“Remoted - Hybrid” – Day 560 (Monday)

As Mondays in the office go, it was quiet. One colleague is on vacation, one was occupied with a virtual conference, and there were just two of us in our half of the suite. There weren’t a lot of emails or phone calls. Basically, it was a perfect Monday in the office.

There was almost a brief walkabout in the afternoon, but the surprise rain shower caused the dismissal of the idea. When I checked Google weather before dressing for the day, there was no mention of rain. Or maybe there was and I chose to acknowledge only the parts I liked and stopped paying attention after seeing the forecast of 72 degrees.

Fried mashed potato patty and mustard.

There was pizza over the weekend, which meant, by design, at least seven more pizza meals. One foil wrapped slice was grabbed for lunch and tossed into the work bag. The weekend time dedicated to the rigorous physical training with bike riding and hard labor in the yard meant the pizza was the only food acquired, and no meal planning was done. Oops. Supper became a fried mashed potato patty with a big schmear of whole grain mustard. Thank goodness for last week’s potato boil and mash fest. 

There are still several pounds of potatoes to be dealt with, which might make this the perfect time to dust off X2’s family recipe for potato candy. That might have to go on the activities docket for the weekend’s entertainment. Not that I need to be eating more candy, doctor’s scale, blah blah, tight pants blah blah, but hey, whatever.
