Rainy fall Monday beverages

Did you have coffee/tea/something else this morning? What’s going on this week?

I had Peet’s French roast with hazelnut creamer this morning. We opened four new rooms at work and our unit is now at capacity, so I was extra slammed this morning. I got my flu shot, and my arm is super sore. I got my Covid booster Saturday in the same arm, so that probably didn’t help.
We are going to the beach with some friends this coming weekend, so I am off Thursday and Friday. I am very excited for the getaway and for a short work week. Tomorrow I’m supposed to go read a story to M’s class during outdoor lunch, so hopefully it doesn’t rain. I am terrible at keeping secrets, and she doesn’t know it’s me. I’m really excited about it.

Too much coffee this morning. I need to hydrate.

I’m reviewing training for holes and issues. Then I will be playing with my new dremel tool and making a bracer. After that I’m going to work on a breast plate pattern and the leather belt.

I had a cup of coffee with cream and sugar this morning.

The guy who was supposed to fix the chip in our new sink came and completely fucked it up. It looks like he spray painted the entire corner with white paint that is nowhere close to matching the sink. He also sprayed all over the quartz countertop, which we managed to get off with rubbing alcohol. So they're ordering us a new sink with a three to four month ETA. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it comes in that timeframe, that it isn't damaged, and that removing the old one and putting in the new doesn't damage the countertop. This has all been such a pain.

Tomorrow we're getting our ducts cleaned, and then Wednesday night my brother is flying out and staying with us until after Thanksgiving. My parents, sister, and my sister's girlfriend are all arriving on Thursday. My siblings have never met C so I'm looking forward to having everyone together for the first time in forever.

I had coffee with hazelnut creamer this morning. Worked for a couple of hours, after I figured out HOW to make it work because apparently our boss messed up our normal remote desktop and deleted adobe and can't get it back, and the program we were using as a backup freaked out and got caught in a loop for me *sigh*
Anyways, I had a migraine after that so I went to lay down. Just about to walk over to the dollar store and see what I can get for more Halloween decor because I need more lol.
No plans this week except making sure our house is tidy enough for the landlord to come and patch holes (there are none...) because apparently the building has mice. We told them politely twice that we don't have issues but they left a notice so we can't say no now. F is starting back to speech therapy on Thursday, and I might tidy up my garden a bit.

I had coffee with chocolate syrup this morning.

Early a.m. client was cancelled, so I spent the morning listening to a Marketing course (specifically for dog trainers) . I'm only part way through the course, and excited to implement some changes.

This week's evenings are going to be busy. I have a few 4pm clients, which makes it extra hectic to get the girls to practices. Luckily S is a rockstar and can handle it, but I do feel kinda bad when he has to do all of the school pickup/dinner/practice prep solo.

We also have parent-teacher conferences on Thurs.

I had tea with oat milk and honey and apple cinnamon oatmeal for breakfast. At 1PM. Because it was the mondayest of all Monday mornings.

I keep missing these threads. I had hot coffee to start the morning (yesterday and today). Yesterday I picked J up from school and we went straight to the beach with a picnic dinner. The flies were biting though so we only lasted a couple hours and then ended up havinga picnic in our neighborhood for dinner. The beach is extra beautiful in Sept/Oct, I swear the skies look like a painting almost every day. We did a tiki cruise over the weekend which was an absolute blast, and it was kid-free so actually relaxing. I'm going on a trip later this week with one of my friends, my first time on a plane since March 2020 and I feel very #new with packing. So this is a fun and busy week.
