Semester One Is Done

One

I wound up cancelling all 3 Barre classes I was signed up for this week.  Monday I was dealing with lost apartment keys from the weekend, Wednesday I was stuck in a work meeting, Thursday I was just a hot mess.  I started crying when I got in my car after work for no real reason.  I was crabby at my most of the day because I'm sick of their nonsense.  I had an awful sinus headache so I went home, threw on some sweats, & finally balanced my checkbook.  (After doing so I realized winning the lottery Wednesday night would have made so WAY less depressing.)  I am still signed up for a 9 am class tomorrow though & hopefully next week isn't so insane.

Wednesday at work was so awful.  I felt like crap.  My kids were getting on my last nerve for a multitude of reasons.  I wanted to walk out so many times...and had I won the lottery you can bet your ass I would have.  I am so over students who refuse to do work, don't care, are so helpless when it comes to doing nearly any task despite being in high school, are entitled, & disrespectful.  If I had had any wine or ice cream in my house Whole30 would have been shot to shit because I would have been sitting in my tub consuming both.

I made these bacon & shrimp stuffed mushrooms for what was supposed to be a few meals this week.  Never going to happen again.  I love stuffed mushrooms, and shrimp, and bacon.  The seasoning choices were weird for me though.  It called for 1/2 tsp of thyme but since I was making more than just a few I did everything times 2.5...except for the thyme...I still put less in than I should have & that's all I could taste.  I couldn't even suck it up & eat them so into the trash they went.  If I ever make them again I would for sure choose different seasonings & perhaps even wait until I could have dairy again & add some type of cheese.  Luckily I bought more shrimp than necessary so I was able to put them on spinach for salads instead.

Four

Like millions of others I decided to buy some Powerball numbers for Wednesdays 1.6 billion dollar drawing.  Like millions of others I did not win a dime.  In hindsight I kind of wish I had only spent $10 on numbers that night so I could use the other 10 to buy a number or 2 for the now 40 mil pot.  40 million would be a whole lot more manageable...and I could still be in the running for millions of dollars ha.  Even though I didn't win, I posted here about what I would do if I had won.

Five

Today is the end of the first semester.  I both can't believe that the school year is already half over & am also so relieved that it's finally half over at the same time.  Today also marks the halfway point in January.  Calm down 2016...no need to start flying by already!
