Happy Friday! I am extra happy because I am leaving work at 1:00 today
I requested to be off today because I was planning on going to Maryland for the weekend. My best friend from college still lives there and it was her birthday on Tuesday.
I am not going anymore because my sister changed her mind last week about the wedding dress she chose last Saturday. So my mom is coming to New York tomorrow so we can go dress shopping again! I am the maid of honor so I have no choice but to be there. My sister also just moved from Queens to Manhattan so I have to be a nice sister and help her unpack.
I will probably go to Maryland around Christmas since I have 2 weeks off. I really miss my friend!! We met at our college orientation and stayed friends all 4 years so it is hard to be in a different state than her. I used to be able to visit her more but then my parents took my car from me…I will not get into that story now!
I went to sleep around 11:30 last night. Kind of late for me on a week night but I was catching up on blogs which are pretty addicting I must say. I was completely right last night about the rain keeping me awake. I woke up at 2 am because it sounded like there were stones being thrown at my window! I ended up eating this:
They are very good. They taste just like oatmeal raisin cookies, but with lots of fiber!
Then at 4 I woke up again from the rain! I was still up at 4:30 and had to break my 1snack only rule! I ate:
That was 260 unnecessary calories in the middle of the night but hey, if it helps me sleep then so be it.
At 7 am my alarm went off and I immediately slammed the snooze button. I was soo tired. I knew I had to shower so I made myself get up at 7:10. At least it finally stopped raining! For now…
I arrived to work and made a mug of Tazo Awake tea. It is rare that my work keeps this flavor stocked but when they do, I always have it over coffee. I added a little bit of 1% milk and cinnamon to it:
I made the same bowl of oats as yesterday. Except today I used a whole banana because I found a random half in the back of my desk. I finished off my granola too. I think today may have been 3/4 cup instead of a 1/2 because I estimated. I never complain about extra oatmeal though!
Perfect!

3 more hours to go! I just received a nice holiday bonus yesterday so some shopping looks like it might be in this afternoon’s itinerary! Have a nice Friday!

oh my gosh! Stupid people who make it into management… I TOTALLY feel your pain. I swear, it’s the story of my life. I’m basically only a glorified admin but yet I’m fairly certain I’m the smartest person in the office.
The people I work with are EXACTLY the type of people who do EXACTLY the type of thing you’re describing.
Just know you aren’t alone out there…
