The Ice Cream Cliff

Yesterday started so well; I went for a subdued look to highlight my pretty new necklace (and Emily).



The necklace didn't photograph well, alas. But I love it.



Then I went to work, and the insanity began. You know when you look at your to-do list and you start to hyperventilate? That is where I am right now. One giant project after another, each one higher-priority than the last, so many I don't even know where to start. Then all kinds of crazy support calls, and continued training of my still-new team members, oh and then at 5:30 I remembered I am running a training class today and I hadn't confirmed the agenda or checked if the computers worked in the training room. They didn't.

So I put in a request to have that fixed by morning, then packed up for the day with my stomach in knots. My husband was out with coworkers so I had to get home and feed the cats. I hadn't been very good with my food during the day, and all I wanted to do was eat my worries away. I stopped at the grocery store for more watermelon, and the lure of a pint of ice cream was strong. Very strong. Instead, I picked up the makings for tuna sandwiches like I had mentioned earlier in the morning, a fresh watermelon, some beer, and just all the better things in my cart convinced me not to veer off the ice cream cliff. I got sushi instead.

This was my dinner:


I had a couple of beers too; I am not made of stone. But this was still a victory for me, and after a day like that, I will take them where I can get them.

A Kohls order came in last night too; most of the items are getting returned, but this dress is definitely a keeper. I only wish it came in other colors too; I would buy them all!
