I am no pizza pro but the pizza was pretty good. I cooked up some chicken and added a little buffalo sauce. D then put all the pizzas together and I think this one was the winner.
It's Friday night and as a rule I generally do not blog on Friday & Saturday nights. But I feel like it tonight and if you feel like something, why not do it? I also find that sitting down and writing maybe relaxes me to an extent. After having the kids home from school for 3 days in a row, I'll take all the relaxation I can get. Added to this is the general chaos that is work. I know I go back to this comment a lot but it seems like every week gets a little bit more crazy. Today was just another of those days. I'll try to stop repeating this theme but it is my life right now to some extent.
Last night I booked a ticket to Seattle then cancelled it this afternoon after having it confirmed that they screwed up the dates. I figured as much but since United has a free 24 hour window to cancel I was ok. I re-booked the trip and will be flying out Monday afternoon and coming back Thursday early morning. The first flight was Sunday to Wednesday, which would have been a drag on the weekend since D's parents are here now. I'll be doing a 2-day workshop at Seattle Children's Hospital which it just north of UW (U-Dub, whatever happened to U-Dub-step?), which is maybe 5 miles from D's brother & his husband. So I'll be staying with them and the dogs while I'm there.
That was towards the end of the work day. Before that, I got on the trainer for a 2 hour jaunt through the hills of London and spent the bulk of the time texting with my boss helping him with a proposal we're doing for Mayo Clinic. We came to a number but were then told by sales that it was too high. In the end I don't know why the sales guys ask us anything. They should just make up a number they want to see and go with it.
After dinner I sat with Julia and helped her make this castle that I got for Xmas a few years ago. I found it relaxing to just sit and pull the little pieces she needed for each step. Now and again it's good to take some down time to do something simple like this. I wish every time the kids asked what to do, I had an answer such as, "Hey, you want to build this with me?" No matter how much they had previously wanted to play with their iPads, they're always more than happy to do this instead.
