I need to visit you soon Phoenix. Before all the preserves are gone!
I need to type minutes of a meeting that took place yesterday and I need to extract tons of stuff from the system and edit it in powerpoint. I so don't want to do it! I want to look at pictures of bunnies the whole day and then go to the post office and get my package and then eat melon and sleep.

I am unbelievably tired but still up at my normal 5 am (well, it's seven now, but I've been puttering about for two hours) on my day off. Oh well. It looks to be a sunny day and I am getting lots of cat snuggles, plus I have a tattooing appointment tomorrow, so that's awesome.

My company's revenue is down 30%. Now, I have done a lot of accounting sorts of work in my life and what I am trying to understand is how that happens in the two weeks since the boss got back. At least that is how they make it sound. And as we don't actually have an accountant, but rather just someone who tracks the books...
Bottom line is I am on the Titanic and it is sinking fast. Which thrills me no end!

My waffle maker came a day early and within 10 minutes of taking it out of the box, I'd already made the cornmeal waffles from Vegan Brunch. Holy shiitake they were delicious! I was talking/thinking/dreaming of waffles all weekend and was not disappointed! I even got the hubby to eat them when he is more of a pancake person.
Oh, and I was offered a job at the dialysis clinic where I interviewed! HAPPY MONDAY!!! Weeee!
Congrats on the job! And you made me go look at waffle makers on amazon. I really shouldn't, but I really want to. Technically, my parents' wafflemaker was given to me as a present, but I'd kind of like to have a new waffle maker for my now vegan waffles.

Thanks! You can look at a new waffle maker as an investment in breakfast and for freedom? Freedom loves waffles.

Oh wow! One of our profs, who has a big garden, gave me kilos and kilos of zucchini and yellow summer squashes! I cubed and froze some, am currently eating my second roasted one (chili salt, pepper, basil), and googled vegan squash recipes. :D
I actually went running today! My partner signed us up for a 5k in September so that we would actually have to get up and work out. Yay! It was tough but felt good.
I am worried about how long I will be able to do this line of work before I burn out. I generally feel like I don't know what I'm doing and that I am screwing up...I've heard that is totally normal for new attorneys, but my goodness. I have had an upset tummy and getting panicky feeling when I think about work, which makes me sad, because I really want to do this...I need to work on my coping techniques. I'm hoping the running will help.
This weekend I get to go camping! I haven't been since girl scout camp in second grade, so it should be great.
congrats on the job, smelfood!
Phoenix, that sounds like a good way to roast zucchini...maybe I'll do that for dinner...yummm

I can hardly work from the excitement of going to the cottage this weekend. My excitement is laced with worry, though; the cottage was owned by T.'s grandfather (the one who passed away a couple weeks ago). It's ownership is now in limbo, and in order to transfer ownership to the children of the grandfather, there is this MASSIVE (like, 6 figures) land transfer tax that will have to be paid. Total gouging. And honestly, I don't know if anyone can pay it. So I'm a bit scared that I'll lose my favourite place on earth.

I'm debating turning off the air and opening all the windows to get some air up in the piece, since it's 'only' 80 degrees. But I have to bake cupcakes for a friend's birthday, and the oven'll just heat everything up again. I have all day, though, so I guess I could procrastinate, open the windows, and bake cupcakes later. Right?
Whatevs. Doing it! Yay for below 90 weather!

It's pretty natural to feel that way, especially when you're new to something. Once you do it for a while, some of that anxiety should die down and you'll get more comfortable with it. This is especially true when you have a lot of passion for what you do. What kind of attorney are you (if you don't mind me asking)?

Thanks, Mr. Shankly...I'm a family law attorney at a non-profit. I do divorce, adoption, custody/support, juvenile delinquency, and child abuse cases. Sadly, it is mostly divorce simply due to the astounding number of divorces, and I know my clients are all in a bad spot, but I feel like I disappoint them. Thanks for listening, PPK.
The newest attorney at our office (graduated together but she just started here yesterday) was asking me questions about client contact and I realized that I do know some stuff. I just worry about messing up people's lives.
Also, it is beautiful weather here, so walking to court should be pleasant.

It's possible to squeeze in 180/190g a day. I did it until recently with a couple of 500ml soya protein shakes a day and through eating various combinations of Linda McCartney sausages, falafel, tofu, seitan, pulses and homemade silken tofu yogurt. It gives you deadly farts though.
Mike left his phone at home, so not only did I worry about him (he's ill), I've been seeing the blinking blue light on it out of the corner of my eye since I got home almost 2 hours ago.

The whole day I've been reading the topic "Lost all my pantry staples :(....." as "Lost all my pants staples" and keep imagining someone who used to have very big pants they had to keep together with staples, and as they now lost them, they are losing their pants and walking around naked. I'm worried.

I've been asked to do a survey and one of the first questions is:
"If Morrison's [chain supermarket] were a person, I would consider them...
*Someone I would try to avoid *Someone I wouldn't want to be seen with *A close friend I would tell secrets to *A mate- someone I might have a pint with every now and then *A neighbour I never see *A partner (boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife) *Someone I fancy but can't pluck up courage to speak to"
You have to pick one. What a strange question. Who would pick the last one?

This, roughly speaking. I'm also going low-carb and low-calorie to try and lose a bit of fat and not lose what muscle I have.
I had one protein shake, Linda McCartney sausages, lentils and homemade sausages. All under 1400 calories, also (followed by two pints, which puts it at nearer 1800, but I did 600 worth of cardio-type exercise this morning so let's call it 1200 net).

They're really missing on the 'Someone I met in a glory hole once' market.
