Today was sort of a long day, to start it off I could not for the life of me get any more than one hour of sleep at a time - I kept waking up: I don't know if this was due to heat, that time, or even some sort of premonition about Monday that my subconscious was trying to warn me about.
The morning wasn't too hectic, but once I got to work: OOOOOOOOOOOO! Okay, so I like to leave work at the office whilst I am not there so I'm not going to go into any great detail over it, but it was busy, and on top of being busy there was an incident which shall be known henceforth as the Fiasco if Arrogant Disrespect.
The said Fiasco of Arrogant Disrespect set me back on productivity by about two hours, because someone somewhere along the lines dropped a ball down the well with Timmy.
Anyway, the point of this post is not the Fiasco of Arrogant Disrespect. The point is how to turn a day around.
This is how i did it:
Step one: Lunch of Taco salad comprised of crispy corn tortilla, onion, salsa, cucumber, tomato, and queso.
So, that got my spirits up a little bit - i guess i am a foodie at heart.
Step two: After work there followed a 45 minute run while listening to Florence & the Machine.
Step three: Dinner of two slices of thin-crust pizza with tomato, onion, and black olives. A Shiner Ruby Redbird for desert.
Magically, now I feel like today was okay.
Nobody gets a runner's high after 45 minutes,
Maddie

Spin-Off
In a brief moment of reflection today I decided to do spin-off from this blog.
Oh, I'll still post here, but I realized all I'm doing here is ranting about this or that or occasional waxing irrelevant over something inconsequential, and I've been writing songs and poems since I dunno how old - you'll have to ask my parents when I started 'cause it was so long ago I don't even remember.
Not that the songs or poems have any weight or substance, but still there's a lot of them so they will go here:
GirlMoonLyrics.blogspot.com
I figure if anything some of them will be good for a laugh.
Prosit.

I am such a...
I am such a failure at keeping this thing updated!
I know right.
This blog should be about not keeping a blog, I mean most of my posts are about how I haven't updated in a long time. I've been busy. Busy with nothing really to talk about, but busy none-the-less, however this weekend I did get to do some of the things I've been meaning to do for a long time, and to top it all off I found out that I did indeed have time to blog as well. So, yup.
Starts off with actually being able to go out on Friday night, played some billiard games with some friends for about two hours then came on home. Friday at work a colleague put in an order for some Lime Thai Chili and some F&#* Sauce. Now the Lime Thai Chili is all ready ready all ready, but the F&#* Sauce is going to a little bit longer. Normally it takes about 6 months for that one, but I have a batch processing so it should be only about four. So I'm going to throw in a jar of the sweet pickled peppers from the last batch to see if they still want the hotter stuff.
Making the hot sauces has always been fun for me, and a nice stress reliever, I just have to remember to not touch my eyes and to wear gloves. My hands didn't stop burning until today no matter how many times I washed them. I think washing them actually made it worse. Of course reaching into a giant bowl and grabbing a handful of chopped up habenero bare-handed wasn't my most proud moment.
Also cleaned.
Then I cleaned again today.
Did some desperately needed laundry.
Cleaned again.
Went out of sushi, and saw a six year old eat a huge bite of Hamachi Sashimi without blinking then ask for more. For those of you who don't know: Hamachi is Yellowfin Tuna, and Sashimi would be most like raw sushi through not necessarily wrapped in seaweed and rice. Props to Dong Kim and Samurai Sushi. Thanks!
Then I put together a train set that Godzilla must have gotten a hold of.
Cleaned again, and did more laundry,
and now I am blogging.
Come to think of it I have not done everything I meant to do. I wanted to also ride my bike and do some yoga. Frick on a Stick. there's still time for yoga I think.
Right,
Maddie.
