Jan. 26th, 2024 12:28 pmThe weather warmed up over the week enough that now we’re cloudy and rainy and foggy. It took a long time for the sky to lighten this morning, but it did, which is better than the alternative, yeah? I remain bemused that I’m getting up early enough to watch the process.
I survived the work offsite days, though there were times that I was texting madly, just to keep my sanity. I started off the week by standing up to correct some misconceptions and then having a microphone handed to me so I could continue to engage with the people who didn’t know what they were talking about. It was like live, in-person version of someone being wrong on the Internet, where you know you really shouldn’t engage, but you do because they’re wrong. I mean, this is what I actually do for a living and have done for decades, and as I might’ve mentioned, they were WRONG. So, yeah, that was fun. And I kept getting recognized by the sales guys throughout the rest of the assemblies. Even more fun. /s
So the rest of the week is just trying to keep up, and catch back up, and continuing to unpack and re-organize the house. BabyBoy is back on his baking routine, so we have had chocolate chip cookies and brioche rolls (that we used to create some very tasty steak sandwiches), and some overnight bread which we’re gonna use with the French onion soup I made last week. It may be very dark and gloomy but we are eating very well.
And in emotional news, I said goodbye to L yesterday. They closed on their house and are heading to stay with family in Connecticut while they start their hunt for an apartment in Manhattan. Plus, I start back two days in the office next week, so this is like a whole new chapter of daily life. There are pluses and minuses to both – – I mean, having a place to stay in Manhattan when I hit NYC is not bad – – and apparently the new office is very nice, but y’know. Changes. So stressful.
at least we’ve made it to Friday so enjoy your weekend!
