Weekend!
Work is doing one of those “eye of the hurricane” things where last week was “cray-cray”, as the kids say, and next week is fixin’ to be “cray-cray-cray” (do the kids say that? If not, they should start) but this week has given me a little bit of extra time to finish my extra tasks despite the meetings that I’ve suddenly started being invited to.
I’ve also learned that being “invited” to a meeting is code for “show up or else”.
In any case, there are no meetings tomorrow, I’m all caught up, and have requested (and been granted) tomorrow off. WOOO!!! Three day weekend!
I plan on spending it slackjawed on the couch.
So… what’s on your docket?
I’ve got nothing planned. Figuring out the future perhaps.Report
Nice! I hope your jaw slackens to your satisfaction, your shoulders drop, and/or whatever your typical physical indications of relaxation are manifest themselves.
I’ve also got Friday off. I’m probably going to be up eaarrrrly to get to the bus station (unless a later ride materializes), to get to the South of the province and spend the afternoon with my daughter, then watch the opening night of my wife’s show, and all of us will head back home Saturday morning. I love going out to Rosebud – it’s such a lovely little town. Also, every time I go there, it involves seeing my wife after a week or more apart, which rather sweetens the deal.
Saturday there’s a concert and also a friend’s birthday party. I’m not sure how the scheduling will work around that, and if we’ll make it to both.Report
Turns out, the phone rang and I’m back at the office today.
Dangit.Report
Tomorrow I am interning or working or going to memorial services from 9 am until 10 pm.
Saturday and Sunday will be spent doing homework or doing chores or sleeping or bugging Jaybird. We need a quiet weekend.Report
Mayo has a yoga class with my sister on Saturday morning. Then we’re going to go to brunch. Hurray, Hoboken! He’s the bougiest kid ever.
Sunday, my mom is coming up for lunch and will then hang with the baby while we go see “Bad Words”.
Speaking of, if you haven’t seen Batemen on The Daily Show, you need to watch it. Especially if you are A) Jewish, B) have friends or family who are Jewish, or C) have otherwise attended a seder. It is literally piss-your-pants funny:

I’m doing the corporate-spouse thing and cooking for a dinner party schmooze-fest at our house tomorrow night. Tomorrow day will be starting to think about what the hell I’m going to serve.
A bit of sweet-sixteening and elite-eighting as well.
Sleep. Definitely sleep.Report
Out of curiosity, what is your spouses field?Report
Both faculty and admin at a university hospital.Report
So we had this thing while we were in Pismo.
High quality vanilla bean ice cream, dotted with infused olive oil, a dash of salt, and some balsamic vinegar.
Dude. DUUUUDE.Report
Wow. That actually sounds amazing.Report
Thing is, it’s like a chocolate mousse in terms of nuking your taste buds.
If you have a gentle main course or something, it will be too much. Nice big cut of steak or something and it’ll stand up nicely.Report
We’re recovering from Vegas. A trip that, I am sad to report, did not go very well. (I’ll link to the recap whenever I post it.)Report
At the moment I am trying to distract myself from the Louisville-Kentucky game so my heart doesn’t give out. Hopefully I’ll have someone to root for on Sunday…
Other than that maybe taking the dogs to the park. Need to put away camping gear from two weeks ago and prep for my new position which starts in one week. Khakis, polos and dress shirts to wash and iron. Chores, TV and maybe going to go see 300.Report
Heartbreak!Report
