edenfalling1. RE was still sick Thursday and Friday, which resulted in me working 11am-9pm on Thursday and MS staying 'til 5-ish instead of 4pm, and JM staying two hours late while PM came in two hours early on Friday, but we got his shifts covered with minimal fuss. And he got enough sleep that he was able to come in and work 12-9 today with nothing worse than residual tiredness and an occasional cough. So that is all right.

2. I do not like working Saturdays. I vastly prefer working Sundays. This is because I have no use for weekends in the conventional sense; what I use my days off for is running errands. And a lot of stores (and a lot of bus routes) are either not open/running or are on very short hours on Sundays... whereas on Saturdays, I have a much better chance of actually getting things done.
Anyway, the point I was getting to is that I worked 9am-5pm today, which meant I had to eat a very hurried dinner as I was walking home, make a fifteen-minute flying stopover to drop some stuff off and pick up my empty Coke cans, and catch the #13 to go grocery shopping -- the #13, you see, is one of the bus routes that doesn't run on Sundays. *sigh* That was less than ideal in terms of scheduling. My feet were quite sore by the time I properly got home.

3. Tangentially to that last item, if 'brunch' is a meal that is a bit late for breakfast but a bit early for lunch, what is a meal that falls between lunch and dinner, but doesn't really qualify as 'tea'?
I ask because I tend not to be a three-meal-a-day person: I am more of a four- or even five-meal-a-day person, but each 'meal' is fairly small. This leads to things like saying, "Well, I had a Nutri-grain bar for breakfast, a bag of Cheez-its and a couple mini York peppermints for lunch, a grilled cheese sandwich with red pepper and artichoke for early dinner, and a Stouffers microwave stromboli for late dinner, and I might have some olives and Ritz crackers -- or some cherry strudel bites -- as a midnight snack if I'm stupid and stay up too late."
But 'early dinner' and 'late dinner' sound stupid, and a grilled cheese sandwich doesn't really strike me as fitting the implied connotations of 'high tea' -- even though I do tend to drink tea in the afternoon and evening when I am at work...
Oh well, it's a minor issue.
(Yes, I am aware my eating habits are not especially healthy. I don't especially care. I do drink fruit juice and walk at least 45 minutes every day, and I am not overeating, which has done well enough for me thus far. If I could eat raw fruit, or if I trusted and/or liked raw vegetables, I would eat better snacks, but since I can't eat a lot of healthy stuff unless I cook it, and I dislike cooking... eh.)

Date: 2010-10-10 02:22 am (UTC)if we got home (around 5) and ate immediately, that was dinner 1.
Around 8 or 9, the hunger would strike again, and Dinner 2 was produced and consumed.
The menu was wildly varied, and consisted of anything from 2nd helpings of whatever dinner 1 was, to
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, to cheezits and ice cream.
So, early dinner and late dinner sound reasonable to me.
Traditionally, in the farming community, the early evening meal was dinner, and the later was supper.
I am on a reduced calorie diet, and food tends to capture my attention.
