The Loss of a Friend

Owen almost went to the vet again because he refused to eat or drink over the weekend. I finally was able to get him to eat some canned food. I need to mix dry and wet to get him back on dry. Poor dog. I just want him normal again. He needs some weight and they can’t just keep cutting him.

Wednesday we had our big morning meeting. The VP’s were all there to give us a presentation strategic enrollment management “SEM”. it was about word for word the same presentation that I heard from them at Staff Senate. What a boring 30 min of my life. Actually since I have heard it twice now that makes it an hour of my life.

After all the BIG wigs vacated some service awards were given out. After that a bomb was dropped. Or executive director said “ I know that word has likely gotten around but we lost Randy yesterday”. Lost him?? What does that mean? He found another job? I knew he was stressed and unhappy. No. He meant that he died yesterday. I was shocked. No explanation as to what happened. We all at first assumed suicide, but surely he would selfishly leave his 2 daughters alone without a parent. His wife passed a few years ago. Turns out it was his heart that gave out on him. Only 48 years old. I really liked Randy and considered him a friend. Our entire office was bummed out the rest of the day. Those poor kids. 9 & 15 years old without a parent. It’s so damn sad. Breaks my heart.

Finally Friday rolled around. It also warmed up. Quite frankly I’m over the cold. Yay sun. Happy Friday!!

Jalapeño

Yvette made chicken tetrazzini.

Beef w/ broccoli over sticky rice.

Cheese tortellini with Alfredo and bacon crumbles. A side of peas. I’m liking my peas.

Sweet spicy chicken with rice and veggies. Good lord this was great.

Crock pot Spicy chicken over rice. Fantastic meal.

I had a lot of leftover chicken so I decided to make chicken spaghetti. I have to say this was a driest for me and I was excited.

Date night had to be put off. Yvette needed to be with the kiddo. I didn’t really want to cook all out so I just started the oven and threw in a potato. I had some taco meat so I had taco baked potato with some chips and queso.
