Life: It Goes On - April 6

Happy Sunday! I'm going to type this quickly because I have a lot of eating to get to today - late breakfast with my dad, late lunch with Miss C and then I need to get a welcome home dinner ready for the Big Guy, who's been out of town for four days. 

Not gonna lie, I've kind of enjoyed having the house to myself for the past four days - I've watched what I've wanted on t.v., eaten what I wanted when I wanted, done nothing or gone like a whirling dervish without concern that I was bothering anyone. But the poor cat has been so confused; she has hardly left my side the entire time and hasn't been eating so she'll for sure be happy to have him home! 

Last Week I: 

Listened To: I tried listening to F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is The Night but it just wasn't working for me (I think in print I'll enjoy it) so I switched to Lucy Foley's The Paris Apartment and I'm a little more than half way through that. 

Watched: As much basketball as I could, including the national high school girls championship game. Mini-him's company installed the scoreboards in the gym where the high school championships were being held and he was there to rep the company and be on hand if there were any issues. So proud of him for being the go-to guy who can solve both the physical but also the programming problems AND be a person that a company wants interacting with customers. 

Read: Finished Nina George's The Little Village of Booklovers, which is April's book club selection. 

Made: Really, really very little - tuna salad, grilled cheese, some pasta. When I'm eating alone, I tend to eat like a 15-year-old. 

Enjoyed: I binged the entire series of Shonda Rhimes' The Residence and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was just the thing to watch when I was in the house by myself and didn't want anything too intense.

This Week I’m:  

Planning: This week is going to be all about finishing up taxes. I hate doing them and have to do them for us, my dad, and Miss H, so I tend to put them off. 

Thinking About: As part of 40 Bags, this week I've been working on organizing photos and memorabilia. It certainly has me remembering so many wonderful things that have happened in our lives.

Feeling: Hopeful after being one of 5.2 million people across the country who protested in an effort to save democracy. Omaha had a really great turnout; this picture represents about half of what was on the hill in the park and doesn't include all of the people lining the street the park is on or the walkway over that street. 

Looking forward to: Getting these taxes behind me so that I can focus on getting back to a final push on 40 Bags. Time to get to the basement, where there will certainly still be a lot to get rid of. 

Question of the week: What have you been watching on t.v. or streaming services that might be great for me to watch the next time BG is out of town? We have a lot of things we watch together, but there are things that I just know I'll enjoy more than he will and I prefer to watch those by myself.
