Short Friday

Another good start to the day and I was back at the helm ahead of eight with a couple of breakfast bullets in my belly showered clean body. I had a pair of calls that would consume my entire morning then nothing scheduled for the afternoon. I got a surprise message from the Chef asking if I could help with something. He wasn’t sure if he’d need me but I was on call until further notice. Since he was so good as to abandon his plans a week ago I was more than happy to repay the favour. The morning flew by. The second of the two calls was to review data but I wasn’t really involved directly, more in a supporting role, which I was happy to help with. For lunch I thought about having some chicken wings but they weren’t quite thawed enough from whenever I pulled them out of the freezer, maybe tomorrow. Instead I took my time and made a chicken parmesan Stouffer’s bistro and a can of Texas style BBQ Beef Chunky soup. I started lunch around ten to two and finished up closer to three. I was in no rush, unlike the rest of the week. I almost took the time to have a quick nap but thought better of it. Instead I got back to it. It was half five when I finished things up. I had a bit of a list going into the “afternoon” and was able to clear up or advance almost all the items. That should give me the chance to take some time off over the weekend and still start the week in a decent spot. I didn’t have a lot of energy left but I also wasn’t famished due to the last lunch so I opted to fire up an oven pizza. I went the Great Value Four Meat pizza. I put it in and then turned off the super bright kitchen light and saw this cool view below and thought to share it with you. I spent the time waiting for dinner listening to podcasts, my queue was getting down to a reasonable level and I wanted to try and clear it before the weekend.

The pizza came out well, I let it go the full time and a touch extra this time. I’m not sure why I was worried about it being undercooked but it certainly wasn’t. I doused it in Cholula hot sauce but I guess I’m getting immune or that bottle has been in the fridge too long cause I barely noticed it. Maybe my spice tolerance has creeped up a notch, to notch one. I had a can of Sprite with dinner too and put just sprinkle of white lightning in it. I could barely sense it but it loosened me up a tick. After doing the dishes and finishing the podcast episode I was consuming I descended and put on the Office. I’m into season four now. I put in a couple hours watching that and then lumbered up to bed around ten to get a decent sleep.
