🎶 I love this song so much!
Here’s a view of the fun clouds I got to watch this afternoon from work.

I’m still in a bit of a post-vacation blue mood… but I like it. 😋

“Patties” Cedar Park, 2018
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!

Back to the Office
“The Commute” Cedar Park, 2018
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Well, it was my first day back to the office, and I have to say that it was a bit of a struggle to stay focused and awake. Even though my sleep pattern is more or less normal at night, I feel like I am in a haze and lightheaded. Also, the vacation kind of seems like a dream that I don’t want to wake up from. 😪
I hope you had a nice day!

Jetlag Day
“Rice and Chicken” Cedar Park, 2018
こんばんは。How’s it going?
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!

Back to Texas
“Bye California” Long Beach, 2018
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Well, I’m back home. It has been a great trip but unfortunately, vacation’s over. As my friend told me, “Even banquets have to end”. 😢
“My Plane” Long Beach, 2018
The trip from California to Texas was actually quite good. I made it through security quickly, and while waiting at the gate, the Jetblue gate attendant asked me if I’d like to switch my seat to an “Even More Space” type if I was willing to be in the exit row. I agreed, and the gate attendant assigned me his favorite seat, which is special because the seat in front does not recline! It was so nice. Even though I have short legs, the extra space is welcome. 😀

To add to the “luxury”, I got to feast on a pastrami sandwich that my mom made for me. So good… 😋
“Lunch Spread” LGB-AUS, 2018
It was nice to see my family again after over two weeks of being away. And the super-bonus was that I got to enjoy my favorite meal, oyakodon. ❤
