Hump Day Ramble
|
Hump Day Ramble Today was a tough day to get through. New has us all stressing out... today was the first day this week I was actually able to work on "my job" (my "main" job) .. and about 1pm I got sucked back into the new thing. I didn't eat lunch. Worked right on through the bad hunger pangs then forgot the fact I hadn't eaten. And then the stress kept me from remembering I hadn't eaten. Which of course meant I held onto the stress... then got depressed and ... downward spiral. I totally forgot my mantra: "Eat. Rest. Be well of Heart. Breathe" Exactly why it's there in the first place. Head hurts? Emotions wonky? When did I eat last? Did I get enough sleep? (I never really get enough sleep.) Usually one, or both, are at fault. If both were covered and I'm still emotional: Just take deep breaths and calm down... trust the Universe will fix it. Very seldom is it anything that needs action. Tonight I flopped on a friend's sofa so I could be depressed in company and ate while I was there... then it clicked. "I just realized I forgot to eat anything after 8am" Feels dumb that I forgot. Turns out today was 30% hunger, 70% sheer exhaustion. And toss dehydration in as well... I did have water at my desk but... yeah. I was busy.  I'm working very little overtime this week and angling for Friday off... wish me luck! A funny sign I read at a shop this afternoon: "Happier than a camel on hump day!" My favorite chocolate of the last 5 years or so (rare to find) has been usurped by a NEW favorite (actually a tie for first place) between two even more rare chocolates. My snobbish gourmet chocolate taste buds make it difficult to be a chocoholic. Firecracker by Chuao Chocolatier... Sea salt, a dash of chipotle and popping candy crackle in dark chocolate. I call it my "Happy Chocolate". Dark chocolate, and the chipotle slowly warms your mouth (but doesn't burn), and a few seconds in the popping candle crackle starts up. The first piece I had the other night made me start laughing. So I bought more and gave a piece to my neighbor and she started laughing too. Tomorrow I find out if coworkers react the same. From the website: "Silky dark chocolate sizzles with a dash of chipotle and a sprinkling of sea salt until… SURPRISE! Popping candy explodes and starts a party in your mouth. The Firecracker ChocoPod. Welcome to the wild side of chocolate." - It really is a party in your mouth. My other tie-in for first place: Spicy Maya. From the website "A warm cinnamon embrace, velvety chocolate, and an infusion of cayenne and pasilla chile with just enough heat to melt your heart. The Spicy Maya ChocoPod is the perfect mix of sweet and seductive." Also: If you're ever in an ice cream shop and see "Dark Chocolate Tangerine" Trust me. Try it. Sadly it's not something the chocolate shop normally carries. So... for the sake of sharing: Do you like chocolate and, if so, what is your favorite? Hope everyone has a great rest of the week! And no stressing... I've done enough this week for ALL of us. And normally I sail calmly through high-stress and chaos situations. Rather "stressing like everybody else but hides it EXTREMELY well". Ah well... everybody is allowed an "off day" now and then. |
