labourless day
actually, i've done a lot, albeit stuff i want to do. friday i was off (finally!) so i shopped like a mad woman gathering stuff for the weekend, canning and a BBQ. i baked for the first time in months. and the husband and i went to a couples cooking class.
the cooking class was fun but with all of our cookbooks, cooking show watching and love of kitchen gadgets, it was no challenge. the paella we make is actually a lot better! still the leftovers made a good cold breakfast when we woke up late on saturday.
shopped, did errands, laundy, the usual saturday stuff. the husband napped while i organized everything for the party. went for a run for the first time in about 2 weeks.
saturday i finally felt good -- for the first time in weeks. i stopped feeling stressed about work. maybe i just stopped caring. all i know is i really needed the long weekend. and i really needed not to be too overprogrammed. i am very glad we didn't go away and we could spend time at home.
we had a great BBQ on saturday night that lasted until after 2 am -- good thing the neighbours didn't care. with all the beer that people brought, we could open our own beer store. not too many leftovers even though two of the guests just didn't show up. weird. but fine. tried to play matchmaker for two friends -- only time will tell if it was successful. she's definitely interested. haven't talked to him, but we'll have plenty of time to chat about it tuesday since we have a meeting that's an hour away from the office. he's a shy guy so she said it was hard to get a read whether or not he was interested. i'll get to the bottom of it.
couldn't sleep in sunday am despite going to bed after 2. woke up @ 7, fixed the scarf i stopped knitting at the beginning of summer and started it up again. started reading anthony bourdain's a cook's tour until the husand and bulldog finally got out of bed.
sunday afternoon i made peach jam (a lot of work for very little yield) and the husband and i made a ton of salsa yesterday. depending on how today goes (we are going biking), i may make one more jam (cranberry) but i also may do it later in the month since the fruit is frozen. i have a bit of work to do, but i am definitely not feeling like doing it. more reading, knitting and relaxing i say. oh and we're going on a big bike ride since next weekend we're riding 50 km, something i've never done. i can just feel the reprecussions of that next monday...
in any case, this week should be pretty good. work seems manageable. the husband is having a BBQ for his coworkers on thursday. time to take back life and have a better time. "if you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun" said katherine hepburn. maybe this week should be more about healthy anarchy and fun chaos.
