Planning

     So much to do... so friggin' little time!

     

     Yes that last part now takes on new meaning to me but let's not focus on that now.

     I have been stressing about distracting myself with an endless task list for the next 48 hours. I am currently baking a banana bread which I will take to a potluck at work tomorrow morning. It is an easy recipe and I'm quite glad to mess with it to make it better.

     I have not mentioned (I think) that as an upcoming triple-threat, I am a writer, singer and a CHEF!

    Well... actually I classify a chef as someone who's worked about 10yrs in their respected field. So... I am merely a cook. Still.

     I graduated culinary school with an Associate Degree in Culinary Arts in 2012 and since, I've had multiple jobs within kitchens. I still have so much to learn and eat and make... part of why I'm so anxious about it all ending. Like why the...

     FOCUS!

     I wasn't even supposed to work tomorrow. I chose to pick-up the shift. The potluck just happened to be that day right before Thanksgiving (which is weird cuz it should take place afterward to get rid of the leftovers) so I decided to bring homemade banana bread. I have made this before for my in-laws and it's been a smash so now, I take it to work.

     Speaking of my in-laws, Thanksgiving is at their house! So Thursday morning, I'm going to wake up, eat a small breakfast, get dressed and go visit my dad at the cemetery because I couldn't go for father's day. Then I will come back home, hopefully nap for a while, and wake up in time to go to my boyfriend's house with my mom in tow.

     That has it's own significance as this will be the first time my mother will be introduced to his family in eight years!

     Needless to say, we are both sweating.

     Wondering if Thanksgiving will be something to be grateful for... or if it'll be a traditional disaster, til next time!
