[2018] 151/365: KFC

Work has been brutal but I was able to look forward to getting away. Scruffy came to drop off Luna after I got home from work and we headed to Galveston.

This is my first trip with his family and we were able to borrow their friend’s beach house. I’m not too sure what is planned so we’ll see how it goes.

Scruffy’s opened one part to his presents because he couldn’t wait. I can’t wait for him to open the rest. I’m not sure if he’ll love it but hopefully he likes it enough to use it all. Eeep!!

I’m ready to relax. Until tomorrow! Bye.

When I walked into the breakroom my heart was a little broken to see we were having quiche. But when I took that first bite, I took back all my thoughts. It was very delicious. It was funny because the guy I went to grab it with said he had the same feelings until he took his first bite. This goes to show, don’t judge food by their looks.

Work has been tough the past few days and last week and it doesn’t seem to be letting up. I try not to let it get to me but it’s so hard when it’s your reputation on the line and when your work ethic is to always do 110% and someone isn’t letting you. Sigh … I guess only my perfectionists will understand.

[2018] 150/365: Michelle & Meeting Claire

I left work, went home and picked up my presents to Claire and headed over to Michelle’s house. They were finally in town and I finally got to meet Claire! She was born last September and I keep forgetting that it’ll be a year soon. Crazy. We didn’t do much but catch up, watch The Wiggles, and eat Chinese takeout.

Since they don’t have family around where they live, Michelle needs all the help she can get and seeing Matt be hands-on confirmed that. It made me so happy to see them be such great parents to little ole Miss Fussbucket, as Michelle calls her.

It was so nice to get to touch Michelle. I know, that sounds weird, but when you miss your friend, you want to hold them tight and never let them go. I keep telling myself, just a few more years and they’ll be moving back. By then Claire will be four and well, I’m ready. Counting down the days till they’re back forever.

You would say I’m obsessed with Wok & Roll but I think I’m just comfortable knowing it’s fast and easy. Per usual, I ate a bit from the box, ate the eggroll, drank the soup and saved the rest for tomorrow’s lunch.

I was able to talk to my boss about my “stressful” Friday. I hope in doing so it could get me some insight on how to communicate with her. Fingers crossed it all works out. I just want everyone to get along. Sigh … woosah… two more days until “vacation” to celebrate Scruffy’s birthday with his family.

[2018] 149/365: Crawfish for Days

Okay, maybe not for dayyyyyyyyys but two days is still a lot! I ate it for three meals! We all polished off the rest tonight at dinner and though they were tiny, a bit on the dirty side, I was thankful I had the luxury to even enjoy these little critters and have someone cook them for me.

The BetterBack Therapy was on SharkTank and I’ve always wanted to try it. I saw one of my co-workers using it to help with her sciatica pain. She said that it worked for her along with doing yoga so I went ahead and ordered myself one. I’ve used it for thirty minutes overall today and I will say my back does feel better. Time will tell if it actually works or if I need to return it.

I do want to do Barre or yoga classes and I’m wanting to find a workout place between home and work. But one thing at a time until my schedule is more settled.

Scruffy and Luna came over today bringing Rizzo home. He looks so happy to be back.

From what I hear, he was a great pup at thier house and I even received a text from Scruffy that he misses his follower because since I wasn’t around for Rizzo to follow, he chose to do it to Scruffy.

[2018] 148/365: My Man

June went and bought things to make for a crawfish boil as we were driving back down from Dallas.

But kudos to the best boyfriend ever. He slaved over the pot in this 100+ degree heat making us crawfish, shrimp, sausage, and veggies. He uses the ice chest steaming method for that amazing tenderness.

We have SO much leftover and I happily enjoyed more at dinner. I believe the best crawfish is when it’s had time to sit for the flavour to sink in.

It’s been a memorable Memorial Day but tomorrow it’s back to reality. Thankfully I took Friday off for the start of Scruffy’s birthday weekend. I cannot wait to give him his present!
