quiet Friday night with T at the house
T is preparing to leave for Asia in the morning, and we're getting some gentle rain from the outskirts of Ian. I was tired from a day filled with meetings at the office, after running three miles, but I went ahead and cooked dinner because I figured it would take longer for a delivery meal, and cooking would be healthier. We had a bottle of red while waiting for the food -- vegetarian pasta in red sauce -- and during the meal.
It doesn't look like we'll get heavy rain here, but we may get a long period of light rain that adds up to a few inches over the next few days. I'm presuming at this point that K will want to hang out at the condo together from midday Saturday until Monday morning, then I'll come back to the house for a half-day of working remotely.
Then I'll have a couple weeks of having the house to myself! I've been too busy with work, K, and T, to even think about planning any social events after the two of them leave town. B asked me about going to a soccer game with him but I said I can't plan ahead yet. I'd told people about an October Game Day but I'm not ready to schedule it yet, estimating the number of people to invite and tracking their intentions is a fair amount of work, and right now I'm feeling worn out. I expect I'll feel more energy in the morning about spending the weekend with K :-)
But after these two men leave I'll want to prioritize one-on-one time with Ben -- we never did get a makeup session from when he was sick and had to cancel. Also, my sister had invited me to visit on an October weekend. Again, I'll wait until these two men are gone before I plan anything social with anybody else. But I think Ben will be #1 and then my sister will be #2.
Running this morning was great, I'm so happy the weather is cooler now! I will also start prioritizing running farther distances, I want to run a 10K while the weather is cooler. I want to get back into pre-pandemic running shape before it gets humid again next year -- which means long runs on the weekends again. So -- 4 miles next weekend?
T has been having waves of stress about his travel -- getting all his documents ready, packing everything he'll need for two weeks. That's also been a bit draining for me -- it's why I'm here at the house making dinner and chillin' tonight instead of spending another Friday night at the condo with K. Though maybe K has other plans for tonight anyway, I dunno, he and I have both been busy with work this week and haven't chatted much.
Work is draining but not stressful -- no back pain or such. I hope it remains this way -- I can't stop the busy factor until at least November, but maybe I can avoid the stress factor and get enough exercise and sleep.
