Can't tell you how much I enjoyed an evening at home last night. Got into my comfy clothes, baked a loaf of fresh banana bread, made spaghetti with good ground beef, a red and green pepper, baby bella mushrooms, Vidalia onions and arrabiata sauce topped with fresh grated Parmesan - delicious! And then relaxing on the couch with a couple of episodes of Top Chef. A very restful evening. I love Pilates class and hiking but they take up most of my evening after work, at least in terms of my energy. Sometimes a restful evening is a necessary tonic.
Frustrating morning. Homeless woman with mental illness issues came in late in my intake shift. Had to stay til 1 pm when I handed the case off to another worker to finish off. Looks like our county will buy her a one way bus ticket to Green Bay.
Rough day at work calls for a nice glass of Gewurtztraminer with my kettle corn snack at home. Dad felt bad that his work didn't allow him to get home in time to hike tonight. I, on the other hand, felt relieved. Not sure I could have forced myself tonight. Perhaps if the weather holds, I'll actually enjoy a hike tomorrow. Right now, I'm enjoying the gewurtz!
The other good antidote to a stressful day is homemade mac 'n cheese. Ah, I feel human again!
