This and That Weekend Recap

Happy Monday you fine folks!  I hope you had a great weekend!

At the end of last week, we blew through the final season of Grace and Frankie in two days which was pretty easy with 30-minute episodes.  Sigh.  It was okay and better than previous seasons but not a super satisfying ending on our end.  I feel they missed a real opportunity not to cast Dolly Parton in the role of Taneth played by Casey Wilson.  It would have essentially amounted to a cameo.  I know they're going to be together in the 9 to 5 movie but let's be honest, at their ages, the contracts can be signed but only the universe gets to decide if they'll get the band back together again.  These movies are delayed all of the time and I think the five minutes of screen time would've been well worth it.  But, what do I know?

The Mr's work decided to push an update to refuse to let Apple watches pair with their work phones, basically bricking his $400 less than a year old purchase.  He used it to track his heart health and would run EKG's on it.  They won't make medical exceptions so he got screwed.  I was ticked because I just bought him a new dressy band for it for Christmas that he got to wear once.  I sent out an email to family/friends seeing if anyone wanted to buy it and an old co-worker said her hubby would take it.  So $250 later and he's at a $250 loss for the watch and accessories.   I feared that would happen and the morning it happened I even had the thought about what would he do if they ever took that option away...two hours later.  Must've gotten a "new CIO douchecanoe" vibe in the air.
Then, of course, because of the way it was wiped without permission, there were issues with the new owner being able to use it.  So for any of you Apple watch owners out there, if you sell yours, you have to go through a bunch of steps before you wipe it to make useable for the next owner.

Saturday, the Mr took his test and passed!  Thanks for all of the good vibes!

We swung by Walmart to grab some MCT Oil Powder.  I got some a few weeks ago when we were there on a whim and have been using it for creamer in my tea.  It made me a little more regular which I'm sure will stop now that I've said it out loud.  

We grabbed lunch then went out to get some stuff we needed.  We found ourselves close to a pet store and stopped in for some puppy time.  Instead, we got a ball of lightning that wanted nothing to do with us.

We went out to a fancy dinner to celebrate and upon our return, the Mr binged The Mandalorian since it was his treat for passing.  We'll watch the rest of The World According to Jeff Goldblum and cancel our Disney + subscription because there's nothing else on there we're interested in.  

Sunday I went down to switch clothes and saw it was spitting a few flurries but that lasted about 10 minutes if that.  I plugged in the tree to pretend it was actually winter.  Oh, wait.  In a further attempt to pretend it's winter, I made grilled cheese and soup for lunch.

We watched a few episodes of Jeff Goldblum's show before heading down to have our butts handed to us from Joel and Autumn.  L4 Full Body HIIT then Dirty 30, physical therapy and rolling/stretching.  We were done by 5ish which is when we're usually heading down.  We needed to pick up a few things at the store for the week and we got to enjoy a nice little spittle of steady snow on the way in.  For the 40th time, I picked this up.

I've always wanted to make "scrambled eggs" and said I was going to and had until March to do it.  The Mr gave me a sideways glance that said, "I'll be throwing this away again in March."  Internally, I accepted it as a challenge.  I asked him if he wanted breakfast for dinner because the mahi I had thawing just didn't sound good.  Because I watched a recipe with Ina Garten making her bran blueberry muffins, I got both of those things.  I thought I'd mix 'em in with some oat flour and make blueberry oat pancakes and a tofu scramble.

I was sad I needed to use a little salt to finally make them taste good but was still happy with them and am bummed I wasted so much tofu in the past.  I will definitely be making both in the future!

We got in a few more episodes of

Then we enjoyed a warm beverage before calling it a night to gear up for the adventure that is Monday!

What did y'all do this weekend?
