Some Days Are Just Weird

To keep things brief, I am still off from work until Thursday. I was going to (happily) spend today cooking and unboxing more stuff, but I was thrown off schedule by serious body pain (Wow, getting old is not a joke. This move is going to take me a week to recover from, minimum) and a very weird interaction from someone I thought was a friend.

Just suddenly I found myself in a text conversation where said friend pushed me into a corner with saying they felt bad how we hadn't talked, ignored everything I said about how traumatic my move has been, and then decided to end our friendship by himself. In the span of half an hour. I am still pretty rattled by it. I'm hoping that maybe he realizes that he's blowing things out of proportion and we can be okay again. I am normally okay with just letting a bridge burn, but this person is literally close to the neighborhood we moved to. So it would be a real shame if we stopped talking right as we became neighbors. But that interaction has really soured my mood on what our friendship was.

Cooking

Despite the body pain slowing me down, I managed to cook another full batch of Moro and some Popoto Salad from the FF14 cookbook (the first one)! This potato salad is one of the boyfriend's favorites, and mine as well. I'll be keeping this made and stocked in the fridge until I'm sick of it, for sure. You can see it on the side of the rice in this picture.

I made the Back of the Back Oatmeal bread again!! Hoping to enjoy some sandwiches with this bad boy.

Thinking About Tomorrow

I didn't get to do any fighting games today. :(

Tomorrow I plan to organize the lion's share of the books since that was the task I took on. I just have to cut up some cardboard to act as makeshift shelves for the metal racks we have until we get a nice bookcase, which should be easily found at Costco. I hope we can go this weekend!
