Evie Day 613
Good morning, and a happy Monday to you all. Today is 18 November 2024.
I woke up at 5:30 and hopped into the shower to start the day. I got myself dressed, threw on a polo and a cardigan, and bent my ear to listen to the sound of the rain coming down. I went to the kitchen, strolling by Lisa, already up, already working, drank my two big 24 oz glasses of water (a good way to start the day), then sat down on the couch by the floofs.
Somebody ought to write a song about November rain.
Sports guy Bob had a good weekend, for the most part. Friday night was a bummer, as the KU Women’s Soccer team fell in the first round of the NCAA tournament to #8 Saint Lewis. The Kansas City Chiefs lost on the road at Buffalo, which I’m not too worried about (the last two times the Chiefs had regular-season losses to the Bills, the Chiefs ended up winning the Superbowl). The Kansas City Current also lost to the Orlando Pride in the second round of the NWSL playoffs. The wins made up for some of the setbacks, as the KU basketball team took a W against Oakland, the KU volleyball team swept Baylor 3-0, and the Kansas Jayhawks went on the road Saturday night to earn the win against the undefeated BYU Cougars. There is still a chance that KU could make a bowl game if they win their next two… one game against Colorado, and another against Baylor.
I have an interesting week at work. I will still be delivering one one-day class this week, but I will also be attending a Security Analyst class to prepare for a certification exam that I’ll tackle before the end of the month. I’ll revisit that sort of schedule in December, as I’ll sit another class on Identity and Access Administration. My schedule doesn’t allow me to sit for four consecutive days, so I’ll need to ensure I fill in the gaps independently.
It’s crazy to think that we’re in the second half of November already, and Thanksgiving is next week, and Christmas is only 5 or 6 weeks out.
Lisa made a couple of great breakfasts this weekend, and I am grateful for the leftovers. One was a savory breakfast loaf filled with bacon, ham, cheese, and some other breakfast favorites. The other was good old cinnamon rolls. Last night she got creative with some spicy sausage, cream cheese, and Rotel to make some rather interesting meat pucks… not exactly a meatball, a little flatter, but very tasty. Even though they were made for dinner, I think they would also go very well with eggs for breakfast.
The coffee pot if calling my name. Time to throw some beans in the Ninja.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
