I'm happy it's Friday but...

1) how the hell is it Friday?
2) this has not been a great Friday

Things to look forward to:
a) the forecast is now clear of rain on Sunday so I should be able to take myself over to the H-Mart
b) new ep of Art Detectives drops on Acorn on Monday
c) last Quantum Bang stories get posted over the weekend

Art Detectives is a somewhat typical British police procedural, except there are very high levels of nerdiness with the DI. There were points in ep 2 where I thought he might've totally forgotten about the murder. He didn't but yeah, historical nerdiness. It's quite fun. Although, as it seems with most British mystery series, the DI has a (somewhat) criminal father - as opposed to a long-missing wife, which appears to be the other trope.

So far this week...

I Zoomed with conference!roomie on Sunday. We have future plans to go out to Hanford in a couple of years, once they've finished working on the B Reactor. Assuming, of course, there's still a national park to visit.

Late yesterday afternoon, my psych messaged to ask to reschedule our appointment to today. And the only times she had available were, gosh darn, during the department end of the semester get together. Due to budget cuts, it was bring your own lunch and they'd bring games. I was very glad to have a legit excuse to not go.

I ordered groceries this afternoon, but apparently radishes were out of stock by the time they packed my order. So now I have these 2 turnips which I will have to find something to do with. I'll cut up and roast one of them. I'm not sure about the second one. Mashing is always an option but that doesn't sound appealing right now.

I'm currently off salad, for reasons no one probably wants to hear about, so I'm in search of non-starchy vegetables to have instead. Hence the turnips (and someday the radishes). It's a really big pita because the starchy ones are so good. And salad made it really easy to get servings of veggies and fruit in one easy to eat package. *sigh*

Home at last

I am home! Where I apparently left the kitchen light on when I left 2 1/2 weeks ago.

I usually unpack right away but I am so not there. I went through the mail, emptied my backpack as it had the laptop and all the cords and cables as well as some food, and took a shower. I've had something to eat and am contemplating a grocery order for tomorrow. Although I do need to go out and pickup prescriptions at two different pharmacies; the curse of ADHD meds still not being consistently stocked. hmmm.... it's looking very wet and humid tomorrow. Maybe just the one pharmacy which has terrible hours and will only hold my prescription until Monday; also the closest one.
