Yesterday was a good day. I try & take at least one day a week to have a much easier workout (or, none at all, if we're traveling or the like.) I went for a morning walk, & then M & I played a quick game of pickle ball. It was very fun & the weather was perfect for both. It was super chilly for my walk, but the leaves were gorgeous. It warmed up enough for pickle ball that I played in a tank top & pants.
I hustled home, and ate lunch & then headed off to watch Nick's soccer game. They pulled out a win, despite quite a few injuries and a few questionable calls. Nick gave me a ride home from the game, and we chatted about the fact that his club soccer season is ending in just a few weeks. Nick has been playing club soccer for 11 years, so this will be quite a milestone! I can't believe it. School soccer tryouts start tomorrow. You can't play games for both teams at the same time due to youth athletic regulations, so they are quickly winding down club soccer, so school sports can begin.
I made a new to us recipe last night, and it was delicious. Highly recommend this creamy dijon chicken recipe. I chose it because it uses heavy cream, which I needed for a slow cooker baked potato soup recipe I'm trying tonight. And, we always have spinach to use up!
As for today, here's my plan:
- Go to a workout class
- Make slow cooker soup
- Laundry
- Apply for two jobs
- Meet a friend for a hike
- Pay Nick's physics tutor
- Work with Nick on last college application
- Buy thank you gifts for the teachers who wrote Nick's college letters of recommendation
- Drop off Halloween candy at BN contact who is collecting it for a shelter
- Find 5 items to donate
- Talk to the boys about our plans for New Year's/winter break
I have help today getting a few things hauled to the garage that will be picked up later in the week. I had a "play" day yesterday so sending the day getting household stuff done so I don't feel like the week is starting with chaos. The Minnesota Vikings game was changed to an evening game and kids and pets here and staying for the game. My youngest will probably leave by half time so she's home at a reasonable time. It's bittersweet with the end of a kids activities. It's exciting to see them grow and experience new, but I find myself wistful about the past activities and family friendships.
