To look forward

Its Friday. Whoo hoo? I'm trying to find ONE thing to look forward to but I'm having trouble. Watching movies with the kids is getting old (and the want to watch stupid shit and we can only half the time talk them out of it), as is playing scrabble or apples to apples. I'm going for a run tomorrow, but ugh running solo (because we are trying to stay single file and my friend just zooms off way ahead of me because I'm slow if I'm not trying to keep up to talk to someone) is not really fun. And its going to be weirdly cold tomorrow AM. I wanted to bake something but we can't find flour anywhere this week. And since the kids stay up so late  on the weekend, G and I can't even watch Ozark after they get to bed (its SO GOOD, guys!)

This is definitely around the time (after a few weekends mostly at home), that I'd have planned an adventure or two. And a date night. Something to shake up the routine and keep my mind off dreading next week.

I am REALLY enjoying Catch and Kill. I can look forward to reading more of it, hopefully (if I can find somewhere to hide away from everyone else). And we will get pizza. I love pizza.

  1. Our neighbor got us flour at the Fresh Grocer at Greys Ferry a few days ago. She says they are well stocked with most things. We couldn’t find flour anywhere else either.

    Do you run with a mask? I find I get really hypercarbic really quickly when I run with one, and while I’m sure this is advantageous to my fitness in some way, it also makes me tired and lightheaded (and annoyed). Also the mask gets damp and uncomfortable. If you do this, would love to hear your secret.

    Thank you for suggesting pizza. That sounds amazing right now.

    1. No I cannot run with a mask. Even walking with it makes me a bit dizzy after a while.

  2. We tried to make pizza..... it did not work. The kids ate it anyway.

    I'm also having trouble with not having specific things to look forward to...

  3. Same. Yesterday was the worst yet. Until today. Thank God I don't have kids...I def wouldn't be good for them right now.

  4. Maybe you can get new games to play with the kids. My son is 7 and we have discovered he can play grown up games, much to my delight. Dominion has been played 1-2 times almost every day and we are still enjoying it. Ticket to Ride and other Euro games can be fun too.
