Nothing here but my musings about daily life, books, anime, and food.
I think I have been pretty open about me not liking mornings. Not at all. Not even a little bit. Period. Even if I had coffee or anything with caffeine, it does not change my mood. I mean, I might not be snarky with people, but it does not change the fact that I hate mornings. What I hate even more? Having to wake up and get ready quick so I can make it to an early morning meeting, only to find out that the meeting got canceled last minute. Yeah.
Busy day at work, we had a lot more samples today than usual. But we finished processing. I honestly thought that we would have some backlog but yeah, we did all of them.
My love and I decided to watch You’ve Got Mail. Still one of my favorites, I tend to watch this movie over and over when it’s available. And I am glad that I got to share it with him. To be honest, I’m actually surprised that he liked it. But yay! I’m not complaining about it.
We also watched a couple of episodes of Fairy Tail. I’m still on defense on this one. It seems fun, but I’m not invested in it yet. Artwork reminds me of some other animes. We’ll see, if my hun wants to watch it, I’ll watch it.
Then we just watched a bunch of House episodes. I cannot believe House and Stacy tried to rekindle their relationship. I really think that House and Cuddy should be together. I feel like they would make a couple. I love Wilson. He is such the perfect work hubby for House. I’m still PMS-ing so I was triggered by Foreman this time. I think everything he did in all of the episodes tonight annoyed the crap out of me.
Planning on reading a bit before I sleep today. I have not been able to read in a couple of days I think. So I kind of want to read a bit. But yeah, tomorrow might be busy. Planning on shaving Paco a little bit before giving him a bath. Phoebe also needs a bath. Baths might happen on Sunday though.
Disclaimer: This will be a short post. Like really short.
I’m feeling a bit off. And my brain seems like its telling me that it wants to shut down. I think I’m kind of tired of being in meetings. Everyday meetings. It’s very exhausting. My brain feels empty at the moment.
The only time that I felt alive today was when I was watching some House episodes with my love. Cameron was annoying me in the last episodes. I feel like she was very judgmental on that one episode. And kept complaining why she wasn’t even asked if she wanted to lead the diagnostics team. First off, I understand that we are all human and we all pass judgment, but damn she was just very righteous in that one episode with the cyclist. It was grating on my nerves. Then the last episode, what does she really think Cuddy will do? Ask her to lead a team where she went on a date with her boss, and slept with another member of that team… Really? It’s not because you’re a woman Cameron, but your judgment is kind of questionable.
Also, I’m PMS-ing and I think I’m going to nitpick at anything right now. And I guess today, I nitpick at Cameron.
I mean, I think I’ve been pretty open about my hate for mornings. And what I hate even more about mornings? Having to be at work an hour earlier because people decided that a meeting should be scheduled that early. I hate going to the office knowing that I would need to be in a meeting minutes after I turn off the security alarm. And that’s a normal day! This morning was rough. And tomorrow morning will be rough as well.
I was tired most of the day. Tomorrow, I will need to stop by to get coffee.
I went to the MD after work today. It was just a check up with my allergy/asthma doctor. I did tell her that my allergies have been really flaring up lately…And she said she was not surprised. My environmental allergies. She said tree pollen is bad right now. She also said, that my biggest environmental allergens are dog and cat dander. And then she asked if I have dogs. Of course I do! She just told me to keep the dogs away from my face. I just smiled. Because that may be a bit difficult.
My hun and I watched Leap Year with Amy Adams and Matthew Goode. It was charming. And my love said that I like my cheesy rom coms. And I was like, yes I do! We then watched another episode of Bob’s Burgers. We just finished season 11 episode 4. We are catching up albeit slowly. I think there are only 12 seasons, so we almost there.
I’m planning on reading a bit before sleeping if I don’t pass out first. I feel like I might be too tired. My head is feeling heavy. But this book is very fast paced. I feel like there is always something happening to Forrest in every chapter.
Spoiler Alert
Forrest is now in space…With a male ape and a woman named Major Fritch.
End of Spoiler
I think that’s it for today.
I’m pretty sure I’m not the only who feels this right? RIGHT? I’m done complaining, I think the last few posts made it clear how much I hate weekdays.
Today has been lazy. Well I’ve been lazy. I did not want to do anything but I did force myself to do the stuff that I needed to do. Folded laundry. Washed dishes. Threw away trash. It has been raining all day as well which I love. One of the real reasons why I moved to the Pacific Northwest, Southern California is just too damn hot and dry.
Remember when I said that my brain has been plagued with thoughts of fried eggs? Yeah, I gave in this morning. I scrambled some egg yolks. I’m allergic to egg whites. It was different. It’s definitely flatter compared to I decided to leave the egg whites in there. But I’ll take it. I’ll probably have some more again when I get the craving for eggs again.
My hun and I hung out again today. Just got off a while ago. We watched John Wick. Well, rewatch for the both us. I remember loving the movie but I did forget what the movie was about. I did remember some parts but not the full movie. So I’m glad I got to watch it again, this time enjoying the movie with him. He says it’s one of his favorite movies so I’m really happy that we got to enjoy the movie together.
We also watched episodes 2 and 3 of The Dropout. I will never forgive the decisions made by the CEO of the company. I’m sorry. I just cannot on principle. I will never accept it. There was no excuse. I know we are still pretty early on the series but I read the book, watched the documentaries about it. I just cannot.
We watched episodes 3 to 5 of House MD season two. I really love the show. I mean, as long as there are no unnecessary story arcs, I would be okay. My hun said we can skip some episodes if I get annoyed like what we did with the Vogler episodes.
I feel like this is a short post. Not really surprised, nothing was really going on today. Just regular lazy weekend things. My allergies are also pretty bad. It’s been pretty bad lately to be honest. My throat has been itchy, my neck, my scalp and sometimes my chest. My eyes have been swollen for a few weeks now. And my T-zone is red. I have an appointment with my asthma/allergy MD this week so hopefully she can suggest something.
I know. I KNOW. This is what adulthood looks like. You go to work on weekdays. Then you do chores on weekends. And if you want to really unwind, you take your PTO days to either go somewhere else or just do a staycation. And come back to work with a shiton of catching up and messes to deal with. This makes this the vacation not even worth it. Yeah. I know, I’m just bitching to be honest.
As planned, I went to the store to do some grocery shopping. I stopped by USPS to pick up a box from Book of the Month. And I got a carwash – about time too. I just finished cooking rice and ground beef cooked in tomato sauce with potatoes, peas, and carrots. Don’t know what’s the name of it. I just kind of put together something. And it worked.
I have been making steady progress in reading Forrest Gump. Thank you. About halfway through the book which is good. I must say, Forrest is an interesting character. This character had experienced more than what a regular person might experience in a lifetime. Definitely colorful experiences.
Like I said earlier, my Book of the Month got delivered – well I picked the package up, but you know what I mean. I got two books for May. Darling Girl by Liz Michalski, a fantasy book, which is a reimagining of Peter Pan; and Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner, a memoir. I might pick up the memoir after I finish Forrest Gump. Hard to commit on it though, being a mood reader has its disadvantages for sure. I was leaning towards non fiction after reading Bad Blood and My Friend Anna. But Forrest Gump hasn’t disappointed yet. So I will continue reading this one until I’m done before I even think of what’s the next read.
My goal for next week is to definitely cook more. I enjoyed eating out and its nice, but when it all comes down to it, it’s $$$. Well I guess, the more accurate thing to say is I need to not be lazy to cook. That’s the thing that’s really stopping me from cooking. Laziness.
Tonight was date night. We started a little later than usual but it was okay. We still burned through a lot of House MD episodes. And yes, we had to skip the rest of the episodes in Season 1 where Vogler made an appearance. He annoyed the heck out of me to the point that I refused to even watch the show. It was such a useless addition. Unnecessary story arc. I don’t care what anyone else say, that kind of annoyance was needed on the show. My hun basically told me what happened in the episodes that we skipped.
It’s currently 11:30 pm and I’m still doing laundry. I had a late start this morning. And I had about an hour after all the errands that I just lazy’d it up. So, yeah. All good though. Almost done.
My brain only wants to hate on this week as suggested by my titles for the weekdays. It was really unfortunate when I realized that it was only Thursday Night. Yeah, I have nothing else to say. But the disappointment was real.
I am not going to post about work. I got annoyed, got stressed, and vented. I was very vocal about my dissatisfaction with the increasing expectations from my team having to flag this and that. Put this shit on hold and check this and that. It was a mess. And I had to put down my foot on one of the process changes and said – No, my team will not check results to determine eligibility. That is beyond my team’s scope. It felt good to say No. That is one thing that I like about this job. I’m learning to say no and advocate a lot for the welfare of the team. And the stakeholders listen. It’s nice.
I was picked to take part in a project – data pulls for clinicians. And they said depending on evaluation, this might be something that can turn to its own team. It’s exciting. We’ll see how that goes.
My hun and I hung out today! Yay! We watched Fun with Dick and Jane with Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni. That was a fun movie. I like the realness of the situation – getting screwed by corporations, employees suffering, employees losing their jobs, and the struggle of finding a new job. Love the ending, the CEO getting screwed into donating $400M to that company’s employee relief fund. Such a nice ending.
We also started watching The Dropout on Hulu. The show is about Elizabeth Holmes and the journey of building Theranos. My hun says so far he likes this better than Inventing Anna. I’m interested in this one too. I just recently finished Bad Blood, consumed the available documentaries in streaming services regarding this company and what they did. And being in healthcare – in the diagnostics business for so long, yeah, I’m invested.
We got to watch an episode of Bob’s Burgers as well! So that was nice and relaxing.
I’m finally able to read Forrest Gump last night. So much happened already with Forrest and I’m only in chapter eight. I cannot wait to finish this one soon as well.
Tomorrow is Friday. Finally. For some reason, this week felt too long.
