A peaceful Saturday morning ramble

sereneThis ramble will be less verbose than usual, and mostly unedited, because I'm sitting with my feet up, using James's iPad, so typing's a pain in the ass.
Woke at 6 this morning and didn't bother trying to go back to sleep, because this quiet, alone time is my favorite. This weekend is the Big Cook, so I have a lot to do, but the whole weekend to do it in.
Got my prize money. Bought lots of groceries, schoolbooks, and a home gym, along with putting some in savings. James and I have been exercising up a storm, and I've had normal blood pressure for 13 days straight! When we moved up here, he left his exercise machine behind, and we've been wanting one since, so when I saw one for half price with free shipping, I went for it.
The menu for the cook this time is:
Bean-and-cheese burritos
Tuna casserole
Pot pies (vegetarian)
Hummus
Chickpea gravy
Chili
Seitan
Did I mention my mom's Thanksgiving visit went very well? We only got in one real argument. A pretty bad one, but we recovered quickly.
It's my belief that the kid stopped going to school a while ago and has been pretending she's going. If this is the case, we'll be asking her to move out 30 days after grades come out on January 3rd. This is sad for me, but it's okay. She's 20 and we do her no good if we enable her to go through life doing absolutely nothing besides playing her game and sleeping. We gave her someplace safe and calm to be when she needed it, and we made it clear that going to school or working was her end of the deal.
And speaking of school, my first quarter is over, yay! My grades are excellent, I have a month off, and I went around all happy and bouncy with relief yesterday. No homework for a month!
I've been reading your journals and rarely commenting. Please forgive me. I look forward to engaging more from now until mid-January when school starts back up.
