These last couple mornings I have slept in. Now many people might not view 7:00 AM as sleeping in, but when you’re normally up in the 5:00 hour it is. I feel like I am starting my day all weird and out of sorts. After I finish this I have to go do my visits and then to do my work, if I want.
This week is a bit of a weird one. Not every day is a holiday but enough days or that not many people are going to be working. I still need to get something up on our social media. Especially because that is a thing that is expected.
Now I find myself at a loss as to what to write. No one wants to hear me ramble about what I might or might not do today. It is difficult to try and write something every day for a set amount of time. It is a good exercise to get the brain functioning, but I’m not certain my brain ever functions.
There is a lot that could be happening this week, but most of it is going to be focused on spending time with family. We still have to get the normal activities of the day finished before that can happen. The kids being home changes things. It changes a lot, and hopefully they don’t get too out of rhythm before it is time to go back to school.
This week is going to feel like an eternity. So much of it is haphazard. We have concept of plans but no firm foundation. We know we’re having dinner with my mother and sister on the 24th, but no idea of what we’re doing. Normally I would have called my dad about a month ago and we would have put everything together.
The church and work schedule make things difficult. We have to have a meal that can be put together in about thirty minutes to an hour and nothing more. A good old fashioned home cooked meal sounds like a great idea.
Even though we’re going to have seven people six of them are small or picky eaters. It means the prime directive should be to just get a meal together. I haven’t had my mac and cheese in forever and that sounds like a great side. I wanted to do a ham but all the ones I’ve seen are both too big and too expensive. I will pick something tomorrow when I go to the store.
Hopefully it isn’t too crowded as we need to get regular groceries as well. This is all a whole thing every time. I feel like the only person that still has to do regular grocery shopping on holiday weeks. Thanksgiving was wild in the grocery store and this Tuesday probably will be as well.
