Today started off rough. It was so foggy. It wasn’t too bad in town, but once we got on the road it was like I was driving in a cloud. It got so bad at one point I just turned on my hazards and tried my best to see the road. I white knuckled it until I got back home.

Hannah wasn’t feeling well when she woke up so she didn’t go to class today. She started feeling better so we went to the gym for about an hour. I like working out at night so much better than the daytime. It’s so busy and just has a whole different vibe. Lucky for us Sprouts is in the same parking lot so we decided to treat ourselves to some sushi.

I haven’t really felt like cooking lately. It was feeling like I was just making the same things every week. I decided to get out my binder and do a little meal planning. I found 4 recipes that I wanted to make this week.

I made my list and headed to Aldi. I was pleasantly surprised when I found a parking space near the door and it didn’t even look too crowded. It started off bad when I walked through the door. People were not moving and going in all different directions. I finally got through that mess. The next issue was that there were older couples, like 5 of them, that were walking side by side and just randomly stopping. No one was smiling. Everyone just seemed so grumpy. One couple, who I kept having to say excuse me to, the woman was just mean mugging me the whole time I was shopping. She reminded me so much of this woman that I had an interaction with when I was an embalmer.

I worked the overnight shift at a funeral home in Austin. It was just myself and my embalming partner. We got a call to make a removal at a nursing home. He always liked to deal with the families and the paperwork while I did the embalming. Anyway, this was a very nice nursing home. It was very stately with dark wood and jewel tone colors. There was a woman sitting in a wheelchair in the reception area. She called me over. I always tried to be very nice to anyone I came into contact with on a call. She took my hand and told me that I reminded her of her daughter. She said it several times in a very sweet voice. Then she said, in a not so nice voice, I want to kill my daughter in the library. That was very unexpected and needless to say I pulled my hand away and went on my merry way. Working in the funeral business I have so many crazy stories.

Back to Aldi. I finally got checked out and was so happy to be out of there. It was just a strange day all around. People were driving crazily running red lights and not looking where they were going so I was happy to be headed home.

Since Donny has to work until 8 tonight I thought I’d make something super easy.

I would definitely bump up the temperature to 350.

I added onions because we just like them. I browned the mushrooms and onions in the skillet after I’d cooked and removed the meat.

It turned out good except for my wonky looking crust. After this very weird day I needed something easy.
