[2018] 353/365: Lunch at a Familiar Place

I have exciting news that cannot be shared yet! But I will once everything is finalized. I also had lunch in a familiar place. 

Other than that work has been very tedious but I’m getting so much done lately since Prisila has been taking care of the kids more, giving me more time to focus on my deadlines.

Couple of days left before it’s Christmas break! Eek! Can’t wait to see Emmy!

[2018] 351/365: Traffic and Pretty Skies

The gorgeous sky makes up for the two-hour traffic today. I am hoping to move out so that I won’t be in this situation soon. Aiming for a year but we’ll see. Maybe I’ll rent a place instead of buy because I’m poor.

Work has it’s highs and lows. Mostly highs lately but I am not sure how long that will last until it comes crashing down again. I can only cross my fingers and hope that all goes well, at least until the new year.

Sissy and BIL came over super early to have breakfast with me and the parents at the Black Bear Diner. It’s easily one of my favourite chicken fried steak places but I told myself to change it up and got the Scrambowl. I am not a fan of their biscuits only because I never liked biscuits to begin with.

[2018] 350/365: Rizzo Cuddles

The boys went home and the girls went to Target to shop. When I got home I cuddled with Rizzo for a bit and he fell asleep on me and he was too cute that I didn’t move even though I had a lot to do.

I received my Christmas present from Patricia! A necklace with a heart and infinity. I’m very excited to have a makeup organizer. A better one than what I have now. Eeek! Now I just need to clean my room before I can actually use it. Need to find a place for it. Thanks, Patricia!!!

[2018] 349/365: Give a Smile

This morning was SO relaxing. I haven’t had a morning like this in years. The whole house was to myself and it was just me and the pups. I enjoyed a cup of tea in front of the tree while watching a new Hong Kong drama.

If you have nothing else to give, give a smile.

Rocky decided to spend more time with me today and even jumped up on my bed and took a long, long nap. He hasn’t done that in a while and I guess Rizzo was feeling a little jealous that I was giving so much attention to Rocky that he decided to come out of the burrow of blankets so that I would pet him too. We don’t deserve such kind, loving hearts. Sigh …

I spent the day playing with the pups, laying around with the pups, drawing, playing the guitar, writing a new song, and watching my Hong Kong drama. I am finding myself again and it’s quite lovely getting so much time to myself. I know soon, I’d want to get out of the house again but for the time being, saving money is and added plus.

[2018] 347/365: Happy Hour

We don’t really do many happy hours so when Vicky invited me to dinner at Tejas Grill with her and her husband, Clayton, then Happy Hours with other people at his work I said yes without hesitation.

She ended up asking Salim and Kieran as well for the happy hour at Reserve 101 and they said yes! We sat talking about work and music and life and it was quite nice.

After a couple of old fashioned drinks and few hours later the boys and I said goodbye while the others went on to another happy hour. It was nice to get out of the office and just relax with a cold one in our hands.
