A Day in my Life... #ulog 44

Well today was a good Monday, and it was a good weekend too. I got some good relaxation in over the weekend and I was feeling really great until this evening when I started to have a sore throat and a headache. The headache is gone now but the sore throat is still lingering.

I ate this salad for dinner the other day. It was good but kind of strange because someone put spaghetti on the bottom... But it actually turned out to be pretty tasty as the dressing went well with the cold noodles.

I was in the rich ladies house on Friday when I spotted this fancy crystal dish. I've taken and posted pictures of some of her other gaudy decorations, although this is much more subdued and attractive lol.

My boss has this big turtle that usually is roaming around in the backyard. Since it's cold however, he is parked in the garage under the heat lamp. Turtles are really strange creatures and I don't really understand the appeal of keeping them as "pets".

Saturday I went to my grandmas house and my nieces and she had made some delicious crispy jelly pastries for the valentines season.

I ate a couple small ones but they sent my sugar sky high.... 🙄 I wish I could just enjoy little things like that without getting punished by my body so quickly...

Later on I went to my brothers house and had a much healthier meal of chicken and green beans. It was really good and my body accepted it very agreeably with no surprise sugar swings. Success!

Yesterday we went to the gym and I was mostly looking to relax since I haven't been to the gym in a long while and I have been feeling kind of weak lately. So I only did like 15 minutes of cardio and then I went and soaked in the hot tub, then got in the pool and worked my arms and legs in the water in the wading area as the swimming lanes were all occupied.

After a while a lane opened up and I swam a little, just 50 meters. I got in the hot tub again and then I visited the steam room which was very hot, and then a quick cold shower to cool off and then on to the sauna which felt cold in comparison to the steam room.

After all that we went to eat some pho 🍲. It was delicious and I even got a couple of fresh shrimp spring rolls as an appetizer, I was really hungry.

Later on last night I went to the store to pick up a few things and saw something new... Vegan eggs? Idk if they have some kind of shell or what, but it was packaged in a tiny egg carton. I'm not vegan so I'm not going to buy it to see what's going on inside the packaging but it was pretty amusing to me all the same.

Another strange product I came across last night was this doggy ice cream. They really have something for everyone these days, and if they don't just wait...

After the pho for lunch I wanted to keep it light for dinner so I had some steak on a bed of cabbage with onions and guacamole. It was good and then I watched some Netflix and finally finished all the Forensic Files on there. I thought I'd never see them all!

Today while working I had the pleasure of meeting up with the always energetic and loving Lola. She's such a good dog and I am a little upset because they are moving... I don't know where they're moving but hopefully somewhere close so I can still see Lola!

When I got home I ate this little salad kit I got last night. It was a Greek salad so that means it came with feta cheese and kalamata olives. How fancy!

For the rest of this night I've just been resting, drinking tea and taking medicine. My sore throat seems to be going away already but I can't chance getting sick, especially at this time of year when work slows down.

Until next time...
