On Sunday the broiler element in the oven popped and tried to catch fire. We acted fast, the building is safe. Ruined the makings for a damn fine fritatta breakfast. Denied bacon! I flipped the breaker switch to the stovetop to be sure. We lucked out and got a dinner invitation that night and did not have to worry about anything. Maintenance has been here, everything is fixed and now we clean. Am quite pooped though and taking a break. Am using a mix of one pint hot water, 2 tsp Dr Bonner's, and 2tsp borax. Mix in a spray bottle, spritz all over oven and let it sit 20 minutes before wiping up. Works pretty good, but will have to work on it a little more throughout the week.
Also over the weekend, DH and I walked 5+ miles. He of course did the plus. Two miles on the centennial trail beginning at 9 mile dam on Saturday. Three (for me) on the trail starting from our front door. Tired and actually got a little bit of a sunburn. Am hoping to make walks a regular part of the weekend now.
Today...well crap. There were 44 first appearances on the calendar. More than double what we usually have. Damned new procedures. One of the jury team is on vacation and the primary/top dog/head cheese person does not want to do the coverage that she should. She is FLSA exempt and gets 5 extra personal days per year to do this sort of thing. I am salary treated as hourly and expire after my 7.50 hours. She was actually slamming things around when she realized she really needed to stay. Not my fault or problem that she could not leave early. Tomorrow should be just dandy. She is going to try and leave early again. Joy.
