Phew, I'm exhausted!
The workweek wasn't too bad, especially the last two days with our PC being out. Not going to lie, I definitely wanted to call out on Thursday. It took every fiber of my being not to do so - with me being so exhausted and it being so incredibly cold. I also had zero patience left. Several things have been aggravating me lately and I really wish they didn't because it has to do with the actions and behaviors of others. I will definitely be working on that. I have to accept that I'm not everyone's cup of tea. I've always known that, just have to work on accepting it now. People are so negative and judgmental, it's insane. I have to go back and reflect for sure because it's a them problem, not a me problem in terms of being incessantly negative and judgmental. My only problem in that scenario is learning to be unbothered by those people because they are irrelevant and you can't change the actions and behaviors of others. It's just really disheartening to see so much ugly in the world.
Moving on - I got up super early this yesterday morning. I went grocery shopping, came home and put it all up, took a shower, skipped out to the doctors, went to the vape shop, came home and made lunch, did dishes and a load of laundry, watched a movie while I ate lunch, almost fell asleep during said movie, took a two hour nap, then went and got Japanese with Jay when he got home from work. I picked up some apple cider and Reese's hot cocoa because you know, fall things. I'm making loaded baked potato soup this weekend and brought some French bread to go with it for our dinner for the week. I just have a few more household chores to do today and then I'm spending the rest of the weekend relaxing. I have my on-site interview on Monday which is super exciting - I have both my fingers and toes crossed for that!
At the doctors yesterday, I had some skin lesions looked at. I had seven new ones that showed up on my back. I had one on my left breast for awhile, but never paid any mind to it. I figured maybe I should get them looked at just in case. Doctor is only really concerned about the potential of one on my back, but said it doesn't need immediate action at this time. He did say that due to the fact that I have numerous moles, I do have to be monitored closely like, once or twice a year. I told him that I was going to stop my Diclofenac while I was there and he's fine with that. So, now I'm down to only three medications. He wants me to stay on Nucynta and Baclofen just a little bit longer due to that I just had my back procedures not too long ago and wants to give it more time.
Wednesday evening, we went to Wendy's to try the Spongebob crabby patty meal which came with a burger with secret sauce, a medium fry and pineapple frosty. It was okay, but I wish the pineapple syrup was swirled into the frosty, but it was settled at the bottom. What really fascinated me was the customer service! The two ladies working that day were so incredibly kind and personable. I thanked them for that and told them to never change because it's definitely a lost past-time to have exceptional customer service and I had a long day that day, so it was refreshing and nice for sure. I even contacted Wendy's and told them about my experience.
Yesterday at the grocery store, I had an older lady chatting me up in the cat food isle which a lot of people can't stand but I've come to enjoy it, so long as I have time. If I have the time, I make the time. It's nice to talk to other people, especially those you don't know. She asked me if my cats were just as picky as hers and told me how she is currently taking care of about twenty neighborhood cats. Bless her heart for being so kind. We exchanged friendly banter back and forth until I finished picking out all the food I needed for the week for my cats and then parted ways. She was such a kind person. After Jay's mom passed, it's definitely made me appreciate the more simple things in life.
I'm going to insert a photo dump here of things from my week:
I've had a few good conversations this week with my best-friend and my cousin that I haven't spoken to in awhile. Japanese was absolutely delicious last night. I love fried sushi. It's becoming sweatshirt weather which I also love. Work had a pretty decent lunch menu this past week and next weeks menu looks good next week too. They gave out cupcakes with pink frosting for breast cancer awareness month and it was so yummy! Jay's friend is suppose to come back over Sunday and get the rest of the yard debris. Like I said, I got some cooking to do, one more load of laundry and will probably vacuum and wash the floors but other than that, I'm going to lounge around and maybe play some video games, work in my word search book some more and do some reading. I'm also going to prime my 3D prints that my cousin sent me. This coming pay period, I'm going to buy the paints for them. I'm very excited for that!
