My work duties were minimal today. It seemed like most of the people in the office were already on weekend mode. I decided to take the afternoon off to enjoy the day.
With my free afternoon, I had tea with Julia and Joe and I made some banana bread. As Joe was going home for the weekend for his dad's birthday, the three of us wanted to get some quality time in before he left.
Around 4:15, I headed over to tutor my second student. I got to the house and knocked on the door and no one answered. I was stood up!
I suppose it could have been worse - it could have been raining on my walk over. I could have been run over by a car. I could have tripped and hurt myself. In any case, I just took a deep breath, turned around and headed home.
Once I got home, Eric messaged me to make dinner - as he has been traveling for the last few weeks, I hadn't seen him in a while. We ran to the Penny to grab some pasta, veggies, and sausage, and made a nice dinner AND chocolate chip cookies. They ended up being more like sugar cookies with chocolate chunks, but they were still good.
Chocolate chip cookies are another thing that have been added to a running list of foods I miss from home.
The night was still young, and Dawn, Chris, and I decided to watch a movie with a little bit of a game. As Chris had never seen Despicable Me (one of the best movies of all time), we watched that and taped little mustaches on the screen. Our regular movie night turned into one of constant expectation as we waited for one of the three mustaches to line up with a minion, Gru, or one of the other characters.
