dchenesLONG week last week, too. I got to Friday despite the CODA meeting, another couple of meetings with and/or about the second year students, and a chorus rehearsal. I was going to go home and have a takeout-and-football night on Friday, but I finally decided I didn't want the entire week to be work, chorus rehearsal and home. So I took myself out to Alden & Harlow instead and had steak and porter and pistachio cake. The food was good, but the room is loud when there are that many people in it.
Saturday I didn't do much of anything, except grocery shopping and I didn't do that until 6:00. But when I did go grocery shopping, I bought a lot of vegetables and stewed them today so I can have stewed vegetables and tomato couscous for lunch this week. I can't stand any more lunch meetings with pizza or sandwiches. I ordered soup and salad for the CODA meeting on Friday and actually ate soup with lentils and chemically hot stuff in it because it wasn't sandwiches or pizza. (You get the Soup of the Day for the day you want it, so you don't know what it will be. This time it was lentil, barley, and hot curry powder.)
Today I did in fact get my act together before lunch, in consequence of which I have a genteel sufficiency of kitty litter and a rack full of wet laundry in addition to the stewed vegetables. I still want to make another round of frittatas, but I can't decide what kind. Smoked salmon and scallions sounds good, but it's 8:30 on Sunday night and I don't want to start cooking again now.
As of today I also have an idea of exactly how much simultaneous bilateral pectoral muscle spasms suck. (Very much indeed, in case you didn't know that.)
Speaking of cooking, or not, last night we had major teamwork going on. Snip found a grillionpede somewhere and played hockey with it until she got it into the living room, at which point Lily took over, stomped on it and ate it. Snip has very definite ideas about what is and is not edible, and apparently grillionpedes are not edible. Lily, on the other hand, will try anything once, and even if she thinks it's disgusting, she'll keep begging for it. Silly beast.
