Blah Blah Blah

Tuesday afternoon...feeling quite blah. Work went by quickly today. All my patients were running late today, so I ended up running late as well. Mucho exhausting day. Decompressed with some almond and red bean jelly. Now I am dreading gathering all the paper work to refinance. Gosh, being an adult is so taxing, literally.

I really just want to relax and do absolutely nothing. Well, maybe watch some DVR stuff. Alas, I even have to work tomorrow. I sound like a complainer and whiner. The upside is....my last wednesday to work. I really bring it upon myself, working various wednesday. But I am scaling back.

The weather has been really nice here. Sunny and calm.

Shower time so I can sit on the couch. I am all perio-ODD out!

Sunday

I find myself spending Sundays in the kitchen. On Friday, Frank bought me a baguette from Surfas. I in turn decide to make Stuffed Mascarpone French Toast. A while ago, I had something similar at Starling Diner in Long Beach. This is my version of that. It came out pretty well. I am glad Frank liked it. Overall, it was a successful attempt.

After a little nap, I made these Devil's Cupcakes with Mocha Frostings. I made them for Diana, hopefully she enjoys them.

Right now, I am enjoying some Coldplay via Pandora and waiting for my Roast Chicken, it's sizzling in the oven. I'll post pictures of that later.
It's later. Here's the Roasted Chicken!

 

Some veggies that we grew from our garden, the swiss chard. With some kind oyster mushrooms and carrots.

 

Veggies from the Chicken Drippings, nice and caramelized goodness!

 

Dinner is served!

 

Peeved!!!

Last Wednesday, my parked car got hit in the parking lot that I have been parking at for the past 5 years. Bear in my mind I park at this space or the one next to it. It's a given. Anyways, as I was heading to my car to head home, I see this huge dent in my rear left bumper. Seriously, it's an eye sore. I am super peeved because there are two valets working at this time and they both claim that they did not see anything. There are totally lying! Th first picture depicts the point of view of where the valet is stationed at. A clear sight of my car with the dent on the rear left bumper. As you can see. Now This is the dent up close and person. What really grinds my gears is that the valet claim they saw nothing. When in fact, you can clearly see that one would have heard something with a crash like this. So that is why I believe those two valets are hiding something. They are clearly lying because if they saw someone else do it, they are suppose to write it up. Also, when I questioned both valets, one said that they didn't see anything and even ventured to say are you sure that happened here. Lady, you've been out here 6 hours and you mean to tell me that you didn't see anything and not notice that my car never had a dent. I have witnesses that say my car without this dent. The other valet, just ignored me and was trying to run away, clear sign of guilt. I later found out that they are suppose to write up a claim for the damages, but I was clearly being brushed off. I filed a claim today and I hope it rules in my favor. I am not brushing this off because its about the principle. And in the future, if this happens to someone else in the building they will not be brushed off. Justice must be paid!

The bug caught me!

Coming into work today was not a great idea. First patient in and I've got a cough attack plus runny nose. Fortunately, I have one more and tomorrow I can rest, the day after I have off as well. Perhaps, I will be back up and running by Thursday. I do feel a fever coming on. Thankfully it is almost quitting time.

Testing Instagram

Tax time

It's that time of year, we spring forward and get our taxes done. I am here waiting, it's been 30 mins pass since my appointment. I notice I do not like to wait especially when I made an appointment. Especially because I have other appointments after this. I am all about being efficient and terribly look down when things are as they should be.

On another note I am pretty flexible. If one worked for me I would have very high expectations. But I also learnt not to expect so much because you set yourself up for disappointment.

Boy, life is a contradiction. I heard something on the radio yesterday and how when you serve people you focus less on yourself. That must be what it like to have kids and such.

Perhaps, I should do that, not the having kids part. But serving more...

OMG! I am so beyond sore! I went to yoga yesterday. I hadn't been for months and taking a Level 2 class might not have been the best idea. But it felt so good to get back into it. Aside from being sore, I had a good second half of the day. My sister and I went to Queen's Bakery for afternoon tea.

The tea selection is minimal and the tea sandwiches are nothing to rave about. The only sandwich worth speaking of is the nutella almond. It's really hard to go wrong with nutella. Overall, it was nice to spend time with my sister. Afterwards, I gave her a trim. And just hung around.

My weekend

I had a pretty productive weekend. I made fresh pasta for the first time. It was pretty fun and wow, it makes a difference. If you have the time, totally try it.

We also finished cleaning up the windows in out patio. Makes so much of a difference. I took this picture to show our hard work. Next step scrapping the ceiling... I can feel the soreness already!

I have to chose 3 brands/logos that I like. Upon my search, I came across this and thought it was pretty cool. It is interesting to see what big fish and what little fishes are a part of it. You can call it a manufacturing family tree.

Random pic

Right before bed, I wanted to blog. It's quite late and I really should have slept an hour a go. But a quick now before bedtime. I wanted to post a random picture and just talk about it. It's mobile art. Frank bought these for me right before christmas. What a sweetie. They were pretty white tulips. I love white flowers because they symbolize something pure and clean and fresh. I like yellow flowers too because they are like the sunshine. I meant to blog about something more meaningful today but as the day went by the thought passed away. Perhaps tomorrow?

Valentine's Day Traffic

I can't believe how incredibly jammed the roads are. My journey home today took me an all time long journey of 3 hours. Seriously! This is way too much! Perhaps a half day on Thursday is the solution or never working on v-day.

The highlight of the day was a home cooked meal by Chef Dinh! Thanks for gracing us with your culinary delights Dinh!

Now, for lent this year I decided to blog more and get back to yelping. It's been a while since I've yelp and I heard a calling.

Till next time!

The beginning!

It's been ages since I posted on here. It is that time again. Look forward to it, more to post later.

Not amused

Regularly I sleep like a rock, but I was woken up and it was hard to fall back asleep.

Roar!

Annoying

Just asking to see where my patient is, it's 2:03 missy not 2, plus the dude is late none the less. Not annoyed at the patient but the person that booked it. What's up with the attitude. I was just curious, since most these patients come in 25 mind late. Come on now. So don't be pissy with me for wondering if they are going to be late.

Late again

9 am appt and it's 20 minutes after. Another late patient. These people need to get a watch. Seriously, let's be realistic and respect other people's time.

Darwinism

It's all about survival of the fittest! The weak will get eaten alive and the strong will prevail!

It bothers me when people are weak. If you don't believe in yourself then you are weak. You have to be confident and have swag.

Just because someone is old doesn't mean they are incapable. No one wants to be dependent on anyone and when you treat them that way because of their age then you are doing them no favor.

If you admit to ageism then you have given up.

Disclaimer: one should also accept their limits but not bound themselves to it.

Accomplish!

This weekend I felt very accomplished! Even though I already forgot what I did yesterday, I feel like I got a lot dunzo! Home inspection check. Decided in a loan. Did some errands. Did bikram. Started my registry. Did the details for my wedding. Even though, I still have a lot to do, I feel settle because I got a lot of my planning done! Yeah me! And Frank! He was such a trooper today!

Horns!

I am a courteous drive. But when u don't make time to be in the right lane and honk, then child you've push the wrong button!

Save you money. I was expecting a package today from USPS. Express mail with guaranteed delivery by noon today. The parcel person instead left me a sorry we missed you slip. HELLO!!!! Where's my packaged that was guaranteed to be delivered to me TODAY? So I went to the post office to attempt to claim my hostage parcel. Alas, it was not there and a waste of my time. The Postal Service needs a parcel person so us picker uppers need not wait. Also, annoyed that the postal person did not leave me my guaranteed package. What the heck. Long story short, save your money. No use getting the express since i didn't get my guaranteed delivery.
