Hubby heads to VA for the week and this will be a usual transition day for me. It bugs me that I transition in both directions (coming and going), but it happens every time. I'll relax when he's safely in VA.
Christmas is down in the house (wreaths are up for another week or so though). I have ornament bins still waiting for the new storage to come. It won't take too long to organize -- and it will be worth it for next year. I need to put back the regular decor after a thorough dusting. That's most of the agenda today.
The sweet potato and chickpea stew turned out really well. I doubled the recipe so I'll be eating it for a couple of days. I'll freeze 2 portions today. The secret to its sauce is tahini in the tomato based mixture. Creamy, thick, delicious.
We had a nice time at our friend's house for a happy hour. Munchies from both of us and none of us were drinking -- that was a change. We sat on their back patio with a pit fire and it was super to feel like a normal person for a minute. Mostly great conversation, but things turned a little hard onto pandemic talk -- that I could do without, but it's on everyone's mind. I'm glad to have good friends to safely gather.
Today is a relatively empty day. No workout, no cooking (leftovers), a little cleaning, reading, Netflix (probably) and painting my nails (toes and fingers). This kind of day can be hard for me to navigate since I don't have a lot to do, I feel sad and that tends to compound sofa-slug me. My goal is to figure out some ME productivity that leads to some happy for the day.
Quick post today. Find some happy and good. I heard a quote that said "beauty isn't hard to find, but it's easy to overlook." That's true for happy and good too (at least for me). Stay well. Later gators.
