You never want to come back. Sure, you miss people. You miss a lot. Dogs and cats. People! But you just want that vacation to last forever. Blue moon beyond the stars and big birds flying across the sky throwing shadows upon our eyes. I miss everyone. It was a treat to see the dogs.
Work was a f***ing chore. I was not out of the mode. I was tired. I was cranky. I had emails that I’d ignored for a week. I had annoying people to contend with. I still blew some of them off. I just couldn’t. Two training courses I was last due and needed to complete. Hey, I was already late. Screw it. What’s another day. My mind couldn’t handle. Fortunately I was able to get out of the office after catching up, but the day just soundly surrender me. It also happened to be 420 and I was a lover the place with blood shot eyes. Allergy and sleep deprived eyes. On 420!!! I wonder how many people thought I was one toke over the line. Oh yeah! Did I mention the mouse party in my snack drawer? The pooped and peed all over everything. I thought the little b*****s’s we’re all dead. Welcome back buddy. We missed you.
The middle of the week winter decided to grace us with her presence once again. I heard the usual complaints. “It’s too cold for this time of year”. These are the same people that will be complaining about it being 90 degrees next week. I personally welcomed the cold. I’m a fan of the gloomy weather.
Earth Day fell on us. It’s also the day my Riley dog died. Couldn’t have picked a better day to pass away. The day It was a pretty darn good day. I finally felt rested and things were looking on the bright side. I think everything’s better on Friday Eve. I mean, one more day to go. So happy Earth Day! Hope you did something for Mother Earth. Maybe planted something. Picked up some trash. Heck, recycled. Anything helps. Lord knows she needs all the help she can get.
Friday the gloom continued and we finally got a little bit of early morning rain. Finally. It was a long week. Lots of bull****. Great first week back. Isn’t that how it happens? You don’t see the bumps in the road until you hit them. Those f***ing bumps. Toss you in the air. Toss you in the s***. What a bumpy ride. We always survive. It’s life. Bumps. Cactus. S***! That’s life. F*** it. Cheers!!!
Update on the mouse wars: By the end of the week we had killed 4 of the little bastards. They are getting bold. One had the audacity to run across my bosses desk and poop on it while he was sitting at it. I feel that over the weekend they will regroup. Only time will tell.
Jalapeño
Seared pork chops w/ steamed green beans and blistered tomatoes seasoned with chimichurri seasoning. The pork was topped with a mixture of feta cheese, cream cheese, fresh dill & lemon juice. Once placed on the pork it was thrown into the over to give a nice texture. The sauce was amazing.
Seared chicken with a honey BBQ sauce I whipped together using BBQ sauce, honey & Mayo. The broccoli has cheese and bacon crumbles. Very tasty.
Spice coconut grilled chicken thighs over sushi rice. My middle brother made this on our Florida trip one night and it was a real treat so I had to try it myself. Mine was much too spicy for Bekah. It was great though.
SPAM teriyaki fried rice.
