random ramblings

I’m exhausted, and it’s only Monday.  I think it’s going to be a long week.

We had a good weekend.  We spent all of Saturday in the garden.  SO mowed, whipper-snippered, and edged the lawn, and I weeded the lawn and planted out a garden bed.  It doesn’t sound like much, but we were completely worn out at the end of the day.

On Sunday we had a cooked breakfast at SO’s dad and stepmum’s place, which was delicious.  I could handle that every week.  Or every day, even.  However, I think we were still feeling the effects of the gardening.  We came home, and slept pretty much all afternoon.  It was great!  Not a lot accomplished, but a good day nonetheless.

Today was full on at work.  I spent all day in a VIC (Very Important Conference) defending my organisation’s approach to some critical issues.  (I think we won.)  Afterwards, we had a debrief with the executive, and I had various bits and pieces to organise in relation to the conference outcomes.  I was in before 7am and left at 4pm, worn out.  After stopping by the shops, I thought I’d just kick back and recline in the bedroom with some reading.  I woke up after 8pm.  Whoops. <blush>

However, I did make dinner, which included green vegetative matter.  We’ve been existing on a horribly bad diet.  We don’t eat much takeaway, so that’s a good thing.  What we do tend to eat for dinner is stuff like cereal, toast, poached eggs, more cereal, and baked beans.  Straight from the tin.  I love baked beans.  I think it’s the unique combination of salt and carbs, in that order.  So when I cooked dinner tonight, and included (gasp!) a salad, of all things, I felt very virtuous that we had managed to stave off scurvy for so long.  And SO really enjoyed it, which is a bonus.  He tends to be a picky eater, so it’s nice when he appreciates the food I prepare.

Anyhow, this has been a long boring entry about nothing much.  Sorry folks, I’ll try to be more entertaining next time.  

Off to bed now for this little chickadee.  Sweet dreams, everybody.
