Crappy week

This is kind of a "woe is us" kind of post.  So, if you're one of those people that can't handle whining, you probably should skip this so as not to be oober annoyed with me.

Today is kind of a rough week for us.  Jake has a major paper this week, and it has required him to be at the library as much as possible.  Since the library isn't open on Sundays, I got out the apartment for a while and hung out with a friend so he could stay home and work on the paper.  I don't work the first half of the week, so I've really missed social interaction, especially since Jake is never here (but I still have lots to do!).  Because he's busy, I was trying to plan meals that don't take a lot of time so he can eat quickly and then get back to the paper.

The problem is, I work over the dinner hour the latter half of the week.  It's kind of making cooking especially complicated since we have to have easy, ready-made meals for pretty much the whole week.  I miss sitting down to dinner and eating together!  That hasn't really happened since I started my current job.  On top of that, we've agreed to dog/house sit for a couple we know from church on Wed-Sat.  So not only are the meals hard to navigate, we'll be driving home to do any cooking since we don't want to have to bring all the ingredients there.

I'm really hoping that those dogs are worth it because navigating cooking, not seeing Jake at all because of the paper and working opposite schedules, and figuring out when we are going to fit our runs in is a bit complicated.  If you could pray for and encourage Jake as he tries to finish up his paper, and that I don't go insane trying to plan a weird week, I'd appreciate it.

Woe is us. :)
