Feeling sorry for myself

[elusivek]

So in the family March Birthday Lunch yesterday, the restaurant we went to had an expresso machine and a soft ice cream machine. It's a buffet, and as a self-proclaimed Asian, an Asian doesn't eat at a Buffet to get full, an Asian eats at a Buffet to recover the cost! The amount of cheese I had was unimaginable, probably unhealthy! But proper Gouda cheese, Brie cheese and Blue cheese are like... really expensive here. And then shrimps! Or are they prawns? Whatever. What I call shrimps! A whole plateful. I didn't get any sashimi, because, the sashimi station only serves Salmon. Cherry picked a couple of desserts. They cheated me out of a sacher cake. The SIGN said Sacher cake. But it was the same cake as the Chocolate coffee cake on the other side.

Anyway, back to the expresso machine and soft ice cream machine, I made myself an Affogato type of deal. It was delicious.

Well. I also learned that at my age, I should quit the coffee. I. COULDN'T. SLEEP! Last night. The whole household had lights off at 11.30ish pm. I was in my bed rolling around until 2am. No sleep. Then. The Devil's Reincarnate started messing around my room. Oh, and who is the Devil's Reincarnate? NUTMEG THE CAT! I may just skin that cat alive one day. Slept on my chest. Came up to my face. Licked me with her sandpaper tongue. Then she bit me! So I pushed her away. Then she jumped to my desk and started throwing everything off. I decided to ignore and tried to sleep. She left for a bit. Then she had a case of zoomies and was just running to and from my room to somewhere (maybe my Sis' room).

After much struggling with the cat, I think I kind of managed a short nap at around 4 or 5am, when I heard my Dad taking the 20-year-old dog out to the verandah for pee-pee. At least I had some 3 hours of sleep. I was so tired at work. But I did not touch any coffee.

My friend got me another translation job. So if she passes the tender, I get a little side gig again. She wanted me to do the Portuguese as well, so I said no. She's now found a lady who would wait for my English translation, then use that to translate to Portuguese.

Exciting times.

Probably it was the combination of caffeine and sugar from the espresso and ice cream. I can't do sugar after 4 p.m.

"an Asian doesn't eat at a Buffet to get full, an Asian eats at a Buffet to recover the cost" I laughed out loud at that, and had a flashback to going to buffets with family or friends and just plate after plate of king crab legs. xD We don't stop eating until we hate ourselves.

Oof I'm sorry about the caffeine sensitivity. I'm the same way now as I get older. A strict no caffeine after 2pm.
