Flippity Flop

You remember that feeling of having to go up on stage when you were a kid in a stupid costume and having to say some lines in front of a huge audience? That gut wrenching feeling of being slightly embarrassed and afraid? That's me right now.

Today I started work early to leave early and go to the optometrist. I have to do a visual field test - it's a test where a technician shines a bright light in your peripherals to diagnose and/or monitor glaucoma. I'm terrified. I don't know what to expect and I literally asked everyone if they have ever done this test.. nope, nope and nope. There's not one person out there that can tell me what to expect? According to statistics not a lot of young people have glaucoma so that's probably why my circle of friends haven't had this test. But hey, if they ever get it done they can come to me.

I'm going to keep myself distracted.

Speaking (or more so blogging) about distractions here's a good one, Jack and I received notice that the lady who owns our condo wants to SELL. So we have to move by the end of August otherwise we'll be living in a hotel or with one of our parents.. For this reason, I've cancelled August long weekend at the cottage - which I planned months and months ago - :( because you have to be responsible right? Both of us have to stay focused, do our research, book appointments, pre mortgage approval etc..

Did I also forget to mention that Jack quit drinking?
Let that sink in.

One of my dear drinking buddies hasn't had the sauce in 2 weeks. And it's in perfect timing - Patio season! Then again, since we have to move, we have to save our finances and one of our social hobbies used to be drinking so this works in our favour.

Did I also forget to mention that as of yesterday I decided to quit too?
I'm not a nice drunk anymore and having that feeling of knowing how you hurt someone's feelings isn't so great. Plus, sleeping in and wasting a day isn't my jam anymore. I'm over it. Time to grow up, save money and own a home!

... which I should probably search some places right now. Stay tuned!
PS: Almost at 3L and it's only 2:30 pm!!

Update on goals

Hello again. It's meeee... 🙃 Okay so goal 1 ✔️ Completed Speed 1.0 with mama bear. I completed the day with 10,162 steps. My dessert was literally a sliver of cake (sister called it a crumb) haha with 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, few strawberries and walnuts. And I made a low carb lasagna and guess what? It was a huge success! So my mom makes this beautiful hollandaise based lasagna with chicken and asparagus. I took it upon myself to grad 1/2 cauliflower head and grated the stems of broccoli as my base. Did a layer of the sauce, chicken, asparagus, broccoli, cheese, and added (4) spinach noodles for texture. Topped it with Parmesan cheese and BOOM. Magic was born. Other lasagnas for the family included turkey with tomato sauce, and then (2) variations of the hollandaise other than my own- one with broccoli and the other asparagus. I was absolutely thrilled to find out mine was a success. Especially since I thought it was going to be like soup. Don't forget that when ...

Updates and Basil, Cilantro, Garlic Bread

I realize I haven't blogged in quite some time. Here's some updates since my last blog: - I moved - It wasn't my choice but it had to be done. The lady that owned our condo wanted us to buy it or leave. So we left (there were way too many things to be fixed and wasn't worth our time, energy and money). Now I live in the basement of my mother in law's home with my boyfriend, Jack. - I no longer consume animals or animal by products. I'm 90% vegan and I say 90 % because I cannot consume vegan cheese. Has anyone ever tried it? IT'S LEGIT THE SCUM OF THE EARTH. I eat cheddar cheese (only) once, twice or three times a month. So let's get down to business, to the reason why I made you come to this entry on my blog. The main way I cook in this basement is with my slow cooker. I came across a recipe on Pinterest for Vegan basil pesto bread which obviously sounds delicious. *Word to the non - vegans, pesto contains parmesan. There was a recipe to make vegan...

Rant on perfumes / cologne

Found this rant in my iPhone notebook: Ladies. Why do you bathe in perfume? Some men do it too but I had to bring it up for a little rant because I was just outside walking to the bus stop and all I could smell was perfume and I was still 10 or 15 steps away. There was a woman waiting in the shelter. Decked out as if she was going downtown to pick up an older man in the financial district. Either that or she works in a top notch hair salon... I can't even make a joke properly because my head is still fuzzy from that smell. When I am in a closed space and someone sprays perfume (an abundance of it) I get light headed accompanied by a headache. It's not fun at all. I'm not the only one either which is the reason why most gym change rooms have signs not allowing perfumes to be sprayed. Same with certain departments in the hospital. Nurses shouldn't wear perfume because of the contact with some patients. Anyways, all I'm saying is - even though YOU can't ...
