Too much macaroni salad and a do nothing day

Tuesday night I realized as I got into bed that I didn't blog. When there's nothing really new to report, there isn't anything to report. 

At dinner last night, it was just Doug and me. Geoff being at school he got home and ate a left over chicken thigh. I had Geoff buy some macaroni salad to go with burgers. That was supposed to be part of tonight's dinner. But we cracked it open to have beside the chicken. 

We kind of killed the container, and when I was cleaning up, there was just a very small amount left. So I ate it. Four spoonfuls isn't enough to justify putting it back in the fridge. I knew my blood sugar would be high, but at actual bedtime it was really decent. 

It went up a lot for this morning's reading but we got it back into good range during the day. Whew.

My workday yesterday was pretty busy, as usual. I took today off to hopefully get a few things done around the house. My one major goal was to head to Target and get some storage containers to start putting things into. 

That much got accomplished. Not much else did. 

My boss told me recently he does not want me working on days I take off. So today... I didn't. I did absolutely fuck all nothing work related. I did check my email and looked at Slack at 5pm and Jesus if tomorrow isn't going to be a mess right out the gate. 

But at least I'm prepared. 

Instead, I did the usual play games on the phone, surf the internet. 

Big thing to note is I looked at pictures from a wedding that happened this weekend. One of Jess' childhood friends got married (she and her new husband also worked with Geoff for a long time up in Massachusetts, so both my kids were tight with S). 

Jess was in the wedding party, which was very sweet. I know they loathe dresses and stuff, so this was kind of lovely to see.. They didn't send me any pictures but the bride's dad posted to FB. Everyone looked amazing. Jess and their roomie Liz were in the wedding party together. Really nice dresses and Chuck Taylor sneakers. Very much all on brand for these kids.

I don't have permission to steal/post the photos anywhere but it was really nice to see all these kids together, kids I've known since they were all in 7th grade, then were all roommates (I referred to them all as the Puppy Pile back in the day). 

I'm very happy for J&S after all these years together. Long may they run. 

Geoff has class again tomorrow, so he's going in early and then going straight to school. I have to get all my plastic bins out of the car and remind him he needs to get gas. I should have done that for him while out on errands. 

Not much else to report. Digits below!
