2026 Week 8

I had Monday and Tuesday off this week because Callum had Monday and Tuesday off. On President’s Day Callum, Julie, and I went to IKEA. We had our IKEA lunch and shuffled around finding odds and ends. We got a pretty vase for the dining room table and I got some Zigbee buttons for home automation. Callum got a new pillow.
We had to get Callum back for a meeting so Julie and I played games. For dinner I made some beef ramen with short-rib bones from our dinner party. I thought it was tasty. Then Olympics continued.
On Tuesday I had to take Junie into surgery, then Callum to the eye doctor, then pick up Junie. Junies surgery went well. She was a bit loopy, but came back strong. She stills love the vet and we love her in her Junie suit.
The later half of the week Callum had UIL One Act Play rehearsal so I didn’t have a car to go see a movie. The fam has promised to see “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” this Friday. We’ll see if it’s still in theaters then.
I’ve gotten pulled into another project at work and I’m feeling optimistic about it, but really out of my depth and bone tired at the end of the day.
On Saturday I started with some gardening. I cleared out a lot of the back beds. Then Stella came home and we had our craft day. We had balsamic mashed potatoes for dinner and then I braved the Moody traffic to get Stella back to school. Tons of nonsense and uber drivers driving where there weren’t lanes.
