Well, the sammies were a pain in the butt (the veggie one especially). The dressings drew me to the recipes and I think they were just so-so. Everyone liked the meat one, but very few takers on the veggie. I'd have been better off to do what I like on a sandwich ... and ciabatta bread would've been better too. Wonder why no one had any?
The vintage Steelers jacket was a HIT -- hubby loves it. It's actually cute and fits well. Oh, and the Steelers won so there's that too :)
It was nice to have the whole gang together again. We haven't seen everyone since July 4th weekend in Asheville.
Now it's Monday and I'm so happy the cleaning crew is coming tomorrow instead. No early morning prep and no rush on a Monday morning routine.
I have a few errands and some little chores to do. If my back is okay later, I'll fill the new big potters for fall planting. Cucumbers and tomatoes are stilling going strong though. I have another 3 new cucumbers and tons of cherry tomatoes.
That said, I need a little bit of a down day. I'm learning to balance heavy days (social and/or busy) with something quieter. Not sofa slug, but a day at a comfortable pace. That's my plan for today.
Monday morning is also plan-the-week time and I have enough on the calendar again that I need to get back to doing the schedule. It helps to relax any overwhelm and these days it doesn't take much to get me feeling like it's TOO MUCH.
Yesterday was a heavy day. Lots of cooking ahead of everyone arriving at noon and then an afternoon of entertaining and dog stuff. Fun, but it was a lot. Thankfully, I'm back to sleeping well again.
Have a great start to the week and stay well. Later gators.
