Last Day of Aloneness
Just kidding! I had NOT been looking forward to this past week for the longest time, but I think it turned out really well-- probably because I didn't just sit around the house and eat all day long. :p And I can't exactly blame being sick on Rich's absence, hehe.
Food log:
2 soy sausage patties
some chunky applesauce
1 chocolate/caramel
curry (green beans, an orange bell pepper, a sweet potato, brown rice, and a billion spices), didn't finish it though
a container of Greek yogurt with honey (SO GOOD. So fatty, too, but it could be a nice 1-per-week thing)
3 slices of homemade pesto pizza (yeah, repeat my comments for the yogurt here. I guess Saturdays are always cheat days though, right?)
After going to Whole Foods this morning, I didn't do much. I was gonna go to the park, but I *really* need to to check my left front tire. It's probably just my imagination, but I could have sworn that my car felt like it was "leaning" in that direction when I was driving today. I'm going out tonight, but my Mom's driving, so I'll have to deal with it tomorrow morning. Maybe a new tire should be my "yay, you made it 2 months!" gift. ;)
And I *am* going to make it 2 months. That's still officially two weeks away, but for once I'm not worried about lasting that long. I don't understand why stupid reflux has been especially rampant lately. The really oily pizza I just had didn't help matters, heh.
I was pissed off this afternoon because my Mom has already packed up SO much stuff (and we are not leaving until OCTOBER) that she already put away all the bowls I use for ice cream/applesauce/etc. and pretty much everything I'd need to mix up and bake the fruitcake! v_v Seriously, I have everything I need except a pan and a few good-sized bowls. There's no way I can go through the boxes since they're all taped up and even if they weren't, there's a billion of them. Worse comes to worse, maybe I'll pick up a cheap pan at Target tonight. I'm not going to work tomorrow without a fruitcake, hehe.
Chris and I were questioning some Brooks policies yesterday, namely whether or not we SHOULD be making time-and-a-half on Sundays, and if we're getting a fair amount of time for our breaks. So I dug up the RI Employee Rights handbook I had laying around here and checked both these matters out. We don't get time-and-a-half because pharmacies are among the types of companies that aren't required to. Even though he and I don't work IN the pharmacy, I guess we're considered to. As for breaks, the Brooks policy is more than generous. Technically, you only HAVE to get a 20 minute break if you work 8 or more hours. Anything else is the employer's discretion. We get a 30 minute non-paid break for 6-8 hour shifts and a paid 15 minute break for 4-5 hour shifts. So all things considered, that's not too bad. If I had to work my 3-9 days without a break, people would die. O_o (But not from my boxcutters-- I lost them yesterday! :( )
I still have to get into the Stalin thing, haha. I'll have to print out a picture of him so I can hang it up in the break room. No one's going to understand except for Chris, Justin (who's leaving for a month, sadly), and I, but that's okay. ^___^
Well, I think my Mom and I are going to Warwick to look for bathroom sets. If only everyone were as lucky as me, hehe.
