Weekend Update: No Dates, but Still Fun Edition

Good morning, kittens!
 
Hallelujah, it's a short week.  only 3 days of work.  Yay!  Love it!
 
So, the weekend ... lessee.  Friday night, I stayed in and had cocktails with Peter and Tomoko.  That was fun.  Then, on Saturday, we had Co-op Yard Work Day to rake leaves.  After that, I went to the grocery store.  And, I made Candy Cane Vodka (finished product).  Later, I spoke with the Young'un and learned that we wouldn't be having out date.  He has a sinus infection and wasn't feeling well. Boo.  *sad face* ... Instead, I got to have dinner with K-Factor and the Canadian.  We went to Adega.  And drank a lot of wine.  Then, we came back to my place and drank prosecco and watched Moulin Rouge.  After they left, I watched A Single Man, which was pretty durn awesome (although sad).
 
Sunday, K-Factor and I went to the pottery studio.  I had two completed pieces (they are gifts, so no pictures yet).  Also, K-Factor found a mug that I had made and completely forgotten about, so I glazed that one.  Yay.  I have a lot of things in the kiln right now: the aforementioned forgotten mug, two wedding presents, a large oval bowl, and a vase.  I may go pick them up on Wednesday after work (if I have time).
 
Once home, I had to go back to the Whole Foods to pick up a few things I forgot.  Then, Carolyn called and we met at El Golfo for dinner.  Mmmm.  Spinach Enchiladas. Once home, I goofed around for a bit and went to bed. 
 
So exciting is my life.
 
Not much going on today (no more pottery class until next year.  *sigh*).  I guess I will do a little cleaning and tidying when I get home.  Fun times.
 
Have a great day!  *smooches*

    My work week ends tomorrow morning. Except for the locum shift I picked up for Wed. But that's fine, since USDA will be calling me tomorrow morning to beg me to work for tham.

    I'm jealous of y'all who get a 3-day work week, PLUS turkey (or tofurkey, but I'm not jealous of that).

    Enjoy your short week.

    Damn being self-employed!!! I'd love to get a short work week and still get paid. Oh, wait, we're not making any money anyway, so it's not like I'm getting paid for the days I DO work.... *sigh* (Yes, being self-employed is totally like being unemployed except that there is more stress and less watching of TV series on DVD...)

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

If We Took a Holiday ...

 Happy Presidents' Day! Since I last posted, so much has happened ... I think.   I was going to bake my parents heart-shaped biscuits, because -when we were wee lads- my mom used to bake my brother and I heart-shaped biscuits on Valentine's morning.  They were not as good as the biscuits I make now. However, after I grated the frozen butter in my food processor, I tipped it out into the flour and the handle on the food processor broke.  The bowl fell into the flour.  I dug out a few pieces of plastic and a spring, and I threw it all in the trash.  I called the manufacturer.  They are sending me a new bowl ... in 2-3 weeks.  UGH.  HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE BISCUITS NOW?!?!? The SigNoth caught a cold, so Valentine's Day was even more of a bust.  Not that I really buy into the whole pseudo-holiday thing anyway. Saturday, I did my taxes. Refund, yay!  And, I ordered some nice stationery.  I thought it would be fun to use my fa...

Too Early But Not Early Enough

 6:00AM. With the new normal, I should be on a bus to the metro station, where I board a train and then another train to arrive at my office bright and early and chipper as a newborn squirrel. Today is special, though.  It's Pottery Class Registration Day.  Which is surprisingly competitive.  The DMV has too many Type A Soccer Moms (and Dads). In order to register for class, I have to log on at 6:30AM and hope the Pottery Gods are kind to me in the registration queue.  We shall see ... so exciting. After I register, I will then board a bus and a train ... and another train to get to my office.  Depending on what time I arrive, I will either work late (ugh) or take some leave (also, ugh).  Being totally honest, I will more than likely take leave because I hate being at work late.   This would be a perfect day to telework.  If we were allowed to telework.  Too bad Danger Yam (as one of my mutuals calls He Who Must Not Be Named) thinks...
