Life: It Goes On - April 19

Happy Sunday! It's another chilly weekend here after a week with some very warm temps. I need to have the chilly days fall during the week and the warm days on the weekend! Although that would have tempted me to head to the nursery even sooner to start getting plants. This week, though, this week I'm going! The Big Guy is already resigned to the fact that the kitchen table may be covered with plants for a week or so while I wait for us to be closer to frost free. 

Struggling this week with energy, which is a good thing for my reading but a bad thing for everything that needs to be done around the house. I did end up working on taxes every night through Wednesday, battling through my dad's until the last minute. Strange to think that I won't have to do his any more, but tax time will be so much less stressful. 

Last Week I: 

Listened To: I finished The Guncle and started Jess Walter's So Far Gone. Next up I have Allen Levi's Theo of Golden.

Watched: The Voice, plenty of Nebraska softball and baseball, an episode of The Gentlemen, and the penultimate episode of season four of Bridgerton. I had really thought that I wouldn't watch season four, but desperate for something to watch one evening, when I had the television to myself and wanted something familiar, I started it. Of course, I had to finish it, which I'll do Wednesday when BG heads off to his weekly guys' night. 

Read: I finished Andrew Sean Greer's Less is Lost and I'm about halfway through Elise Meyer's That's A Good Question, I'd Love To Tell You. 

Made: Realized Monday that our food plans for the week started with meals that started with the letter "P" so I decided to see if we could go the whole week with main courses that started with "P." Pasta, potatoes baked, potatoes fried (we always bake and entire bag of potatoes at once), pad thai, and paninis. Last night I even had a pancake (sweet potato) when we went out to eat! 

Enjoyed: Dinner with old friends last night. Well, I should say we enjoyed the time with them, although the experience left something to be desired. Ever been to a restaurant that's essentially out of beer?

This Week I’m:  

Planning: Continue to have some paperwork that needs to be done, then the weather will determine what I work on for decluttering. Forty Bags In Forty Days flew by without my even starting it, but I'd still like to do it on my own - just need to figure out the starting date. 

Thinking About: What I want to do with plants outside this season. I've got some new planters that will need different things and some old ones that need to be tossed, so it will be fun to shop this year. 

Feeling: Worried. My old cat has been feeling so good these past few weeks and we had become certain that the problems she'd faced had been resolved. But the past few days, she's been having trouble again and I'm sure a visit to the vet is in our near future so see if we can get her back on track. 

Looking forward to: Headed out the door in a few minutes to have lunch with friends, then next weekend is our siblings dinner (not this weekend has I had thought). 

Question of the week: Are you a gardener? If so, food plants, flowers, or both? We will plant tomatoes, as always, but are thinking about other veggies we can try this year. Will probably try some beans but not sure what else.
