Catch Up with Rose

January 27, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Having a Friday off really does help in having a more relaxing weekend. I was able to tackle more of my errands Friday and enjoy doing a whole lot of nothing during the weekend.

I met up with Rose today for dinner at Dimassi’s to catch up. I haven’t had Meditteranean in a long while and it’s obviously not the best but it was close enough to satisfy my taste buds.

Afterward, we headed back to her house to hang out with her daughters. I cannot believe I’ve known her for 12 years come May! And to watch her daughters grow up has been unbelievable too. The youngest one already has a mind of her own and it’s wonderful to watch. Soon enough they won’t care to hang out with me and have their own lives. Sigh … stop growing up.

One of the greatest things I took from seeing Rose was hearing that my old boss, Andrew, was very excited and happy for me in finding a permanent position at the company and all the praise he gave about how wonderful I am. He even asked if I went back to get my masters since Engineering Tech isn’t easy. I can sleep easy knowing my old boss believes in me even though we don’t keep in touch.

Music | Italy by Lisa Cimorelli

January 26, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

I’ve been listening to Cimorelli forever ago. I loved that they were a family who just enjoyed singing together and when she started to record her own songs I felt them all. This is a new song she just came out with this week and I am already in love because I can understand it so well in my own way.

I already walked away and said goodbye,
And you’re already back to make me cry
It hurts so bad how much I can’t trust you
You say I mean more to you than I could know,
But you’re always gonna let me go

Pennsylvania Here I Come!

Today was my first OFFICIAL day at my new job. Erin was out sick so it was tough not having someone to talk to all day but I got a lot of work done. I’m just super excited that it’s my Friday off. I cannot wait. I’m not sure what I’ll be doing yet but a massage sounds super nice right about now. Maybe even a bit of shopping to update my wardrobe.

I also heard layoffs are happening at my old job and it makes me SO angry. They gave me an offer before I got the one I’m at now. If they knew layoffs were happening, why did they offer me a full-time position? It’s a little ridiculous and I’m glad I left when I did. I miss the people but the company wasn’t doing well and my boss wasn’t a great one. She’s cool to talk to but work was a different story. I wish everyone the best and that they all make it out alive.

This has literally been me since Scruffy and I broke up. Add on songwriting, singing, guitar playing, and visiting friends and that would be me to a T. It’s been a hard trying to find myself again now that I don’t have the other half attached to me at all times. I don’t have someone to rely on and someone to help me through my days but I’d like to believe I’ve grown a lot and that’s all that matters.

Apurva is getting married in April in New Jersey but flying into Pennsylvania is much cheaper and closer. I’ve been waiting for the right time to book the flights and this morning I did just that along with the hotel. It’ll be my first trip flying solo and I’m glad I get half a day or so to spend with Apurva before all the festivities start. I’m also super happy Liliana agreed to be my date and is willing to drive so many freaking hours to see me and about our road trip back to her now hometown after the wedding so that she can show me around. She joked that she’ll be my stand-in date just in case I find a boy in time. That’s obviously not going to happen and if it did, I still would not miss a chance to spend quality time with her! Time to plan our road trip, Lily! New memories here we come!

Lazy Sundays with Rizzo

Today has been such a lazy day. I slept in due to sleeping SO late last night and I love that Rizzo never complains to get up because he needs to pee or eat. I know he’s starting to look scraggly. He’ll get a haircut soon!

I spent a while last night and today working, catching up on everything. Tomorrow will officially be my first day and the other new hire who started in December will be back from his vacation. He is on the same boat as me. Though we will be doing different things, we both did not get enough time with our predecessor.

Luckily I was able to watch a few Hong Kong drama episodes today. I hope work settles down a bit to where I get to leave at a reasonable time and be able to do things after work like I used to. I’m also thinking of waking up early and working out. Does anyone want to be my workout partner? I wish my friends live closer. Sigh …

Fifteen Years of Friendship

January 19, 2019 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Last night I had a mother-daughter date night. We went to Thai Cottage for dinner then Sprouts to buy groceries. It’s been a while since it was just the two of us so it was nice getting that time together.

When I got home, I had a VERY long video chat with Noah. It’s funny how we can go from talking about life to us both just looking at cute Panda and Polar Bear comics and sending them to one another. Since we both broke up with someone recently we have been leaning on one another so it’s nice to have a friend in that aspect.

Chuck E. Cheese with Mallory, JJ, and John

This morning I met Mallory, JJ, and John at Chuck E. Cheese. We had our favourite pizzas. JJ is not afraid of riding the rides anymore and he even reached out to hold my hand and asked me for help. I felt so loved! I had a few good minutes of having JJ in my custody while his parents competed with one another on basketball. It was a great time.

We went back to their house and I just relaxed with Mallory talking and watching telly. The bottom right picture popped up on Mallory’s Timehop so I decided to make a collage of a couple pictures I found in my phone. Top picture was almost three years ago, bottom left was almost twelve years ago, and the bottom right was six years ago. It’ll be fifteen years of friendship come August. It’s crazy how time flies. We both asked how we could get back to our skinny selves. Sigh ...

I’m currently working overtime trying to catch up on everything but mostly to rewrite notes. Why am I working so hard already? Help me. I need to get out more.
