Calmness and soothing ~ma!

I baked my morning oatmeal with coconut oil and chocolate chips this morning and think I'm gonna have to make it again for dinner/dessert. Con: 20 minute wait plus cooking time Pro: warm gooey chocolates oatmealey goodness. I even forgot to add honey before cooking and it was still amazing with a little honey drizzled on top afterwards.

I baked my morning oatmeal with coconut oil and chocolate chips this morning

Coconut oil in oatmeal is AMAZEBALLS. I thank whatever random impulse made me try it the other morning. And it fills me up for a lot longer than non-coconut-oil oatmeal does. Because, okay, oatmeal is BIG-TIME fiber, right? Should be filling. And it is, but then I'm hungry -- starving, really -- within 90 minutes or less. Even when I put protein powder in it, I'm still hungry again really quickly.

But as soon as I put coconut oil in it, I was full for hours. Magic! Tasty magic!

Tasty magic is my favorite kind!

Maybe I'll do cocoa powder tomorrow. Yum!

calm-ma, sj. If it helps, my mother was under anesthesia for almost 6 hours and did just fine.

I was under for the foot surgery and I was very concerned before. But after I was amazed that I had no clue and felt completely normal. Like a miracle of science and stuff.

Much love and calm~ma headed your way.

I've been under anesthesia before. So logically I know it isn't a big deal, but I'm not really using the logical part of my brain right now.

Teppy, yeah I've been doing comfort TV all day. And now I'm going to attempt sleep.

Overheard at work today (on the 911 line, no less): "so a big dog is mounting a little dog and you think police need to come protect the little dog? Um.....where are the dogs owners? Have you talked to them? They're laughing and not pulling the dogs apart? Um......" Just an overly concerned passerby.

Also, a business wanting the fire department to come shovel their parking lot. "They're all so big and strong and they hardly ever have actual fires to fight....it would give them something to do." Methinks the fire fighters might disagree, but she did kinda have a point. Still not a chance.

Was there anything said in the meeting which you can learn/change from? Since you can't change your bosses and their lack of leadership, was there anything you can use to help improve your own work? That's usually the only benefit to be gained from a situation like this, sadly.

You really can't change bosses or lack of leadership. But you can figure out what matters to the people you can't change. Scrappy is, as usual, wise.

Everything is ad hoc, chaotic, confused. Boss wasn't thinking things through enough to procure key this weekend.

Awww, we work at the same place. I am sorry.

Calmness and soothing ~ma, sj.
