Leaving Dad with Good Garlic Chicken for the Next Few Days While I Return to CT to Regroup, Organize, and Return.

Having a Wegman's down the street is a blessing and the Kansas BBQ sauce in a crock pot with drumsticks, garlic, and Buck's season makes for melt-in-your-mouth chicken that is perfect with vegetables and pasta or rice. For some reason, Mom and Dad had a tray of 16 sticks needing to be cooked, so I threw them in and ta-da. Deliciousness. 

Sad to see both Fairfield Women's and Louisville Men's team go down in the tournament. Excited for Syracuse and Louisville's Women's teams, though. Keeps me engaged with he madness of March. 

I probably should have spent more time grading and planning for the week ahead, but cleaning my sister's room for two days to organize for their sleepovers and parental cares took a lot of time and energy. I did the bathroom last night, as well, hoping the house will be left in good condition for a...hopefully...Monday return. As Mike fixed (or attempted to fix) Mom's chair, Karal loved hunting for Bridge Mix, chips, and pretzels that fell from inside the chair when we tipped it over to try to re-attached the wood frame on the left arm. .

I think Dad enjoyed the day of basketball, although he changes the channel and can never find his way back to what he was watching. 

I've been wearing the same four outfits for two weeks now, and to be honest, they are most comfortable clothes. I wish we only needed to wear sweatpants and pull overs. 

Not sure when I'm taking off...might walk Karal before I go, since I didn't get her to the streets yesterday. Prayers for easy traffic on my return.

Ate Varsity Pizza again after a long, long while. I'm happy to see it is still open on the hill, and it was nice to meet Melissa and her...
