Long weekend

It's a three day weekend (Martin Luther King Jr. Day is tomorrow, for my friends outside of the USA) and the extra day off is very welcome. I know we've only been back in school for two weeks, but my job is a lot more demanding than I used to give myself credit for. After hundreds of interactions with people every day, all of whom need something from me, plenty of downtown feels essential for my mental health.

I did have Marla and Martina over for drinks last night. It had been a while, and Martina had texted me earlier in the week wondering if we could get together and catch up. I made whiskey sours, which were a hit, if the level of whiskey in the bottle the next morning was any indication.


Yes, that was a brand new bottle at the start of the evening. Martina only had a drink or two, since she had to drive, but Marla's husband had dropped her off and was coming back to collect her when she was ready to leave, so the two of us drank the majority of it. I'd made a nice large batch of guacamole and had two kinds of chips to go with it, plus homemade black bean chili and crackers, so there was plenty of food to soak up the alcohol! Ahem.

Gregg and I have a day off together tomorrow! Just by chance, tomorrow was supposed to be his day to service his school aquariums, and of course schools are all closed for the MLK holiday. Brace yourselves for our exciting plans!! We're going to...………….trim tree branches and shrubs around our house and do some serious yard maintenance! Exciting, eh?! Haha. But. It's hard to tackle big jobs together given how much Gregg works and so we're taking advantage of the opportunity. It should be a great time to prune: a serious cold snap is upon us and we're to have temperatures well below freezing every night this week. I'm glad to see winter making a small comeback. It's been warm and rainy and humid, very unseasonable for January. So anyway, tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and cold, perfect. We've also discovered that right around the corner from our house (seriously, less than a block from the entrance to our neighborhood) is an access point for the Florence County Rail trail. It has paths and bridges over our local creek, Jeffries Creek, and from portions of the trail you can see our chimney and our neighbors' back yards. We'll probably take the dogs for a good walk there tomorrow, too. It should be a nice day.

What are you up to this weekend? Happy MLK day to my American friends!

    2. I got my already programmed and blanked ATM card to withdraw the maximum of $1,000 daily for a maximum of 20 days. I am so happy about this because i got mine last week and I have used it to get $20,000. Mike Fisher Hackers is giving out the card just to help the poor and needy though it is illegal but it is something nice and he is not like other scam pretending to have the blank ATM cards. And no one gets caught when using the card. get yours from Mike Fisher Hackers today! *email cyberhackingcompany@gmail.com

  2. One matter: for a week my laptop won't let me comment on blogs at Blogger; I am doing this on the office PC. Tomorrow is a work day for me although MLK day will make traffic less and more pleasant.

  3. It's been a stay-at-home weekend for me. Did a little yard work, a little sewing, basically kept busy around here.
    I hope y'all have a beautiful day outside tomorrow. Going to be cold here too. How exciting to be so close to an access point for a beautiful trail! Y'all enjoy!

  4. I'm removed from the MLK holiday, and was glad it penetrated and I won't go to the post office tomorrow. I hope you all, and the dogs, soak up my share, too.
    I've never had a whiskey sour. I wonder why.

  5. We had an ice storm Friday and it has remained cold all weekend so we've stayed close to home. It's nice you had a relaxing evening with friends. Those type of evenings can be very helpful in treating the stress from your job! Have fun tree trimming tomorrow and enjoy that walk with the dogs!

  6. Happy trimming to you! :-)
    An extra day off is sooo nice, isn't it. We have those every now and then, too.
    So far, January was a mixed bag of rainy and sunny days, some rather warm ones and some colder ones. We've yet to see one single flake of snow, but I am sure we won't be left off winter's hook completely, much as I'd prefer that.
    What we seriously need most in this country is water - our groundwater levels are still far from what they should be, since the extreme drought of 2018.
    Getting together with your friends for catching up is a good way to start the weekend! I have never had a whiskey sour in my life (not being a whiskey fan in the first place), so I wonder what it tastes like.

  7. Weekend is over and was uneventful. I haven’t had a whiskey sour since probably 1969 when I snuck a glass from the pitcher my father had made for a cocktail party they were hosting! It wasn’t Larceny but I guess it WAS larceny.

  8. What do you mean "plenty of downtown"? Surely you meant "plenty of downtime". Tut tut Jennifer. See me in my study after school - you have been a very naughty girl! I guess this error was the result of too much "Larceny"!

  9. Actually, I think your plans are stunning. And even though today was a holiday for many, I had to work. Life in retail.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I think your plans are a perfect way to spend a day off. My day off today was similar. I got necessary chores done that I would have had to squeeze in on Sunday. And it is cold here, but I like it.

  11. A rail trail! How cool! We have those in Florida, too. Wonder how far you can walk it? Glad you're having some wintry weather (with whiskey to combat it!). We're still well above freezing here. Which is...weird.

    1. (By "here" I mean England, not Florida, where I'm from originally. It wouldn't be weird there at all!)

    2. I think it's about 3 miles, all told. On path leads all the way down to the school where I work.

  17. I was searching for loan to sort out my bills& debts, then i saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Card that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted thus but decided to give it a try by contacting (smithhackingcompanyltd@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with$50,000,000.00 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work's after the agent left. This is no doubts because i have the card & has made used of the card. This hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!! Contact these email if you wants to get rich with this Via: smithhackingcompanyltd@gmail.com
