#2771 weekend wrap-up

Here we are, Sunday night again already. I'm so thankful I don't work in the office on Monday. I used to have terrible anxiety on Sunday night. The thought of going back to work, of being in the office, made me a little irritable and stress-y. Since I've been working from home on Monday, I haven't had those feelings. I fall asleep easily and don't worry about what Monday will bring. I know it's all in my head, but Sunday anxiety is a real thing. When I just looked it up online, it is often referred to as the "Sunday scaries." It's is interesting that I haven't experienced Monday scaries. I am just fine with rolling into the office on Tuesday, and I really like being there on Friday. It's weird. 

Yesterday, Saturday, I only left the house twice to get food. LOL In the morning I zipped over to the grocery store to get some milk, ice, a donut, and bones for the dogs. When I got home, I made a pot of pumpkin spice flavored coffee (interesting) and finished my book club read. After the book club meeting, I did a partial swap of my clothes, changing the warm weather items to the cooler weather items. I didn't bring out all the sweaters, because we still have warm days ahead of us and I'll want to take some of the warm weather clothes to Greece. I did bring out some fleece and light sweaters, and I put away a bunch of lightweight blouses and skits. I also got rid of a few things I haven't worn this summer. It's all good. 

Last night I watched the Utah football game against Arizona State. Utah won handily. MT got home from his bus ride to South Dakota. We chatted about the trip for a little while. He seemed happy about the trip and glad to be home. He faded pretty early was sound asleep when I made it upstairs.

This morning, I was up at 6:00. Usually I get up at 7am on weekends, but today, I was awake, so I got up and made zucchini bread! I meant to make it yesterday, but was busy laying around and couldn't be bothered. I had my last docent shift of the year at Red Butte Garden. It was a beautiful morning. We didn't have many guests until around 10:30, then it was hoppin'. I am thankful for the glorious Sunday mornings I spent there over the summer, and the people I got to spend time with.  Here's a photo from this morning:

 When I got home, MT and I went to lunch at Copper Creek Pub. After lunch, I went up to my room, thinking I'd play Heardle, Wordle, and Quordle, and finish a book, but I took a nap instead. A long nap. A two hour nap. It was wonderful and unexpected and a little disorienting! The only reason I woke up, I think, is that I had to pee and I was really thirsty. I fixed both of those situations, then sat on the deck to finish a book. I cried when it was done. I want to live in that book with (most) of those people. Plus, reading the acknowledgements just made me even more weepy. I know you're going to read the book - the newest by Sarah Addison Allen called Other Birds. You'll see what I mean.

A week or so ago, maybe two weeks ago, I wrote about my reading dilemma - too many books, too little time. I want you to know I finished two books last weekend and two books this weekend. I'm a reading machine!

I still have a book from the library that I haven't even started. It's Beach Read by Emily Henry. It's due on Friday and isn't renewable. Not sure I'm going to start it. I think I'll just return it and hope to get it another time. I didn't enjoy putting myself in that reading bind. 

Now I am going to take a shower, wash my hair, and put on some relaxin' clothes. I'm going to pay the bills and plan the week. It's the last week of September! I'm just 22 days away from my trip to Greece! (My countdown goes to Oct 17, the day I go to LA. The trip to Greece officially begins on the 18th, but I get an extra travel day/vacation day.) It's time to get all kinds of serious about what I'm taking with me as far as clothing and shoes and outerwear. 

Okay...I hope you had a peaceful, relaxing weekend and you are ready to go forth with the final week of September, bravely marching into the mania of the fourth quarter of the year.
