Life: It Goes On - March 30

Happy Sunday! You know that saying, "March come in like a lion and goes out like a lamb?" Well, we've had the exact opposite this month. Today is grey and cold and there is snow forecast for our area in the next couple of days. Think I'll be drinking a lot of hot coffee today. Mind you, Friday it was 81 degrees and we had dinner and drinks in short sleeves on the patio of a local brew pub. 

Bit of a strange week ahead for me: the Big Guy is doing a lot of traveling this week so it will largely be the cat and me, plus I'm taking care of Mini-him's and Miss C's cats while they are out of town for the next five days. I'm going to be a real cat lady! 

Last Week I: 

Listened To: Kaliane Bradley's The Ministry of Time. Really interesting premise. 

Watched: As much college basketball (men's and women's) as I could. Also a couple of episodes of Shrinking, which is just so very good. 

Read: The Little Village of Book Lovers by Nina George and Twist by Collum McCann. 

Made: This morning I made cheesecake French toast (delicious but very rich for breakfast!), a recipe I found on Facebook from Applesauceandadhd (she of the aggressive tutorials). 

Enjoyed: Last night I really wanted some good mozzarella sticks for supper. Off we went; first place was packed so we left and went to a second place which is NOT a place I wanted to go (and I was kind of a whiny baby about it). But BG was sure they would have mozzarella sticks so we ordered them and a pizza. When I tell you they were terrible, I am not exaggerating. Even BG wouldn't eat them; we left them on the table. About now you're wondering why I enjoyed this, right? Here's why: when I fall into a mood like I was in at that point, I'm typically irretrievable. But last night I was able to enjoy everything else about the dinner and laugh about how horrible the mozzarella sticks were. I was glad I was able to come home in a good mood and enjoy the rest of my evening and I was proud of myself for not wallowing. 

I do still want good mozzarella sticks.

This Week I’m:  

Planning: I'm still way behind on 40 Bags. Part of the reason is because I've been working hard on clearing out spaces in the past few months so a lot of places have already been gone through. But this week, I'm bound and determined to get to the basement, which always needs more decluttering. The woman who started this considers it part of the sacrifice of Lent; I don't agree. I'm not sacrificing anything; this is for me. But it times up well with Lent and I'm always in the mood to declutter this time of year, so I join up. 

Thinking About: What to watch while I have the t.v. to myself so much of this week. It's definitely time for another viewing of Hamilton. 

Feeling: Pretty blue about the state of our democracy. 

Looking forward to: Once Mini-him and Miss C return from their trip, Mini-him will take off on some work travel. Since Miss C and I will both be without our guys, we're planning on doing a lunch or dinner and some shopping, a first for us. I can't wait. 

Question of the week: If you got to choose what to watch, without having to consult a significant other, what would you choose?
