Amanda is sleeping upstairs. She has been working a lot in the ER, but she is halfway done with the rotation now. We had dinner at Tamarind Tree in honor of the holiday season.
Tomorrow we are having a couple of people over for dinner. I imagine Amanda will sleep quite a long time tonight… which will be good since she has the evening to morning shift on xmas day.
Today I looked for a gift for Amanda downtown since previously she insisted many times that she wanted a present for holidays. Tonight, however, she disclaimed all knowledge of her previous gift-demanding ways. Translation: she didn’t get me anything.
Downtown was pretty busy, but not as packed as I would have thought. I imagine Bel Square and burbs were a lot busier. It would have been a nice day to wander around the city, but, I was like on a mission and there was no time for lollygagging.
I am currently having a tea shortage. I ripped through my last shipment of tea much faster than normal, but my next order probably won’t be here for a while due to the holidays. I almost bought some downtown but it is too expensive even in bulk compared to online (in the quantities I consume it). I am drinking a crazy amount of tea nowadays, especially since it is cold and I have stopped drinking diet coke/pepsi. I probably drinking 12+ servings a day.
All and all, a lot of tea, but hopefully it is better than all the diet carbonated beverages I used to drink. A goal for the new years is to replace some of that tea with plain water and to not consume caffeine after 2pm. I don’t usually drink it after 5pm now, but I do slip sometimes.
