Ch. 5 (May WK 1). Pg. 122-132

I really want to keep the months together, so when my months start in the middle of weeks I will just make them a longer week. So some wks may seem off but I'm trying to fully get caught up haha. 

Just because I need to start with some kind of image. This batch of days... Is basically the first week and a half since the first is on a Wed. 

Pg. 122-125, May 1st kicked off a month I was excited about. I worked early because I had a concert and needed to get to my Cousin's house on time. I had absoyninides what I was wearing until I put it together. 

what I settled on.. I also had been rather chatty with T so I sent some pics especially the bralette because my titties look fantastic in it. 

but I stead of just that I'll share my net dress and I really wish I had the nerve to just wear this out because I honestly like it... But it was nice to have his random dirty attentive attention lol. 

Becky and I were seeing Puscifier, Primus and A Perfect Circle. I wanted to see this show so badly, I'd only seen it playing in CA and had even been trying to see if that was doable. When she mentioned I absolutely jumped in those tickets (I am concerned about the number of shows I have purchased based on weekends off.. so I really need a weekend free job to come into play lol). Stephen drove and it was a great show. 

I felt cute AF.. truly and despite anxious I still had a wonderful time! 

I'd tried to record and I got tapped on the shoulder but so many others did, I got like 4 pictures lol.

I am not even sure who I loved more. It was for Maynard's 60th birthday the bands just rotated in and out after so many songs. 

and the Stage was fantastic. 

and I absolutely will see all of these bands again if I have the opportunity! 

I only got one picture with Becky and I but I am happy with that.

 We made it back to the house at like midnight, we sat up and talked and about 3am I called it a night and went to bed hoping to sleep. I felt gross and that was definitely going to make sleep questionable. I had a therapy appointment scheduled the next day and I actually had cancelled it but I was still wanting to be home by a certain time. Well. When I got up it was about 10 and she was on the phone, and remained on the phone and I had wanted to leave by 12 the latest which was 1pm my time. We both forgot about the time change. Becky and I have both been going through some serious personal work, she has been working on it longer than I have and is definitely in a different place regarding healing. Also, our trauma though similar is very different. She was close to my father and that makes things difficult at times and she likes to tell him that he was proud of me, loved me, regrets, etc. We ended up talking and it was very heavy and very emotional. I cried so often and conversations regarding Bryan and so forth. It was a lot and as much as I love seeing her and spending time with her I definitely want to limit how often. Well I didn't leave until 1pm... she kept saying as long as I was gone by 2 I should be fine but haha.. I was NOT. 1 was 2 pm my time and my appointment was for 3:30 so I was very glad I cancelled it. The traffic was a nightmare and that 3.5 hr drive actually took almost 5. I did not even get into the South Bend area until about 5:45 and I didn't actually get home until 6:30. I was annoyed, tired, dirty and over the day in every way. What I had planned to be a relaxing afternoon was just a long and exhausting evening. I am updating based on my pictures, if there aren't many pictures then I didn't do much. Given that I was off Thursday for the Concert that meant Friday I was working. Tuesday was a sceduled recess day so that meant I would be working. I went into Friday hoping to get as a head as I could because Inventory was now on that Tuesday. I had the daycares to cook and inventory to do and it was always a nightmare. I just remember that I took home all the work I could so that I might acutally be able to just start inventory as soon as possible. The weekend was literally just work, production records and rearranging the menus and all that nightmare. 

 Sunday, Pg. 126, I had decided on Saturday that I was going to make Biscuits and Gravy from Scrathch. 

I had not actually made biscuits since school and I found this small batch recipe so I ran with it. I got 6 biscuits out of it andit was rolled out kind of like you do croissants. 

I definitely want to play with that recipe because the first two biscuits were gorgeous!

 I mean they all were but I want to get the roll and cut out better so they are all complete. 

I had enough for another mean later in the week and they were absolutely delicious.

I used my cast iron skillet and I was so happy with how they came out!! It was a delicious meal!!

 Mon, Pg. 127, What was it but a Monday. I do not have any pictures until Thursday and those are not of me or cooking. It was a horribly long week that only kicked off the horrible long week. People were sick so I was stuck in the kitchen, I had so much to finish before inventory the next day. The service lead did help out but I had not realized how much she did because I didn't take the time to verify it so I wasted even more time doing the exact same things. Inventory was a damn 11 hr day and a fucking nightmare. But the director wasn't being horrible so I was just trying to have it all done. It then made Wednesday an absolute nightmare, I had no time to prep for a catering I needed to have done. All she kept saying was that is why you have others stage it, I was like I WAS THE ONLY ONE HERE AND BUSY!!! Did you really think I did not have that thought?! Like come on!! I am ONE PERSON!!! I just hate that they fail to see just how much time everything takes, I try to do everything and there is simply not enough time in a day. I bust my ass and am exhausted daily and it does not matter. So the week simply was whatever it was.

 The high light of the week at this point was Thursday, pg. 130, I got a package in the mail full of great Horror Movie stickers. I am so lucky to have so many people who think of me the way the do! I am truly blessed with a great group of people in every way!

 Friday... ugh. I had the drag into the office. We need you to come up with a list of things you need help with and next week is Cultural Week and you will be making ALL of those meals, assuming you even have everything ordered in and we also are aware none of the recipes have been tested either. Of course they haven't, I spend my time helping everyone possible and doing positions because we are chronically short and my employees are breaking themselves to even get their work done and when is there time?! and at this point.. why am I testing recipes you have already used and shouldn't have any issues with!? I don't understand that thought process at all. 

 So Friday, pg. 131,.. Friday was dinner with Lindsey and Candy and I absolutely bought myself the BIGGEST margarita they had because I was simply over the nightmare that the week had already been and it was the start of May!! Fuck man... seriously! I didn't even have anything list for Saturday and I am pretty sure I simply made a dispo run for NC. Either way... hey.. week 1 is done... Ohhh I was gifted a disco ball from Lindsey and Candy!!
