Please tell me it's a long weekend and I don't have to go to work tomorrow.  Please? 

*le sigh*

This weekend was way too short.  Probably because I was so drained from last week.  Oh well, it was good anyways.  Got some major organization done on Saturday, along with my laundry. 

Also cooked a tuna casserole, which I was terrified of because it's one of those things that sound disgusting and have the rep of being disgusting, but turned out really good.  And it was quick and easy to make, so bonus.  I'll definitely be added to my regular meal plans.  The best part was the cilantro that I added in lieu of dried oregano.  Seriously, cilantro is my all time favourite herb and I will be putting it in everything I possibly can.  Casseroles, stir frys, salads, ice cream, cake, EVERYTHING.  Mmm...cilantro.

Today I've been just cleaning and tidying.  Best part was my Grandma coming to visit.  Wish the living room had been more tidy when she had, but I know she didn't care.  It was a nice visit, and I'm looking forward to having more people over.

Also, she brought me a plastic tote full of random stuff.  Paper towels, spaghetti spices, scrap paper, canned soup, some fabric I'd left behind, lasagna noodles, and an aloe vera plant.  Random, but useful.  Mostly, anyways.

I've named to plant Lowell, by the way, from a character in a story by [personal profile] maderr .  The character's combination of sweet and strong seems perfect for my new plant buddy!

Okay, I'm off to the store to pick up the ingredients to make cranberry scones tonight, and I think I'll skip cleaning the rest of the living room to get some sewing done.  Wanna do something a bit more fun before the weekend ends!

No, this post is not about vegetable rights, although that would be a fun post to write. :)

So, yesterday, I got up and felt a little stiff in the legs, but chalked it up to sleeping weirdly the night before (as I'm apt to do). It got worse as the day wore on, but still, didn't think much of it. Was working on a term paper and had parked my butt on the couch most of the day, so I just figured it was stiffness from inactivity.

This morning? OH GOSH PAIN! I've been hobbling around since I got up. I had no idea what the cause was, but then I was talking to one of the Office Ladies and she figured it out.

GARDENING IS MURDER ON THE LEGS!

Seriously, this is stupid. An hour-and-a-half pulling weeds does this? And that was on Saturday! Today's Monday, and I'm still feeling it! This is entirely not fair.


On the other hand, I really enjoyed the gardening, and if it's that much of a work out, I might convince The Lords to let me weed the garden all summer! Relaxation, time out of my dank basement domain, and a workout all in one. ;)
