05.14.22 – When Weekends are Dedicated for Chores

I know. I KNOW. This is what adulthood looks like. You go to work on weekdays. Then you do chores on weekends. And if you want to really unwind, you take your PTO days to either go somewhere else or just do a staycation. And come back to work with a shiton of catching up and messes to deal with. This makes this the vacation not even worth it. Yeah. I know, I’m just bitching to be honest.

As planned, I went to the store to do some grocery shopping. I stopped by USPS to pick up a box from Book of the Month. And I got a carwash – about time too. I just finished cooking rice and ground beef cooked in tomato sauce with potatoes, peas, and carrots. Don’t know what’s the name of it. I just kind of put together something. And it worked.

I have been making steady progress in reading Forrest Gump. Thank you. About halfway through the book which is good. I must say, Forrest is an interesting character. This character had experienced more than what a regular person might experience in a lifetime. Definitely colorful experiences.

Like I said earlier, my Book of the Month got delivered – well I picked the package up, but you know what I mean. I got two books for May. Darling Girl by Liz Michalski, a fantasy book, which is a reimagining of Peter Pan; and Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner, a memoir. I might pick up the memoir after I finish Forrest Gump. Hard to commit on it though, being a mood reader has its disadvantages for sure. I was leaning towards non fiction after reading Bad Blood and My Friend Anna. But Forrest Gump hasn’t disappointed yet. So I will continue reading this one until I’m done before I even think of what’s the next read.

My goal for next week is to definitely cook more. I enjoyed eating out and its nice, but when it all comes down to it, it’s $$$. Well I guess, the more accurate thing to say is I need to not be lazy to cook. That’s the thing that’s really stopping me from cooking. Laziness.

Tonight was date night. We started a little later than usual but it was okay. We still burned through a lot of House MD episodes. And yes, we had to skip the rest of the episodes in Season 1 where Vogler made an appearance. He annoyed the heck out of me to the point that I refused to even watch the show. It was such a useless addition. Unnecessary story arc. I don’t care what anyone else say, that kind of annoyance was needed on the show. My hun basically told me what happened in the episodes that we skipped.

It’s currently 11:30 pm and I’m still doing laundry. I had a late start this morning. And I had about an hour after all the errands that I just lazy’d it up. So, yeah. All good though. Almost done.
