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!

Today started with a nice chicken and waffles and other things for breakfast. The office decided on Breakfast Klub. They have one of my favourite fried chicken. Everything hit the spot expect for the potatoes. I really wanted to like them but it wasn’t flavourful enough.

Today was also the day I had my first stressful day at work. It’s surprising, right? It’s been less than a month and I’m already ready to fight. Haha Just kidding. But I’ve never had someone yell at you and tell you to learn to listen better all because I asked a question. Sigh … I’m going to have to learn a different way to talk to her because nothing is working.

[2018] 145/365: Heartfelt Sunset

No worries though because once I left work, vented to my loves, I headed to Dallas and saw this gorgeous sunset. It made my heart super happy.

I’m extremely happy because I was able to get this shot in a moving car, don’t worry, I wasn’t driving, and I get to have family time and above all else, spend time with my niece.

This morning wrecked havoc on my anxiety. I was navigating through streets to find the building of where my conference was going to be at and one wrong turn ended me in the school drop-off lane. It was an elementary school which meant teachers or parent helpers were helping the kids out the car by opening the doors. It was super awkward when the lady came to my door and there was no kid. haha

I ended up being early stopping at Walgreens before going into the building where I was greeted with breakfast from Pappa’s BBQ. After three presentations and a break, it was time for lunch.

I think they have some kind of contract with Pappa’s because we ended up having Pappasito’s delivered for lunch! I forgot how delicious their meats are!

[2018] 144/365: Cuddles with Rizzo

A few more presentations and Q&A later, grabbing a free water thermos, I was well on my way to the Mexican market to buy taco meats for Scruffy. Then it was time to cuddle with Rizzo. Scruffy and Luna came later for dinner with the parents then a guitar session before he took Rizzo home with him for Memorial weekend.

I cannot wait to see my niece! EEEEEP!!
