That's Not What He Got Weekend Recap

Good Monday morning to you!  I hope your weekend was slow and your coffee /tea is strong to start another week.  Last week the poor Mr was run through it at work.  Every single day was call after call, new stuff piled on (which he's fine with but never happens in a dump like this) and a new boss was named so that's always an interesting thing to contend with even if you know them.  (I've seen people go from perfectly fine to ripping off their face to reveal a reptilian creature underneath V style so I'm hoping that's not the case for the Mr.)  All he wanted was a nice relaxing weekend to recoup from it all. That's not what he got. It seemed to start off fine with him suggesting a soul food place and their website was all messed up so we couldn't really place an order.  He called saying their site says they're out of a ton of crap and the guy said they weren't so we thought that meant they were turning on the site.  It's not on our side of town s...

What I'm Reading This Week #48

Happy Black Friday!  Are some of you out with the masses shopping?  Watching football?  Jonesing for a turkey sammich?  Thanksgiving was a low-key blur here.  It was hard to get jacked up for it with the whirlwind that was the last two weeks on the bathroom front.  It felt like suddenly it was here and there was no build up, more like another thing to fit in.  Not quite how I wanted to roll into the holidays but I'll tell you one thing, all yearly projects must be started in March-May because anything later and it seems to bleed into the Fall and beyond.  I'm tired of feeling unprepared for the holidays the last few years.  I guess I'm thankful for the late thanksgiving this year or we'd have been in the thick of it.  I also know late thanksgiving year's means Christmas barrels at you at warp speed so buckle up buttercups!

Now let's get to:



What Do Compression Socks Actually Do for Your Workouts?  (I have about 10 pairs.  These are good starter pairs for plus size.)

Gut Health Products Have Taken Over the Supermarket. Are They Making Us Any Healthier?  (My gynie has me on some but I seriously wonder if they're worth the headache as I've not seen any difference)

3 Questions to Ask Yourself When Things Go Wrong  (Definitely good to remember and practice)

7 Delicious, Filling, and Non-Boring Ways to Use Oats  (I'm always down to zhuzh up the oats but I'm not up for savory)

When Meditation Backfires: A Journey to Stress-Free Living  (I am so not in a place where meditation works for me yet)

All the Home Maintenance Tasks You Should Tackle in November  (It's a little late but better to do it now so you don't regret it later.)


We Tested Over 300 Toys to Find Our 2024 Best Toy Award Winners  (No clue if this is accurate but passing it on for people with  kids/grandkids to shop for)


  
Six Chicago restaurant closures you should know about  (Sigh...RIP to one of our favorite Chicago sweet stops.)

We're hoping to just chill and finish up leftovers.  I want this weekend to breathe for once and have no real plans.  My friend is in town but I'm playing it by ear.  If I don't feel like doing something, I'm not going to do it.  I've run myself so ragged that I may just say maybe next time.

How was your holiday if you celebrated and anything on tap for the weekend?

  2. So glad you had a great turkey day!! Ours was wonderful - cooking was a breeze because I did a good prep job this time. I washed dishes as I went so by the time we ate, there were just a few things to wash and put away. The kitchen was clean and the food put away by 3:35pm! I was free the rest of the day/evening to enjoy a short nap and noodle around on my tablet and watch tv. Very relaxing.
    No weekend plans other than working and getting out the Christmas bedding and some house chores and grocery shopping. Not going anywhere today thought. It's currently on 19 degrees and rather windy as snow is starting to fall. Glad we put the wreaths outside yesterday!
    Enjoy a nice relaxing holiday weekend guys!

  3. Thanksgiving was just the two of us. Quiet. Of course I ate too much. No Black Friday shopping for us. Not in the mood to be in crowds.
