Weekend Plans Post: Happy New Year!

So we did the New Year’s Eve at game night where we watched the first two Mission Impossible movies and made it home by 10PM. And then New Year’s Day was low key. Maybe some cleanup around the house. Getting rid of all of the Christmas debris and boggling that both the garbage bin and the recycling bin was full and we were still a few days away from pickup day. The day after was New Year’s Day (observed).

And then Tuesday involved getting back to work. Remembering passwords. Trying to remember whatever in the heck it was that I was doing on the 23rd. Oh, yeah. I tested my server build script. Oh, yeah. It failed in a couple of places. Oh, yeah. I said that I’d look at the logs when I got going again.

In any case, I managed to wrestle my way through the logs (apparently, I need to allocate more space to a directory before transferring files to it) and am ready to get to editing and retesting. Maybe Monday.

As it stands now, this weekend will be spent playing catchup. I made the mistake of going to Costco last week for some essentials after a month of staying away due to The Holidays. Unfortunately, we only had one case of bottled water left and, I don’t know about you, but that year of quarantine made me really paranoid about stuff like bottled water, mac&cheese, toilet paper, and so on. Yeah, I know that things are back to normal… but I still wanted to get back up to three cases.

Of course, Costco was Thunderdome.

But I was Mad Max. We came out the other side with a good, solid “haven’t been here in a month” carload. Which means that, maybe, this weekend will be a light visit to Costco and it won’t have really weird crowds. (I just want to top everything off. Sprinkly cheese. Popcorn. Canned mushrooms.)

I was inspired to make my spaghetti sauce this week and so we’ll be able to have a hearty meat sauce with everything from leftover spaghetti to homemade pizza using the hippy-dippy dough from Whole Foods. (Maribou says that she likes adding it to Mac&Cheese better than adding hot dogs to it.)

And we’re tentatively leaving the time-out-of-time of the staycation holidays into the fully-fledged “back to normal” of 2023.

Ugh. I need a vacation.

So… what’s on your docket?
