@XSGeek true and this coworker is historically someone that seeks out drama & gossip anyway. Her current job is physically demanding at times and she’s looking for something less strenuous in her 50s.

Our leftovers are pretty great. For lunch today I had duck leg confit and saffron risotto.

Received a text this morning from coworker at old job to let me know I might get a call for a reference check for a job application she submitted with the VA. Happy for her considering other options. I think she’s tired of office and company drama.

Scheduled my Covid vaccine for Saturday morning. ✔️

@stueytheround chips perhaps? Love roasting them in the oven so they get a little crispy.
Spouse thinks I’m goody because when we make wings I prefer mine not sauced while he likes his coated in hot sauce.

Ordered my free Covid tests this morning

It needs to be 45° at night. It’s too cool at 62° to have AC on but too warm to make the house cool enough to comfortably sleep without it.

Aww it’s Monday tomorrow already?

Today’s recipe was One Pan Butter-Poached Shrimp and Spring Vegetables, a test recipe for America’s Test kitchen and Cook’s Country.
8/10, would make again but the recipe makes enough for 4 and there’s only 2 of us. We’ll see what it’s like as leftovers.

Turned out really good. I’d make that again and bump up the salt just a tiiiiny but.

Testing out an America’s Test Kitchen recipe tonight to give feedback. Pairing it with some saffron risotto and crusty bread.

@Samanthabwriter turned 40 this year and need to have my first mammogram. Not looking forward to it as a person with dense boobs.

Yesterday brother1 let it slip to us when we picked him up that his wife just accepted a job offer the night before. She needed a change very similar to what I had (was salaried working 50+ hrs/wk switching to hourly 40/wk & can WFH). Sure it’s a pay cut but it’s worth it.

The character Jocelyn on Schitt’s Creek reminds me of one of my coworkers. Super sweet, bubbly, welcoming, and has a stern side to her.

Finally scheduled a haircut. It’s been 10 months since my last haircut.

We frequently get Starlings visiting our balcony. I love listening to their variety of sounds.

@Teej_Muk interesting. One of the family members might buy it off of him. We won’t let him sell t because he’ll take the first offer that he gets even if it’s WAY lower than he should accept. Thankfully it’s paid off.

The last time I was at the restaurant in April or May they were already out of the duck confit so I had that tonight. So good. Everything was really good actually. Glad to be home.

Dad has agreed he shouldn’t drive & wants to sell his truck since he can’t get into it anyway. Talked about that they need to make a plan.
We’re going to talk to an estate lawyer like we did for the LLC and get things squared away.

@CyberPlayGround @LnzyHou thankfully I haven’t bought furniture there.
