Heat is back

Caretas came back last night, so did the heat. Oh dear, who knew the LA heat was going to return this quickly? Once again I have my AC on. It's not as bad as two weeks ago, still it's not comfortable. Caretas and I went out and had lunch at Hometown Buffet, one of her favorites. She's feeling better and I can't be happier for her. We shopped a little bit too. I came back, rested some more, and found my disposal stopped working again. It's annoying. I would reset it and turn it back on, repeat that several times. It just refused to turn. I think I'm going to have to talk to my landlord about it tomorrow. It better not start turning suddenly when she checks it!

Feeling better

My stomach is doing much better today. Thank goodness because I am going to Dave's tonight and all that food must be eaten somehow. I have spent most of this week alone. I haven't seen any friends or gone anywhere exciting, besides Megan, gym and grocery shopping. I think that's good. Sometimes taking time to be by yourself and figuring things through is a good exercise. Just don't do it too often, it can make a person too self involved and easily moody.

Lactose Intolerant

I went on one giant lactose intolerant trip today. I ate a half of the 85c's cheese cream pastry in the morning, and I was in and out of the bathroom for the rest of the day. Oh it was not pleasant. Sometimes I can handle dairy fine, sometimes like today my body just outright rejects it. Obviously I ended up eating very little tonight and am still feeling kind of weak. I'm hoping tomorrow I'll be 100% again. How could something taste good be so mean?!

Making waves

Work today was very relaxing. I improved some flyers for the show in Vegas. I also met a couple of employees from Singapore and learned a little more about the company. The afternoon went by smoothly too. Megan stopped by to get some BBB coupons that I was throwing away. I wondered how much she saved. The gym was easy breezy. I didn't feel like a nap afterwards. This morning while on Skype I told mom that I will finalize my plans by this weekend. She was staying late in the bakery because she had gotten a lot of orders for the quickly arriving Moon Festival. It's nice to know that she's working hard and doing well. It motivates me to want to make some waves too.

Things done

I got a few things done today. Bills were paid. Gifts were bought. Present sent. Yea some spending, but all necessary. I got my DMV Certificate of Title today. Yay! That was pretty awesome. Megan dropped by and gave me baked goods from 85° from Irvine. She told me she was shocked to see the place was so packed last night. Seriously I've heard so much about this Taiwanese bakery their stuff better be freaking phenomenal! In the end I decided to eat the pastries tomorrow for breakfast. Sweet stuff is just not very dinner-ish to me. I have a half a day of work tomorrow. I really shouldn't have taken that nap!

Dinner at Jen's

Went to Jen's for dinner tonight. I had not seen her for so long! It was great to spend quality time with my old friend again. She reassured me that I wasn't the only one looking for jobs. Every now and then it's nice to hear that from someone else, hahaha. She seemed less stressed, and Steve was in a good mood too. She made grilled chicken and green salad, it was healthy and delicious. The wedding is just a month away. It is such a time and money consuming event! I really admire them for figuring everything out and sticking to the plans. We watched a little bit of VMA, which was a complete train wreck. Then we just switched and watch the Design Star finale, which was more entertaining. I probably won't see them again until their big day. Everyone's moving forward, I hope I get to do that sometime this year too.

Great Picnic

Had a great day today. The picnic party Dave and Jose threw went very well. We picked a shady spot that served us well, not too hot or too cold. There was a lot of food: sandwich stuff, salad stuff, vegetables and fruits, all kinds of cheeses, different drinks, coffee, etc. It was a true outdoor feast. Dave also made a pie that blew everyone's mind away. There was 9 of us, but the park was pretty much empty and quiet until a lot later. We saw the pool was drained, that's probably the reason we didn't see that many people. It was just a great party.
