You guys I just had a whole entry typed out when my computer decided to restart. Isn’t that fun?
I did not wake up so stressed this morning. I must have accepted that I do not have any control over the situations at work. On the plus side though, all my problems are Karemjeet’s now. She and everybody left me alone today, for the most part. My employees are going to be so happy to see me. I know it.
My roommates decided to spend the day out of town which was perfect news to hear in the morning. I never thought that I would get the house to myself again. As soon as they left I made myself some lunch. I fried mashed potatoes in oil that I tempered with mustard and cumin seeds. To that, I added curry leaves, grated turmeric and fresh coriander. I put that mess into a sandwich with coriander chutney as a spread and slices of red onion, capsicum and tomatoes for more filling. (I learned how to cook from people overseas so that is why I call things by different names and pronounce them properly in person) I spread vegan margarine on both sides and grilled it in a pan. BOOM! Masala Toast. It was so good but I can’t enjoy anything without broccoli these days. What is wrong with me? Oh, right I’m literally worried sick. One of my prescriptions requires me to eat with food so I haven’t been skipping any meals.
So I made a decision to work out because I was tired of “resting”. I mean, I felt fine but I didn’t even last two Linkin Park songs before I started the worse coughing fit ever. I then broke out into a little fever. I was then incapacitated for the next couple of hours. Once I came to I cleaned myself up and then decided that I needed to go shopping? I never read the side effects to anything, they make me paranoid but there is a big red sticker on the one that I took after my brief conscious coma that says “may impair driving”. So basically I think that I was stoned when I left the house. I drove fine. I was talking to myself but in Alaska’s voice from RuPaul’s Best Friend Race the whole way to the mall. Perfectly I must say.
My legs were shaky but that was probably from the lunges that I was attempting when I had the coughing fit. I was such a scatterbrain. Then I spent $300. I needed a basic button-up shirt that I could french tuck because I was watching Queer Eye while I ate my lunch. I look so put together now. I didn’t fit any of the dress pants that I tried on because of some weight gain?! And like, do I need pants that make my butt look good or do I need to make my butt look good? Because I can’t. Then I needed a toy basketball net for my niece. The 3-year-old is obsessed with Space Jam this week and asked to learn how to play basketball. Karamjeet had such an awful week and I wanted to buy her something nice. I found a cute little notebook kit situation for her. Then finally the gods had given me a thick wood cutting board that still had the bark along the outside that I have been keeping an eye out for since forever! I needed two of those to make up for lost time. Then I needed to re-up my Himalayan salt, I am too bougie to use other salts. Then my Winnipeg, Manitoban demon came through and got me going crazy in the clearance sections. I bought so many soaps and creams and mist spray to get little self-care packages started for Christmas. I am the only person in my life that is moisturizing! Is 9 months too early to be Christmas shopping? And why does Bulk-Barn not have regular whole raw cashews!? Man, I am spent. It’s almost 1 am and I believe that I am only wide awake after an 18hr day because I had to take my prescription again a couple of hours ago. My room needed to be reorganized and polished at 12 am. You know how it is.
Thank Ganesha, my sona ishta deva, that all the money that I spent today was just all the money that I had won at the casino the other day… when I was told that I was too contagious to be at work so I decided to go put my germs all over slot machines like a monster. Tomorrow is my last day with these meds and I just can’t wait to have some wine on Monday. I was feeling fine before I tried to work out. My cough is gone though and my face does not feel like it inhaled bleach. I think the shingles left a scare on my shoulder though. Right where middle-aged people have those scars from smallpox vaccinations. Whenever I see a young person with that scar I always know that they’re foreign. Why am I being weird?
I was texting with my friend Bev all day. We haven’t talked in ages since she moved to Quebec. Turns out that she is coming home, with her sons. Her husband and she are separating. His mental health issues got too big for everybody. Himself included. I thought that marriage would last forever together. She has a life coach in her life now? I am looking forward to having another friend around here. Especially since her lifestyle is so close to mine. She is not Vegan, she is pretty ignorant about a lot of it but she’s always been that health nut that always inspired me to give a shit about what I put in my body.
Anyways, theoretically, without Grammarly this entire entry would have been even more incomprehensible. I should also stop attacking the world wide web with my entries for a while.
