こんばんは。How’s it going?

This morning I slept in until 11 am to get some extra energy. I was wondering if it is best to force yourself out of jetlag by adhering to normal hours, or if that will weaken your immune system. I guess it’s a tradeoff… but I really needed to get a few extra hours of sleep.

Anyways, when I woke up the kids said they were hungry so I mentioned that I had brought back some patties from my mom’s house and they were all for having a couple for lunch. The patties go so fast here at our house that I should probably hide a couple in the back of the freezer for myself. 😆

In the evening we had some old and new friends over for dinner, and we decided to make tacos, with beer-battered shrimp and cabbage as the main filling. I also made a large batch of carnitas in our Instant Pot for tonight and tomorrow’s dinner. Our friends prepared a delicious cactus salsa which went perfectly with the tortilla chips, but also on the tacos. And of course, I had to make some margaritas for sipping. 🍹 Finally, we had a huge assortment of desserts to enjoy with coffee before calling it a night. Very fun to hang out with old friends and make some new ones as well!

Today I returned to work, although as luck would have it, Wednesdays are the day I usually can work from home! Yay! And I really needed it because I was so sleepy, I nodded off a couple times during the day. But overall I did ok fighting the jetlag. However, the creative part of my brain was not operating at high capacity so I busied myself with planning and reviewing other designs.

But enough of that. I rarely mention work on my blog and I don’t intend to start now. 😆

Tonight’s dinner was a simple but delicious chicken and rice meal, with three different types of sauces: sweet chili, soy/oyster, and soy/sesame/cilantro. They were all tasty. 😋

I hope you had a great day!
