My days are starting to normalize and the added stress I incur is due to my own weariness to update my life and keep on top of things. When not at work, my eyes have been glued to the television set watching the tragedy in New Orleans unfold and get worse.More often than not, I... Continue Reading →
Sunday spree
Gas prices have been incredible. To fill my 15 gallon tank, I've been spending about $30 plus. It's not so bad that I need to fill my tank about every two weeks if I don't do any heavy driving. It's one advantage of living about 2 miles away from work and being so close to... Continue Reading →
Friday morning food prep work
It's 6 a.m. Friday morning. I'm brewing some strong coffee to get me through the day. Less than 12 hours ago, I was at work slaving away to meeting the Food section deadline. Still haven't completed the section and the person covering for the editor will be in at 9 a.m. to edit the pages.... Continue Reading →
A little time for myself
I hope this weekend brings a little time for myself. The past two weeks has been filled with overtime (seven hours plus), little sleep and stress. The extra money from overtime is great but after five hours, I'm wishing I had the day off. Further I think the tendonitis in my wrists are coming back... Continue Reading →
I could eat this three times a day
Got upset at my roommate for eating the last one this morning as I rushed off to work at the wee hour of 8 a.m. As penance, two were returned to me and I shared one with a coworker who is now addicted. The texture is like whipped cream but imagine chocolate flavored whipped cream...
Didn’t even last a week
During the summer months, ice cream is my vice. Doubly so if it's ice cream cake. My birthday ice cream was late by a month for several reasons but that didn't mean I didn't enjoy it as much as I usually do. The cake had coffee ice cream with white cake.No, no. This wasn't my... Continue Reading →
There’s something to be said for living near Hillcrest
Pride week in Hillcrest has come to a close. I knew it was officially the start of Pride weekend when I woke up Saturday morning to the sound of "Freedom" by Wham played by a passing car. I didn't participate in any activities such as the Gay Pride Parade or attend the Bow Wow Wow... Continue Reading →
Sick food favorites
Actually I think I'm finally on the mend. I was able to go to the gym this morning and a number of things before 7 a.m. I'm back my regular schedule. Since I had so much time on my hands this weekend, I focused on what I ate. Not the usual food it turns out... Continue Reading →
Aching to go anywhere…
Being ill and stuck at home has me aching to go someplace far from San Diego and far from my sick, hot, tired bed. I've been trying to catch up on my reading (JSA tradepaperbacks on insistence of a friend, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix again and various magazines that fill my... Continue Reading →
Still coughing
I'm still not at 100% healthwise. Today I managed to struggle through an entire day at work with short interludes of going to the bathroom to hack up a storm. I guess I've officially fallen off the wagon regarding my addiction to Nyquil in order for me to get a good night's rest. So I've... Continue Reading →
My Burning Kitchen... on the road
