Day 56 - ah, well

It's a strange day today. I hate it when I need information and nobody seems to provide. It feels like my office has been forgotten by the headquarters. This makes me irritated and I'm hanging by my nerves, really. We're having a new co-worker tomorrow but no computer for him, cause nobody provided, despite my instructions. We need new phones that are lost somewhere. We're moving location soon and God knows if the internet connection will be established by then. So far, it doesn't seem very possible.

And I'm flying to Paris on Saturday and, besides flight tickets and the hotel, I have and know nothing. Not even how to come from airport to the hotel.

There's been a lot of visiting this past weekend and a lot of questions and almost accusations about my choice of menu. I don't like it, when everyone tries to convert you to eating meat again and demand explanations. I don't impose my diet on anyone and would appreciate if the family let me be as well, thank you very much. Well, it hasn't all been bad, I did have some support as well, but most of them would just prefer me eating meat again. Not going to happen that though, if I can help it!

The funniest episode was when I received a whole pot of goulash right in front of my nose and had to exchange seats because of it. Then everyone was trying to get me eat it with polenta, while my angel mom made me some barley. Even my cousin loaded her plate with polenta and goulash but avoided meat and told me "I don't eat meat as well!" No kidding.

Well, it was not all bad, me and my boyfriend did have a good time and even found the time to wash the car! I got a load of fresh baby spinach that I need to somehow put to use before Saturday. Sunday was another family meal in a place with, well, too much meat on the menu. Luckily, my boyfriend saved the day and spotted a vegetarian meal on the menu, which turned out to be great, especially because I got a load of baked young potatoes while the other got french fries! :)

  1. Enjoy Paris, honey :) have you ever been there before? it's really beautiful!! and don't worry, you can walk a lot, too and once you figure out the underground a bit, it's gonna be just alright ;)

    Btw., I totally feel with you that your family doesn't want you to eat this way - if I came up with anything like that officially, my mom would SO make sure that I eat all kinds of food... no understanding for "it's a healthy lifestyle, too" whatsoever :D

  2. Yay, we just figured how to reach the city from the airport, can you believe it :) I don't know when was the last time (if ever) that I didn't bother to look up information, not even a bit :)

    Ahh, my food, my life. No one will tell me what I HAVE to eat :) I'll eat what I like, thank you very much :)

    You should, too :))
