In My Home This Week: Second Verse, Same As the First

In my home this week:

It really does look like a repeat of the week just past, with the difference that John will be home all week long.  The flooring was rescheduled to go in on Friday morning...and then rescheduled again for this coming Wednesday.  I cancelled my hair cut to accommodate the first change of plans.  Too late to get that appointment back so I'm scheduled for Friday of this week.  And John, who has spent three weeks doing a Daniel fast has requested that I keep making such meals with just the occasional meat meal thrown in.  I feel like Ground Hog Day (the movie) has hit my home and it's not even February.

...I plan my work:

While the bulk of the small items in the guest room are stored in that closet (which is also my pantry and therefore inaccessible to me), there are a few things stacked here and there in the living room, as well as some of the music room items.  To keep myself from going stir crazy, I'll just head on out to the shed and put that in order this week, because heaven knows I want to put something in order with the chaos all about me!

Harvest day:  Bills, errands and groceries

Carpet day is supposed to be Wednesday.  Fingers crossed.

Continue to look for meatless entrée ideas.

Since the pantry isn't accessible, we'll have to rely on what's in the cabinets and freezers for meals this week, until we finally get to the grocery which will be a challenge in itself due to our schedules this week.  It will be a challenge to 'forget' that I have that pantry!  That's an interesting way to end the month since it's the way we began it...Did I mention Ground Hog Day?

Hair appointment on Friday. 

Go pick up car tags. DONE!

....I plan our meals:

I'll be looking for more recipes to use that are for meatless entrees.  I just hope I find several that are as good as the Kale Farro Stew.  It's no hardship really, now that I've got three weeks practice under my feet.  And then again, it is, too.  I must have new recipes to try.  Well there are plenty of ideas from the past three weeks we never did get around to eating.   And won't this week either.  I expect we will be out of the house at least 3 days this next week and possibly 4.

out of house x 3 this week. 

Pasta with Chicken, Artichoke Hearts, Spinach and Not Sundried Tomato Sauce,  Green Salad, Garlic Bread

Pinto Beans, Cheesy Corn Bread, Coleslaw with Apples and Walnuts

Hummus and Veggies in Pitas with Greek Salads

Twice Baked Potatoes, Green Beans with Walnuts and Mushrooms, Tossed Salad

...I plan my leisure hours:

I do wish I could stay abed and sip coffee and comfortably read the paper.  My body seems to dislike that whole leisurely in bed thing.  But doesn't she look relaxed?

We've a busy week ahead of us.  There's an awful lot to be done but I mean to take time out each day to do something truly leisurely.  Perhaps I'll take a nap.  Maybe I'll just sit and read for the pleasure of reading.  Tea on the porch if the weather warms up enough would be awfully nice, agreed?   I'll try to keep track of my daily leisure moments so you can see I am a woman of my word.
