fingers are ice more often then not these past few weeks. Maybe it is because of the internal temperature here at work and the fact that we have yet to turn any heat or a/c on in our house, letting it just be neutral. However, last night, I had to wash my TMNT comforter since the cat messed on it. When I pulled that sucker out of the dryer (the comforter, not the cat), I clung to that thing like crazy! It was so hot! I took it upstairs and huddled under it on my bed in a mound...and watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II (which is my least-favorite turtles movie but live-action ninja turtles none the less. It just is my 3rd favorite). It reminds me of times at my house when I would throw my pajamas and blankets and comforters into the dryer for a few minutes while I got ready for bed, and then, I'd bring it all into the bedroom, throw it onto the bed and climb in bed. Perfection! The hot blankets on top and the cold sheets below me. My puppy curling at my side and my cat near my pillow. I was safe and secure in my own house, in my own little world...I desperately miss that feeling.
Oh well. I need to get back to work. Maybe throw the stress ball around a little to wake myself. Hey! I have an orange, an apple AND the little red ball! I could juggle! Too bad I don't know how to juggle... I cannot wait for the weekend (& my paycheck!!!!)
