Everybody get your milk and bread sandwiches!

I don't know why everyone runs to get milk and bread when a storm hits. At least for a snowstorm, if the power goes out, your milk won't sour, but even during hurricanes, people will clear the milk cooler. What are you people going to do? Start chugging it when the power goes out? Do you soak bread in it? Why bread and milk?

I happened to go to Harris Teeter this afternoon to buy just milk and bread - specifically oat milk (because I was out of oat milk, and I wanted some with tomorrow's coffee) and a bread roll from the bakery to go with my soup.

Schools are already closed for Friday. We've had an inch of snow so far, and are forecasted to get another inch. Most people will work from home tomorrow. Previously, the office used to award people for working from home if they could with comp time, and not penalize people who didn't work from home when there was inclement weather. Now that everyone in the office has a laptop, when the schools are closed, we aren't required to work in the office, but are required to work, or take a PTO day. Hopefully I won't have many interruptions as I'm trying to finish some code for a report. Luckily I only have one meeting scheduled tomorrow, and I'll be done with work by 3:30.

I didn't go to the gym today since during my 3 mile commute, the rain turned into snow, and I passed by 2 accidents. Decided it'd be best to stay off the roads and just do all of the bodyweight exercises at home and call it good. I'm considering going to the gym at lunchtime tomorrow if the roads have warmed up by then - it's only 2 miles from my place, and it's convenient to get done during lunchtime.

The snow is supposed to taper off by 2am. We'll see what kind of winter wonderland we get!

Halloween Party and my costume

Image
This weekend, I attended an awesome Halloween party, and even dressed up as Hermoine Granger. I admit, it was a bit fun to dress up as Hermoine Granger. I took a lot of thought for my costume. I started searching for costumes on August 26th, and found a costume site on September 13th:  https://www.moviescostume.com/harry-potter-gryffindor-uniform-hermione-granger-cosplay-costume-adults-ver.html However, I didn't want to just drop over $100 on a costume I'll likely only wear once. What else can I do? Can I just build the costume from regular clothes? After all, Hermoine mostly wore a school uniform for the first few movies. Certainly I could do that. I set off to build my uniform. I got the skirt from Lands End. The socks , blazer , patch ,  tie  and wand from Amazon. The shirt came from J Jill, but I bought that about ten years ago or so, and the shoes I purchased last year from Belk. I referenced this guide to learn how to tie a Full Windsor Knot, a tie style wit

Board games and near the end of the gym challenge

Today was another success! Went to the gym after my two cups of coffee, warmed up the rest of the Picadillo for lunch, and finished a few chores. This evening, I was invited to a board game night with a few friends. We played Spinjas and Stuffed Fables. The gym was my last arm/chest routine day until the 31st, where I'll do the full body routine and see where I gained. I'm certain I didn't lose weight - way too many cookies and candies around to snack on, but hopefully I'm stronger. I certainly feel stronger and better, and that is enough to keep going. I'm looking forward to getting a better diet in January by not having sugar for the month, and continuing to go the the gym - just not daily. Stuffed Fables is a really cute game! We played Story 1 where a girl's blanket is stolen from a little girl's bed, and the Stuffed animals characters, Theadora, Stitch, Flops and Lumpy have to travel through the underworld to rescue the blanket and get back to bed b

Jose and Sons review

 I went with one of my friends to Jose and Sons Mexican restaurant on Glenwood Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road. I picked this place as I'd hear a lot of good things about it, and we were there early before the place got busy.  We were not impressed. The server was slow to get us our drinks, and did not get us chips and salsa, bur I could see his other tables got chips and salsa - turns out it was from a runner. We got ours eventually, (not from the server) but the first five minutes of our meal, we just stared at a bowl of guac and our two waters. No matter, maybe he was new. Maybe the kitchen was frying a new batch of chips. Maybe the bartender was new. While waiting, we noticed that the place looked like it needed new paint. In our booth, the pink paint was chipping off the wall. I was confused, because I thought they just moved here from downtown. They didn't even give the place a new coat of paint before moving in? The chips were warm, not hot, and the salsa was very sweet.
