beansideGood morning! I actually was allowed to sleep last night, which was lovely. I feel slightly less scattered today. Though weirdly more tired. Go figure.
We were super busy again at work yesterday. After about 15 min into my shift, the phone just started ringing and never stopped. I had a 20 second break at about 4:22pm. Otherwise, the moment I hit available, I was getting calls. I ended up taking 49, but honestly if I hadn't been using the aftercall button judiciously and taking that full 2 min between call, I could easily have hit 60. They're hiring 3 new people soon, which should help.
I made pot roast, which was tender on one side, and tough on the other. I suspect it wasn't 100% defrosted. The potatoes and garlic I'd thrown in there were perfect, though.
I also, for lunch, made us a garlic and spinach fry up, with parmesan and baked chicken on it. I put a little too much salt on it, but it was still really good. I love cooked spinach. I need to get another bag, and make some garlicky creamed spinach with parmesan.
The BIL, who is down with the flu, but feels better enough that he's going stir crazy, brought us some delicious potato soup and left it on our doorstep. It was lovely and warm and I appreciated it greatly.
We all have been deeply reluctant to go back to the old house. We know we should to continue cleaning, but holy fuck balls, I didn't realize how depressing it was until I moved out. It's clean and bright and comfortable here. There was dingy and dirty and the weight of four generations was pressing down. I don't ever want to go back. I probably will, but I really would rather not. But I need my knife sharpener.
This weekend is supposed to be kind of bleh. We have plans with friends, but on the other hand, do I want to drive to Delaware in the rain? I'm going to wait to see how things are on Saturday. I really want to see my friends! I haven't seenpoisontaster in forever!
I had not realized how depressing the house was until we were out, and now no one wants to go back. Jess is like "I should go back and put out trash, but I don't wanna!" And I feel it too. I just want to huddle in my clean, bright apartment and chill.
Hopefully, the phones are a little easier today. Time for me to get myself together for work. Everyone have an amazing Wednesday!
