The Daily Balance

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I had a HORRIBLE day today! Super busy at work and lots of unnecessary drama. I didn’t even get to eat lunch until after 3:00! Let’s just say I was quite relieved when the clock struck 5:00.

I was even more relieved when the Mister (husband of the year ) told me he was taking me out to dinner — WHEREVER I wanted. Oh, the possibilities! I considered suggesting we drive to Columbus to get my FAVORITE Pasquales bread rolls, but I came back to reality and remembered that I had been craving sushi.

Sushi it was! We went to a newer sushi restaurant that opened close by and were very impressed by their maiki specialty roll offerings. I got the Philly Dream and the Cali-Avocado. Philly Dream - avocado and cream cheese with salmon on top. Cali-Avocado - california roll with avocado on top. Both were delish, but extremely filling! I couldn’t even finish two pieces of the Cali-avocado (and that never happens!). There was a LOT of avocado between the two rolls though, so I’m sure that played a large part in the full-factor.

After a great meal and spending some quality time with the Mister, I’m already feeling so much better and the day’s unpleasantries are behind me. Now it’s time to find something sweet to snack on (hello, Only 8!) and cuddle up to watch shows on the DVR and Grey’s! I’m hoping for a good episode, because I’ve been a little disappointed lately. Do you guys watch Grey’s? What do you think?

I’m also quite excited for the Office – always fantastic! And Parks and Recreation (it’s growing on me!). Can you tell that cuddling up and watching TV with the Mister is my favorite way to relax?

How do you unwind after a bad day?

   I love Grey’s – am looking forward to it! After a bad day I like a warm bath, chocolate, and a good book…or a nice sweaty workout!

   That sushi looks SSOOOOO good!! I love those rolls with other stuff on top. I do watch Greys, and have thought the last few episodes were better than earlier in the season!

   Sorry to hear your day wasn’t all that great – but tomorrow is Friday! Something to look forward to

   I always take a nice hot bath to unwind after a particulary long day. Sushi usually helps too

   Hope you feel better!

   Love, Meg

   Sorry you had a rough day, but I’m glad it ended with amazing sushi and cuddling! I’m jealous

   To counteract a bad day I love to crawl into bed, watch some late night Lifetime (Will and Grace reruns anyone?) and read blogs!

   I’m glad sushi and cuddling made the day better! The sushi looks awesome by the way…

   I like to go for a walk in my neighborhood after a bad day.

   I would chose sushi, too! Those rolls look delicious–Cali Avocado in particular!
   Yeah, I hope Grey’s gets better soon…I’m not thrilled with the Izzie storyline

    That’s definitely a good way to unwind after a bad day I also love Grey’s, but yes, it has been disappointing lately It’s never been as good as the first 2 seasons (we can stretch it onto 3), which were just AMAZING. It was just the perfect show! I rewatch them once in a while
