That’s how many emails I had in my Inbox. This does not include the spam. I think I just realized how truly out of touch I’ve been this past week. The good news is that after a 13 hour day tomorrow, things should start to calm down a little bit (there’s even a rumor of having next weekend off!). Hooray! I did have a much-needed day off today, however, and I even managed to cook dinner.
C&J were kind enough to have us over for dinner on Friday, and I’m pretty sure a whole cow was offered up as a sacrifice to our (well, ok, my appetite. Unfortunately, I had to work yesterday, which puts this week’s total at around 70 hours. Today was fantastic, though, and it included a nice nap. I fixed breakfast for Kev, did the dishes, then crashed for about an hour. Then it was to my base store to check in, then the grocery, then here for this, this, and this.
Yes, it’s true: My replacement addiction is FoodTV. More specifically, it’s 30 Minute Meals. There are worse things, right?
Finally, Kevin and I got to enjoy a night out last night, which was nice. I feel like I haven’t seen him in forever. I can’t even imagine what it would have been like if I had decided to stay in corporate housing instead of commuting. The upside is that we had a whole lot to talk about over the last two days, although I’ve kept track of how many times he’s referenced the dump in his conversation. Did he happen to mention his new hard hat? 😉
I know this is long and rambling, but if you’ve managed to keep your boat steady in this stream of conciousness, I applaud you. Besides, it’s probably all you’re gonna get for the next few days.
