Crazy, busy week .....made worse by getting sick. Sat my younger son and I shopped, shopped, shopped.....between getting everything and getting it done by the 6pm closing deadline....it started the crazy. Sunday, I wanted to sleep in, but got up and started cooking as we were again on a timetable as we had Thunder tickets(basketball) and of course the turkey has to go in by 8am if it is coming out in time to eat and make the game. It was a lovely Thanksgiving dinner....enjoyed on Christmas. Waking up in the middle of the night to the smell of the ham baking is always so neat, its a tossup as to whether I'd rather smell that or pumpkin bread baking when awakening. The Thunder won their opening night game and I went to sleep feeling great.........
.........Only to awake at 6am to fever and chills and feeling bad.......by 9 it was pretty obvious that our Holiday dinner with friends was not to be. I spent a miserable day in bed...but by 9pm the fever was gone and while I felt like something the cat dragged in, I made it to work on Tues and out to dinner for my spouses birthday with the kids that night.
Wed was spent cooking, wrapping, and getting things together for the rescheduled Holiday party. A good time was had by all.......the only problem was the work end of the year stuff that I was supposed to do that day are still getting done.
Today felt like i was on a treadmill at work all day, you would think it was the last day of the year or something from the phone calls and faxes and people....uh maybe it is since we are closed tomorrow. Will have to finish some stuff in the morning that is left from Wed, but i am off this weekend and we are headed out of town tomorrow afternoon to go see Blake Shelton and then on sat Maroon 5. My kids turned down going and will be home and out with their friends. But usually we go out to dinner these 2 nights and I really didn't want to plan this weekend around that. yes we will be eating out but it will be a lot less "fancy" and should therefore be less interesting and i hope easier to be good......also I can get in some exercise i hope.
I finally got a chance to get on this computer tonight and found that I am ready to go on E2E. I'm planning to get that post up in the am before i get to work on work stuff if possible....and I should be able to get online while dh watches bowl games this weekend and catch up on everyone.
What a week, hopefully a more restful weekend and I'm looking forward to progress.
Oh yes there was one funny thing that happened due to a year of weight watching. I always make homemade rolls, and bread for TK and Christmas......so i get everything out to do so on Sunday......and no yeast. Now I always have yeast...its a pantry staple for me....but I haven't baked in a year. The nearest yeast on Sunday was 32 miles away......no homemade rolls/bread this year.
