Made a pot of coffee. Had a turkey sandwich. The sandwich was really good today. Roasted turkey on a kaiser roll, with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayo. A handful of Kettle brand Sour Cream and Onion chips. Bomb lunch. I declare this will be sufficient to be my usual lunch for the next couple of weeks.
Got the coat I ordered from Modcloth. Way too tight and baggy in the wrong places and completely unflattering. Will have to ship a return tomorrow.
Went to the Exton square mall with Mom and shopped all evening. Had a hamburger from Five Guys - first ever. Pretty good. Didn't realize the textbook hamburger was a double burger. With lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, ketchup. Fought back the urge to buy fries.
Also, the food court at the Exton Square Mall sucks. There is no sit-down joint - just food court fare. No decent pizza. A casual cafe would be nice. There's no sushi spot. No Carl's Jr. No Thai food, no decent Mexican food (but, of course, this is the suburban northeast). Sigh. I miss the authentic tacos of LA. The flavorful spiciness of Thai food. A hot bowl of pho noodles. A big slice of NY pizza. The dessert options and latte art of Urth Caffe.
Forgot how good a burger could be. Can't remember the last time I had one. Did I go to In-N-Out burger the last time I was in LA? Hmm. No, wait. I did have a burger back in LA. It was on a spur of the moment run - a McDonald's drive-thru. I ordered a hamburger happy meal. Yep. September. How sad - that was the last time I had a burger - and it was not premeditated. Will have to do it right and hit In-N-Out or Umami the next time.
Ended up getting a strawberry banana smoothie for dessert. Go health.
Went home. Made a hot cup of green tea. Ate a sugar cookie. Checked a few job boards. Answered some emails. Watched TV online. Applied to 4 jobs.
For belated dinner/midnight snack/my new dinnertime had some smoked salmon on a whole wheat English muffin.
Can't wait to get out of town over New Year's.
Mom is making her herbal tea, which sits on the island in the kitchen in a crock pot and boils for ten hours and stinks up the entire house. I am upstairs in my room, with the door closed. I can smell it from here. She gets it from somebody who gets it shipped from Korea. From what I can tell, it most closely resembles prunes and handfuls of grassy dirt thrown into a pot of boiling water. So, prune-dirt tea.
Need to get my thyroid checked. Have been breaking out, and the derma doc says it could be hormonal and I should get a blood test from an ob/gyn to check out my thyroid. Want to get it over with already. Need to make an appointment. But it's a blood test, so I'm imagining just popping into the office, having any nurse draw my blood sample, and I leave, and they call me with the results a couple days later. Need to go find an ob/gyn or thyroid doc.
Weird. My body is out of sync these days. I think I need more sunlight. Winter months are a big bummer to the immune system, anyway.
Total jobs applied to today: 4.
