First, I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you for your kind words on Friday when I showed my heart and talked about my week. Friday was a much better day and I know it starts with me. I need to practice self-care and boundaries so that I can give 100% at work. There was a lot of good in last week, too, but I kind of let the little things get to me.
With that being said, pray for teachers today with Halloween on a Monday and the day after Halloween hangover!
I am linking up with Holly and Sarah to talk about my weekend - the last of October. Tomorrow is already November and Prime Purchases day with Tanya!
Let's go back to Friday. After school, I enjoyed a fall walk with Ernie. Look at all of these leaves!
For dinner, Tom and I had pizza - he had lunch leftover and Totino's and I had skinny!
Mine:
His:
I was in bed by 9:00! I was wiped out!
That meant I was up and at 'em early on Saturday and made some components of one of my lunches this week - Erica requested the breakfast bowl again.
Here was my Saturday breakfasst:
I ran to the library and to two stores and then we took the boat out for lunch.
Elizabeth came, but her fiance wasn't able to make it.
I had a really good cheeseburger without the bun and a few fries!
We got home around 4 and I showered and napped a bit. Tom was still full from lunch and his snacks when we got home, but I made a piece of avocado toast for my dinner.
Then, we went to jump the college kids' car. It wouldn't start Saturday. We were headed there anyway to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Mason was a member of the shadow cast. They played the movie while the actors acted it out. I had never gone to a showing/performance before.
They put a V on my forehead since I hadn't seen it before. I knew what it was, of course.
Jack came with us. It was really fun! I can't believe I made it for such a late performance!
Both kids had decided to come home just for the night and Tom thought having the car at home in case it wouldn't start again would be good. Tom drove it home and I stayed for the clean up that the cast had to do. Then, the kids and I hit up Taco Bell at 11:30. I had not done this since maybe 1996?
Mexican Pizza, baby! Without the meat! My roommate Heather is a vegetarian and she taught me this method. I wish I could tell you how many of these we ate together!
Pray for my stomach!
It was supposed to be raining when I got up at 8:00 - yes I majorly slept in for me - but it wasn't, so I enoyed my patio lights with my coffee.
Ernie waiting for his Daddy!
This book really is awkward. I'm enjoying it, but I guess I should have listened to the title. The main character has pet hamsters that are talked about way too much. She is very quirky.
A completed lunch of a breakfast bowl:
I also made two Kodiak pancakes for our "dessert" at lunch tomorrow. We are both trying to avoid the Halloween candy that is everywhere at school right now.
I made myself an omelette and turkey bacon with all the vegetables from the bowl.
And, then I ran to Kroger to get a couple of things for the week.
Jack had a choir concert at 3:00 at a church near campus. There are benefits to going to college close to home for both the kids and the parents. Since they are living on campus they are getting the best of both worlds - I hope. I do wonder if they will regret not going farther away, but given the timing of the start of their college career, it has played out nicely. They left for college in August of 2020 and got to live on campus with a few adjustments. They couldn't visit other dorms, had to mask, had to test, some classes were online. But, for the most part their college really handled the situation well.
