Man. What a week! Open enrollment packets started streaming in on Monday
and by Wednesday we were drowning in paper. I worked 10-12 hour days and had to
talk to MANY more people than I usually do. Frankly, I’m amazed that I’m being
coherent right now. (I am being
coherent, right?)

A new to me snack – peach yogurt with cottage cheese in it. Yum!

Dr. M had a doctor’s appointment this morning – his A1C is down and so is his weight – go Dr. M!
I wore a new outfit today –
I thought I was cute. Ha!

Paper paper paper… This is maybe 1/6th of the paper we saw. Next year we’ll be doing all this online (fingers crossed).

I was headed to bed & knew I hadn’t taken a photo, so here are my tulips which are sliding into Morticia Addams territory. I love them!

Daylily!
And here is evidence that
someone in our house eats oatmeal the usual way (it was Dr. M).
It was the first game of
this round of the hockey playoffs, but I wasn’t sure I’d be able to stay awake
for the whole thing. Turns out I was right – the game was almost six hours long. They had four overtimes. That’s a whole second game. And
they lost. But what an epic battle! I went to bed at the end of the first
overtime.

I talked to So. Many. People. this week. My little introvert self was WHUPPED.
Here I am at the end of the day...

Ellen Abbott sent me some oatmeal that had “Seasonal Flavor” on the packets. She wondered what the heck seasonal flavor was & you know I volunteered to find out.
I think you're cute too. a photographer friend of mine did a whole series of black and white shots of dying tulips. they were pretty awesome. my double orange daylilies have just exploded into bloom.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think tulips make such interesting shapes the longer I have them around.
DeleteDrained, for sure. But I've become more and more of a quiet old hermit.
ReplyDeleteAnd an emotional support cupcake - I need one of those!
DeleteI loved your videos! It's great to see you moving and talking. I think we all need an emotional support cupcake now and then. And why is "seasonal flavored" lemon? Hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed you have day lilies already. Ours don't show up until July, if they show up at all. (They didn't last year!)
I usually have an emotional support glass of wine or some emotional support Biscoffs. But they're never lucky enough to go on a walk, like your cupcake.
ReplyDeleteLemon oatmeal just seems wrong to me. I won't address the addition of raisins.
I wondered about lemon as a 'seasonal flavor,' too. I decided it's because lemonade is a summer favorite; I'm still trying to wrap my mind around flavored oatmeal. Of course, I have trouble with most flavored oatmeals -- and flavored coffees, too. That stack of papers sure does look intimidating, and exhausting. I hope by the end of this week you're done with it!
