Good Monday morning to you! Ready for a new week? Me either but here it is.
We didn't do much. Tried a new to us biscuit place that was meh. If biscuits are your business, there's no excuse for them to be dry and crumbly especially within an hour after you open. Even gravy couldn't save the Mr's biscuit but he seemed to like his though. We went for a drive but it was raining and on the way home people were insane. It seems like as much as it sucks being cooped up, it sucks equally going out and dealing with people's stupidity. Sadly, I know of 3 people who are fully vaxxed and sick with Covid for 2 full weeks so far with no letting up. I'm really worried about my friend because he's got every pre-existing condition you could have that isn't good and I'm not ready to honor his request of dumping his ashes at a particular beach on the downlow. So glad we didn't get into that mentality of "we're vaxxed! Burn the masks!" Not that two of them did but one was like "I'm hot" at his new job and didn't wear it anymore and that was that then gave it to my friend when he came home every night. Sigh.
We watched more Ghost Adventures out of desperation for something to watch than I care to admit and two of us started watching The Monster Squad Saturday night but only one of us was awake halfway through. 😏
Sunday morning we watched some Bob Barker era TPIR on Pluto TV until 11am. I made brunch of an omelet, whole grain toast and half a sweet potato. By then the rain had moved past and we thought a walk around Grandma's place would be good but it was humid when the wind wasn't blowing which was about 50% of the time.

We had some old people conversations so it wasn't the most mentally relaxing of walks but it made the time go faster if nothing else. When we got home, we both showered because we were gross messes but it was nice to have it out of the way by 4pm and got in our first 3+ miler there. I did get a little bit of the living room picked up and put away a mountain of clothes in the bedroom. Baby steps.
Last night after the walk and such, I threw a steak on the grill, FINALLY used the air fryer my MIL gave us like a month or so ago for baked potatoes and green beans.
We settled in for some Renovation Island (or Island of Bryan for you Canucks) and chilled the rest of the evening. Not a super eventful few days but there it is.
What did you get into this weekend?

I was surprised how dry those biscuits were even with gravy all over them. It's all too common anymore for a place to tout something, like biscuits, in their name and not live up to it. Why is that so hard anyway? Ugh. Really tired this morning but that gets me fired up!
ReplyDeleteHeck, when even the Loveless Cafe who are famous for their biscuits were dry- I gave up!
DeleteI love my air fryer way more than I thought I would. I was afraid it was going to be another appliance that just sat there and made me feel guilty (yes, you, Instant Pot) but I actually use it about once a week which is more than most things.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend was pretty meh around here too. Visited my folks and kiddo had some medical checkups in their town Thurs & Fri and then come home Saturday and pretty much sat on my butt the rest of the time. Today, I had the oil changed in my car first thing (oh the excitement of it all) and now I have to tackled another chunk of my deep clean/declutter project. I think I'm going to finish the kitchen today since I started it last week but it's out of control with thing piled everywhere in there.
Ooh, that's promising! I'll have to look up more recipes to see what I can use it for. I have a ginormous sweet potato that'll probably be next.
DeleteGreat job on decluttering! Hope everyone is okay.
Busy weekend with work stuff and computer time. Now that I've hit "buy" on the sideboard (thank you very much!), I'm going to make a couple of inquiries for tree service with two places a friend gave me company names. That same friend was in a nasty car accident just a couple of blocks from her home yesterday and said her car is totaled. Amazing that she's doing as well as she is (bp was 128/70 at the scene!) considering she just turned 70. This morning was errands after work, card writing and dinner prep. Very busy week with appts through next Monday so I suspect I'll feel a bit harried all week.
ReplyDeleteYAY!! Make sure you send a pic when it comes in! I hope your friend is okay and all goes well with the appts!
DeleteLots of cleaning and meal prepping. A break to squeeze into my swimsuit to take my daughter to her swim class where she preceded to flirt with the instructor. She's 19 months old and I swear she was batting her eyelashes at him. Found out hubby's vacation got approved so I can start booking things. Yay!
ReplyDeleteAww, I bet that was a sight to see! :-) Hurray for vacation! I hope you guys have an awesome time! Any ideas where you're going yet?
