[2018] 284/365: Chorizo Taco

Sometimes you question your relationships, especially when it comes to those in the office. Are they being kind to you only because it’s the civil thing to do in the workplace or is it because they truly like you?

I was shocked this morning when little girl gave me one of her homemade tacos her mum made her. It warmed my heart (and my belly) that she’d offer one to me instead of another girl who she’s known for years.

I constantly question so many things in my head and with a simple act of kindness I’m given valadation and it all goes away. I know it’s a simple taco, but the simplest of things makes the world go round.

[2018] 283/365: Phone Call with Delisha

Not much of a picture but it means the world to me. Delisha called me on her birthday after I had sent her a birthday text but since I was already busy at work we had to make it short.

Tonight we spent three hours on the phone with catching up about our lives. I am so thankful for her and although she works seven days a week, she made time to have this chat with me. It’s been a long time coming so we had a lot to talk about but man, when a friendship just … works.

I remember when people would be skeptical about our relationship and tell me that it won’t last beyond the office. We have a pretty decent age gap but it never stopped us. I cried so hard when she got let go, like a piece of me died because I was losing someone who had seen my ups and downs. But it’s because of our shared ups and downs that made us stronger.

I cannot wait for our next catch up.

[2018] 282/365: Lazy Rizzo

I feel like Rizzo is my backup picture when I forget to take one since usually at this time he’s with me while I get ready for bed. He was also there when I helped set up dad’s new phone for over three hours earlier. He has so many apps and updates and such. It’s crazy. I was pooped by the time I was finished and told Mum to teach him how to use it. I am pooped and bed sounds amazing right now.

[2018] 281/365: Chicken Kabobs

Before dating Scruffy I was not a big fan of what you see here. It wasn’t a horrible meal but not one I would have liked. Being with him all these years kind of changed my taste buds. If it’s with his family, tadig became a staple when we eat chicken Kabobs and chargrilled tomatoes. I’m still not a lover of rice or tomatoes but when it comes to this, I’ll give it a pardon. Now if only they’ll make me that lamb shank you get from Caspian. Now that would be a feast.

[2018] 280/365: Home at Last

It’s my first night with Rizzo since he turned five. We cuddled and napped together since I’ve been back and I know he misses me too. I cannot imagine life without him. As he gets older I start thinking about it even though he has a while to go. I love you, baby boy.
