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!

    1. Thank you! I'm going to have to try my own variation of the mushrooms next time because the thyme was not working for me.
