Hello Monday – PLAYWORKEATREPEAT

Hey there, friends. It’s time to link up with Holly and Sarah and recap my very quiet weekend at home. Being home felt good after going back to work last week.

It’s funny how even after Christmas, New Year, and the long summer holidays, it still felt like I’d never really had that time off. Boom. Just like that, it all feels like a distant memory, and Captain Routine came back to take over last week. Not complaining, just reflecting on how quickly time flies. I mean, what happened to January?

So what did I get up to?

Well, the wildest thing I did was get all of my washing done. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to see the bottom of the laundry bag empty for more than five minutes.

But having said that, I think I actually prefer to see dirty washing, because that means Sam is home and he’s gone to work, the gym, or hung out with friends and has gone through about three changes of clothes, which explains the usual full laundry bag. He’s away in Bali, and I’m sure he’s having fun wth his friends.

In the evenings, I’ve sent him a casual text, “Hey, how’s it going?” I don’t mind if I don’t get details. All I want is proof of life. He did send me one photo of his food and one of his accommodation. Good egg! Keep it up.

This weekend, I also got back to cooking some basic, high-protein meals. Over the holidays, it’s been a snack here and a snack there, nobody’s gonna know. Well, the diber dobber scales sure did. I put on a couple of kilos, and so did my husband. He was annoyed at himself, as he is determined not to put on his pre-knee replacement weight, and he still has a goal to drop more.

But it’s all good, because life would be so boring if we didn’t enjoy all the treats during the festive season. Don’t you agree? Anyway, fun’s over and we’re back on track. Cauliflower rice, anyone?

I spent a good chunk of the weekend watching TV. Blue Bloods was one of my all-time favourite shows, and I was very sad when it ended. So when the spin-off Boston Blue came on, I thought, yay! We’ve been watching and are up to date with all of the episodes that have come out so far. I’m not sure… I mean, I do like it and definitely don’t dislike it, but I don’t love it yet. A few too many plot holes for me, and I miss all the Reagans. The weirdest part is that the storylines feel very similar, with the same types of roles and situations repeated. I’ll still watch it, and who knows, I might change my mind.

I also watched four episodes of the last season of Stranger Things. Oooh, it’s so good, and I can’t see how it’s going to end, but I’m really hoping it finishes all neatly wrapped up and everyone alive. Everyone except Vecna!

And that’s about all I got up to over the weekend. How was yours? I hope you had a good one.
