work is so… worky
The Tuesday after a three-day weekend is always a slog but I think this Tuesday is the worst of the worst… You’re barely back focusing from having a couple weeks off over the holidays and then you get a three-day weekend and I swear my brain just forgets all about how it is that I make money, completely and totally.
As with the rest of the US, we’re having cold weather. No snow or rain or sleet but temperatures not reaching freezing. Most of the schools are either on delay or closed outright so everybody’s scrambling for childcare and that’s not helping with this most Monday of Tuesdays.
Because it was a long weekend, BabyBoy and I engaged in some cooking projects, mostly involving pasta. We made a durum wheat spaghetti and a more eggy fettuccine with a gochujang sauce on the spaghetti and an fully-involved Bolognese for the fettuccine. It all turned out well and it was fun, which is my excuse for not getting the holiday decorations put away, because by the time I cleaned up pasta making twice as many days I was too tired to be lugging boxes around.
And more fannish news, the kids have me watching an anime that is about an elf who is going back for another DND-ish quest after after her original adventuring party did the thing and returned home as heroes and then grew old and died while she’s more or less immortal. It’s very sweet and I’d tell you the name of it if I could remember it, but basically I say, ‘I wanna watch an episode of the elf show' and somebody pulls up an anime watching site and we watch. Fortunately, it’s dubbed so I don’t have to squint at the TV and read subtitles.

Your cooking exploits sound fun, but yes, I can imagine exhausting after the clean up.

My pupils have mentioned the US a few times lately with comments such as: "why won't school close here, do you know what happens in the US with even just a tiny amount of snow?" I do however think school should have been closed yesterday here, so much snow and wind.
