Week 40

Welcome back and happy Tuesday! I'm still dealing with super busy work weeks and it just keeps coming and hitting hard.  The holidays can't come soon enough for a break.  At least I was able to get some fun downtime in on the weekend.

Here's a look at last week:

Day 275- Monday, 10/2/23

Rusty watching me while I watch TV in the office since Monday night football is on in the other room.  We don't like watching football..

Day 276- Tuesday, 10/3/23

John had a job interview today.  He's pretty bored staying home all the time and feels good enough to try working  again.  Sadly his former work place has no "comparable" positions at this time but that's ok because he's up for trying something new.  Meanwhile I managed to break free from zoom meetings and virtual trainings to make a quick trip to the store for essentials, and yes, the bumpy pumpkin is an essential this time of year.

Day 277- Wednesday, 10/4/23

Wednesday at work I'm wrapping up a protozoal seroprevalence study in sea lions--so many samples to run but almost done.  The washing step between incubations is my least favorite part.  Later back at home I got a little kitty therapy while unwinding from my day. 

Day 278- Thursday, 10/5/23

I'm slowly working on getting the Halloween decorations out and found this cute skeleton stacked pumpkin on sale at Target.  He lights up too and was perfect to replace another decoration that got too old and need to be tossed.

Day 279- Friday, 10/6/23

TGIF and cheers to the weekend!  This week was so draining that I don't even remember what movie we watch because I'm pretty sure I slept through it.  At least the drink John made for us was good.

Day 280- Saturday, 10/7/23

Our SF friends invited us to Treasure Island to watch the Blue Angels air show at Fleet Week today and it was so fun plus an unusually perfect day near the city--warm, no fog, no rain, just a little wind, and a whole lot of sunshine.  The only difficult part was getting back out over the bridge with all the traffic heading home.  A good day with friends out in fresh air was just what we needed.

Day 281- Sunday, 10/8/23

Back to reality getting chores done today but also stopping to step outside and smell the roses for a bit.

  That's it!  Come back next week for hopefully more fun.
