Quarantine/Routine

Things have been a little rough around the Gottwood home for the last two weeks as both Jeremy and I fought off what was either a version of Plague or a bad cold (depending on whose opinion you want).  It is just now getting to the point where we are both feeling better (if not quite back to our normal selves). 

We're also settling into a pretty predictable back-to-school routine.  We both get up early and head to work/school.  When we get home we eat dinner together and catch up.  After dinner, we sit at the coffee table and both do our work.  If we're feeling especially crazy, we might watch a half hour of tv before bed.   Sounds pretty exciting, doesn't it? :)

Now that Jeremy is no longer house husband, we've gone back to our cook-on-the-weekends, reheat-during-the-week method of feeding ourselves.  Not last weekend, but the one before, we spent four hours and made enough dinners and lunches for two weeks.  We'll do the same thing this coming weekend.  It is kind of a slog to plan that many meals, do the shopping, and all the cooking all at one time, but it makes our lives during the week possible.  It's also nice to know that even when we're super-busy we're getting good, homemade, healthy meals.

So clearly, there's nothing too exciting going on over here.  Our big excitement over the weekend was getting a new belt for the vacuum cleaner (actually, that may have been more gross than exciting - we realized exactly how little cleaning our vacuum had been doing for the past few months).  The other day I was talking to my brother on the phone and he made the claim that "married people are boring".  I tried to convince him otherwise, but later in the conversation I said "I should go, Jeremy just got up from his nap, so we're going to reheat dinner and watch Jeopardy".  John pointed out that I wasn't doing a very good job of representing for "cool" married people.  I claim that our boring-ness comes from being old, not married :)
