I had a fantastic day today! I was a little jumpy and I did drive 80-85mph down to work (I haven’t gone above 75 except to pass in a loooong time) but lo and behold my student seems to be afflicted with this monster or something like it because she was waaaay up there too! She ran to class and was doing vigorous laps between the desks so I suggested a run outside and we both got to move and get energy out.

Basically she and I effed off all day lol. She did a little work because cooler heads prevailed and I did require it but we went outside and goofed around. And since I am also exuberant today we had a great time, we swung on swings and she taught me dance moves and how to balance on one leg (did you know you’re not supposed to put your arms all the way out?). We talked for about 20. Minutes outside in the AM and she got a little heated talking about certain subjects but she didn’t get out of control.

Anyway I came home and prepared a semi-involved meal, at least as involved as I could make it given the ingredients I had on hand. Shoot I’ve just remembered I never made the crescent roll apple “pies”. I was gonna make them for RS but he didn’t come home until 6:15, I thought he’d be home earlier but he got held up. I was kinda sad that he wasn’t there to see my masterpiece or eat it hot. Masterpiece isn’t the right word I guess but it’s more involved cooking than I’ve been able to do for weeks on a weeknight.

I spent time today reading up on how to use stainless steel pans. I’ve only ever used nonstick which really aren’t useful for serious cooking like searing meat. Not that I eat much meat but still. I feel like I should get one.

I wanted to go down and ORGANIZE THE ******* PANTRY but it gets dark so early and I really don’t like skulking around the basement at “night”. I’ve always had a thing about basements, they’re creepy. I mean ours now is not nearly as creepy as the last one, there’s sufficient light and it’s not all damp and musty. But still.

Not really sure what to do with myself right now. It’s 8:20pm. I don’t have a lot left to clean or organize up here.

The worst thing is though this could flip like a switch tomorrow but I guess I won’t know until I wake up.
