School begins
Sep 27
It’s only Tuesday and already this week is shaping up to be a little nuts. Eric started school this week which means he’s in class most nights 6-10pm. He’s also working part-time not so Tuesday’s he’s at work and then off to school and then home. This last weekend he worked 20 hours in three days. He worked Friday, half of Saturday and all Sunday. SO in the last oh… four days we’ve seen each other about half as much as we usually do. That can be go and that can be bad. I haven’t figured out which yet.
What I have realized is that when it comes to dinner we’re in the “fend for yourself” mode. Which means, by the time I get home, Eric’s gone to school and there’s no dinner. Waiting for him means waiting until 10pm which isn’t a good idea either so. We fend for ourselves. I’m actually thinking of improving my casserole recipe selection so that a casserole can go in the oven and get cooked so Eric can have an early dinner, then I get home and have my dinner. It’s only the first week but I’m sure we’ll figure this out. I know Eric feels a lot better about what he’s doing and has a sense of accomplishment so that’s good.
Eric’s working most weekends so that doesn’t give us much of an opportunity to visit family or friends on the weekends any more, at least for the next two months since the schedule is out. I suppose that’s not that big of a deal anyway since we don’t have many plans. My annual trip to the Washington Scrapbook convention is a no go and that’s about the only thing I had planned from now until Thanksgiving when everyone will be down here anyway. I suppose it’s a good thing to because it saves on gas besides, where would I go visit? Othello? My mom wouldn’t know what to do if I saw her more than a few times a year, besides she’s got school and all that stuff going on. SO we’re pretty much tied to Portland for a while…SO if you want to see us I guess you’ll have to come down here, or I can come visit you but for the most part, Eric works the weekends.
Time for dinner… mmmmm mac n cheese…at least Eric can’t taint this batch with his “improvements”
