Pasta Making (Fail)

Well ... it was a partial success in that we know we don't want to make pasta at home again (!!)  It's a lot of work, a lot of mess and the noodles were way too thick.  The sauce was as we remembered so that was good.  The bruschetta and aged balsamic were good too.  It was fun and a lesson learned.  If we ever dared to try again, we need to do better hahahaha.

It's getting much easier to not drink at family functions and I was glad I didn't last night.  That was a lot of work and adding alcohol would've had me a hot, sweating mess.

The night ended on a strange note.  Kids told us they are going to a family wedding up north the weekend before Thanksgiving (can we watch the dogs -- of course).  The side of the family that's attending doesn't think COVID is real -- ouch.  The kids have to quarantine when they get back.  What that means is no Thanksgiving with them.  I won't risk it.  I thought about postponing until Saturday, but I'm not sure that gives us enough time as well as if anyone from the wedding gets sick, Saturday is also a no-go (and then we postponed for nothing).  Everything is indoors because it'll be cold in NY.  I need to tell them today.  Last they mentioned it, they weren't going.

I need to pull together some problem solving.  This is a tough one.

So needless to say, today is a downer day.  Hubby leaves for VA.  I'm bummed (and a bit annoyed) about Thanksgiving.  I need to tell them about Thanksgiving today which is also a bummer.  PMS is in full swing.  Did I mention I'm glad I didn't drink??  That would've made today's mood 10 times worse.

I took a "real" Peloton class yesterday.  Beginner advanced 30 minute -- meaning you have some fitness, but are new to the bike.  That was a good push without hurting anything.  Lordy, this is a fun bike.  I had a run on the schedule today, but my legs feel good.  I might take another class instead.  I think my mind could use a guided workout.

I have virtual bookclub this afternoon.  I'll be better organized with the dogs.  They eat at 3 o'clock usually and that created an issue last time.  I'll feed and potty them early so they'll be in full nap for the meeting.

Tomorrow has nothing on the calendar and I need a low-key day to regroup.  This week was a lot and PMS zaps me too.  The good news is I'm back to having full enough weeks that I need a quiet day.

Looking for some happy today, but I'll settle for allowing my low feelings.  Stay well.  Later gators.
