shut your mouth and see straight through me

I have dipped immediately back into a million tasks to do at work, thanks to being off for most of the last two weeks (well - I was working all last week, but as I was doing event-related stuff, it was not the kind of work that actually crosses tings off my to-do list).

Yesterday I slogged the entire day, after kicking things off with early morning allergy shots that I only mildly reacted to. I took a break to make cheeseburgers to go with some sweet corn, and then I was so tired that I was in bed by ten. I intended to get up and slog this morning, but instead I slept in until the grand hour of seven (so luxurious) and got cracking. I had a whole slew of meetings today, but they mostly went well, and my boss actually acknowledged that I might have too much stuff on my plate, so at least there's that.

When I was done with meetings, I sped into town to pick up some groceries and also get takeout from a random food truck that popped up in town. Random food trucks show up occasionally, and I usually find out about them through facebook. This one is Vietnamese and seemed promising, so I got some egg rolls, crab rangoon, and sweet and sour chicken for [censored] + pad thai for me. Vietnamese/Thai is much easier for gluten free than Chinese is, and their menu looked reasonably safe - not safe for celiac, but I think the pho would have been fully gluten free, the pad thai likely was, and the egg rolls were the thai style with rice paper instead of wonton wrappers, so they were safe too. I ate the crab rangoon to my extreme peril since I'm allergic to both crab and gluten, but I suspected that the crab was imitation, and I was correct. The meal immediately put me to sleep for thirty minutes, but it was pretty good and we would do it again if they come through on the right night.

After we ate, I took the aforementioned forced nap, then messed around, talked to [censored], and eventually did another hour of work. And now I need to sleep - goodnight!
