“Remoted – Hybrid” – Day 981 (Wednesday) – wednesday

Wednesday was a real wow. There was company-paid coffee at the coffee shop. There were boss’s boss-paid breakfast treats at the same coffee shop. There was a team meeting with survey results and encouraging news for our team that will improve office workdays (coffee pods!!). And there was cake.

After the invigorating morning of treats and good news, the rest of day blazed along with leftover ravioli lunch and project progress and satisfaction. The roads on the ride home were nearly deserted. Quite amazing, really.

Still clothed in the work outfit of dark gray boot cut pants and a light gray cashmere sweater, kitchen work began immediately. There was pork and beef to brown with onions to be then mixed with celery, poultry seasoning, stirred with instant mashed potatoes and stuffing mix. It’s Mummu’s poultry stuffing recipe that has been part of our Thanksgiving and Christmas meals for as much of my life as I can remember. In the morning, mine will be reheated in the crockpot and then transported to Mom’s for dinner.

Jenna Ortega as Wednesday.

Before I sat down in front of the TV with a plate of supper, there were some naïve and ambitious ideas to also make an apple blueberry crisp or a chocolate bread pudding. Once the fanny was on the futon, all hope of that was lost, especially when I realized that the new Netflix series Wednesday with Jenna Ortega  launched. Wednesday Addams is possibly my favorite droll and delightful character, whether it’s from the original series of decades ago, The Addams Family movie with Christina Ricci (1991), or the new Wednesday series. 

So yeah, Wednesday was a real wow. The day and the series. And Thursday is the day of feasting and overeating, so there is still that excitement to look forward to.
