Painfully Productive Weekend Recap

Howzit y'all!  We're back to Monday.  Bleh.  The Mr was a trooper this weekend.  If you read yesterday's post, you saw the bathroom got started and that was thanks to the Mr.  Between my bunged up calves, feet that can't take being on a ladder yet and usual shoulder issues, the bathroom ceiling stuff was dumped in the Mr's lap.  He took it like a champ so I kept the vittles coming.  I had 85/15 beef I needed to use from a while ago so I used that for the burgers that the Mr gave enthusiastic thumbs up to.  The night before, we went to a specialty market downtown and grabbed some pepperoni that our favorite pizza place uses so we could make pizza at home for dinner.

While it wasn't exactly like our favorite spot, it was fine.  I need to figure out how to get the sauce our favorite place uses because I got it years ago but it only comes in like 6 lb vats because the grocery store brand was meh.

The Mr got the attic trim done and a coat of the ceiling paint.  I'm not going to share any pics yet because I want it to be a surprise but I will say that our bold color choice for the ceiling isn't as scary as I thought it could be.  It took a lot out of him because of the overhead work.  I massaged his shoulders because they were bothering him and trying to get in front of any potential headaches for the next day.  Any kind of overhead work including military presses always spells a migraine for him the next day and we thought we evaded that.

Sunday...migraine.  😢

I gave him another massage with some arnica on his shoulders and close to the shoulder blade which is always his problem spot.  Then I hit him with the massage gun until he waved the white flag.  We tried feeding it and it just wasn't getting better.  I suggested the cooling shoulder wrap I got him for Christmas so he put that on his shoulders and conked out for a bit.  I felt horrible for him.  Then he decided he wanted to push through and do the second coat on the ceiling so I started our food prep which was cutting each chicken breast and cooking them one at a time since they were all being used for different things.  How the hell I spent 90 minutes in the kitchen doing that is beyond me.   I now know why I throw it all in the crock pot.  I made the two cauliflower bowls for our lunches this week.  So we are STOCKED.

He put the final coat on while I put his clothes away and we chatted on the bed.  At this point, I had a headache too.  I warmed up the turkey meatloaf I made last weekend, carrots and warmed up the mashed potatoes I threw together earlier in the day.  Before we knew it, it was 6pm and painting was his workout so, I hopped on the floor bike after dinner.  We finished watching Jo Koy: Comin' in Hot that we started the other day and laughed our asses off so hopefully a little extra calorie burn.  We're giving the bathroom this week to start curing before working on the part that scares us both a little next weekend...wallpaper.

How was your weekend?
