february: week two

06: lol i was so stuffed up the entire day, but the office was pretty full! i got to meet david cowing and noelle came back! she gave me purell and clorox wipes to keep everything disinfected. i felt pretty dead but i could still work. the day went by pretty fast and frank ended up coming in as well. i learned about patriot’s day in april and also the parade tomorrow. i asked phil if i could work from home due to my illness and coincidentally, the parade was happening so there was no way any of us were going to commute to the office to work lol. charles kept me company today and he recommended the ribeye sandwich from foumami. mmmm. i had kimbap for lunch and the receptionist informed me that there were multiple ways of getting hot water~ she’s my savior <3 i made it to the end of the day and got everything i wanted to get done, done!

i left work right at 5 pm so the train wasn’t super crowded. i made shiitake gohan and then i worked out while kevin was out climbing. i got to shower before he came back and then we ate dinner~ we had leftover oyakodon. we also ate the pomelo, which was oddly sour?! the ones i pick are usually sweet ): we watched supernatural and i ko’d on the couch while kevin did the dishes. zzz. i woke up disgruntled and bloated (i also snacked on frango chocolate and the snyder honey mustard and onion pretzels) so i did a bit more cardio, brushed my teeth, and got into bed at around 1 am? i waited for kevin to finish gaming to sleep. i spent time on youtube and facebook. we went to sleep pretty late? but i took a 1 hour nap earlier so it didn’t feel late for me.

07: i stayed in bed until 9:30 am and then got ready for the day. i had one mission today for work and it seemed pretty achievable until i realized that my work laptop works only with usb-c’s and i had a mouse receiver that was usb and a monitor that was hdmi connected. ugh. so i emailed beth and friends to see if i misplaced it? i don’t remember getting any of these adapters T_T so i worked with two laptops out and my monitor. i used my personal laptop to do actual work and my work laptop to reference material and search things if i needed to. kevin worked from home today as well :3 he steamed pork buns for us in the morning and we made shiitake gohan again for lunch. we mainly got on calls and just worked next to each other. kevin took a lot of breaks LOL. i worked until 6 pm because of my late start and i left some work for tomorrow morning until i could connect with phil. i feel a lot better, but still sniffly.

i worked on some daily tasks and then walked around the apartment with a fleece blanket on LOL. i eventually walked to bed and fell asleep?! i woke up and helped kevin make the noodles for our chicken khao soi and then we ate dinner while watching supernatural. i had a skype date with jeanne at 9 pm but we pushed it back to 9:30 pm so me and kevin could finish watching an episode. i caught up with this girl and talked to her for about an hour and thirty minutes before i went to exercise and she went to edit and upload pictures LOL. i did the 45 minute 500 calorie burning popsugar workout and then i showered and washed the dishes. i stayed up later than i expected and went to sleep at like 2 am or something...

08: i was debating whether or not to work from home or go, but i felt awake and i curled my hair so i made myself go. plus, i missed the office a lot yesterday (especially the monitor and the keyboard and mouse). i was running a bit late but i made it on to the usual train. there weren’t as many people as i expected? i got in and thought i was going to be alone in my desk area but charles came in! it was a 75% full office. i got to talk to michelle and jim about their commute and michelle commutes by boat?! whut. i also learned that there was black ice and north of boston was experiencing a ton of commuting delays and traffic accidents x__x it was a pretty chill morning. i ate lunch at 12:45 pm and then thanks to charles, i went to foumami and got myself a hot cinnamon tea and scallion pancakes. their scallion pancakes are bomb af! the tea is too sugary and a bit sour? idk how to describe it. i was hoping for a gingery taste but i got none of that. poo. i stayed at work a bit later to go over our material for our client training tomorrow. then i had to bring some work home with me because we made last minute changes.

kevin and i commuted back together and then he helped me look up hdmi to usb-c adapters so that i could use my monitor at home for wfh tomorrow. the cables he brought back from fitbit didn’t work :( so then we drove to the apple store and we found out how to check out o__o; apparently you just self-check out inside the stores with your phone! we got a representative though and he told us and checked us out with his portable credit card thingy. then we stopped by bj’s and got some challah bread to make french toast tomorrow for breakfast since it’s gonna be blizzarding. we got back, i worked more than i thought i would, made kevin wait for me (i sorry), and then we ate dinner and watched an episode of supernatural. i did lower back exercises and some cardio today. then i bummed and washed the dishes while waiting for this boy to finish using the bathroom T__T he took forever so i got hella pissed. i haven’t washed my hair in a while and i really wanted to but i couldn’t because it was too late with the time he took in there. D:< so i let kevin have it and then i showered, took out the garbage, and then slept on the sofa LOL. at 3 am or something kevin asked me to come to bed to sleep and i willingly did. it was getting cold. x__x

09: we both kinda slept in but i had a call at 10 am so i got up with enough time to edit and finish changing some things before the call with the client. it was a really long call but phil led a wonderful session and everyone was super receptive! right after the call, kevin and i made french toast for lunch and then we went back to work. kevin had calls until 3 pm and i had to catch up with phil and do a bit more work on the previous project. then i worked on a smaller new one and ended my day a bit early with that because phil had to meet with dave on something and there are things that i can still do tomorrow morning. i’ll meet with him right at 12 pm though. i spent some quality time with kevin after i finished work. this guy annoyed me though! it didn’t seem like he was doing work at all. he kept watching streams and playing pokemon showdown...hmph! i fell asleep for a bit and kevin made us oyakodon. he really likes it haha.

i woke up and watched some youtube videos and then got up to help a bit before dinner was ready! we watched two episodes of supernatural and it was only 10 pm when we were done :O we have so much time if we don’t commute to work! i do realize that i enjoy going to the office to work though. it’s nice to have a work from home day once in a while, but 2x a week is a bit much for me? i feel disconnected from the team a bit. i think maybe once every two weeks sounds nice. so that means twice a month would probably be the optimal level of work from home haha. anyway, kevin went to shower and game while i did a new popsugar dance video -- except that it was kinda dance in the beginning and then they started doing downward dogs and more toning things rather than cardio. so i switched over to another one that was definitely cardio and i loved it. it was hip hop cardio for like 20 minutes? i only did 10 minutes of it to complete my 30 minute of cardio. then chloe kicked my ass (but actually my obliques) with her video and i did two more oblique videos. it felt good. i can breathe when i workout! i showered, washed dishes, and watched kevin play some pokemon showdown, and then made note of what to do tomorrow.

10: both kevin and i worked from home again today. we’ve basically had like a 4-day weekend in a way. we woke up pretty late, but i didn’t have much to work on for the most part. i did make things for myself to do though. phil didn’t have much for me either. the server was real slow so i kind of finished up my day early as well. i got my second paycheck today and i was a bit disappointed in how much i got. i’m happy that i have started my 401k but kevin helped me calculate the amount i would get minus taxes and my contribution earlier and the amount i got was lower (not significantly but also not small). i guess i’ll put in less for student loans, but eh. haha, i forgot to attend my standup meeting yesterday and phil confirmed it because i wasn’t sure either -- i was obviously working during the standup meeting. phil said it was ok though and he knew i was working, haha. that reassured me a bit x__x;

we stopped by the deco valentine’s day fair and snacked on some brownie bites and ferrero roches. we got a free 10 minute massage and then i found the cutest but pretty expensive pouch. there was an india hicks booth and that was one of the first things we saw and i was in love. i didn’t know the price but she told me it was $68, i kind of freaked, walked around to think about, kevin encouraged me to treat myself, and i got it. i didn’t know we had to pay for shipping or else i would have gotten the one on display, but oh well. a bit bummed but i will now make definite use of this pouch! i talked with some peeps about it and they said that it was cute and reassured me about my purchase. :P we had leftovers for dinner and we finished watching season 11 of supernatural and then started watching season 12 via streaming. idk what the synopsis of this season is...it’s a bit weird. kevin went to game and i worked out my butt and did intense cardio dance. i was dripping sweat. then i showered and cuddled in bed and went on my phone until i went to sleep at 1 or 2 am.

11: we woke up just in time to make french toast and tea, change, and eat before driving out to our massage appointment at chinatown pain relief. we found a parking spot fairly easily and got there just a bit past 1 pm. the owner was super nice and we waited a bit before going into our rooms. we separated because the owner said it would be nicer than sharing an open room. the yelp reviews were way different from what we experienced. we had a regular massage experience unlike the sitting ones that were yelped about. well, my masseuse went into me and she was like ‘wtf did you do to your back? it’s so tight.’ she had me laughing at my own pain and breathing heavily and tensing up when she dug into me. omg the most painful massage i’ve ever received, but like she said, “no pain, no gain” with chinese massages. LOL. kevin apparently heard me in the next room hahaha. my back was wrecked after. we went downstairs to get chatime and it was aiight. oh my tea is still my #1. we drove back right after because we were full from the french toast and didn’t want to get dim sum as planned.

kevin went climbing while i took an unexpected nap...i was so tired from the massage that i just ko’d, woke up, and ko’d again until kevin came back. he skyped with brittany and mike. i tried waiting to eat dinner with him by playing some pokemon but i got real hungry so i just ate and then watched supernatural with kevin while he ate. he gamed for the rest of the day so i exercised and then curled my hair, showered, cleaned the bathroom, and cleaned the kitchen before heading to bed. i watched youtube videos in bed and knocked out at some time? i don’t remember anything else haha.

12: we got up at like 12 pm ahah. we had potstickers for breakfast and watched supernatural. i added in a sweet potato and it tasted bitter af in some parts so i ended up throwing some of it out T_T then we planned our meals for the week and kevin gamed while i watched the latest episode of reign while uploading facebook photos! it was snowing so i mentioned making a snowman with kevin outside and he agreed! we bundled up and then went out there in our snow gear and although kevin was doubtful that the snow wasn’t the right consistency, the weather came through! the snow was perfect for snowballs and snowmen! we had a mini snowball fight and then i rolled up my first giant snowball! AHHH it was so much fun! i went back in to get my SD card for my camera and documented some of the process while trying to help. then kevin went in to get a carrot and some clothes for our snowman. we evened him out together and then had a photo shoot before my camera got waterlogged. kevin made a snow tripod for my camera to sit on (on top of my book bag) so we could fit a good amount of us in the picture.

we went back inside to change clothes, dry our clothes, and we were going to get hot chocolate but the deco machine was broken :( we went back, kevin talked to his dad for a bit, i snacked a bit, and then we headed to kam man. it was pretty snowy out there... we got our groceries, drove to bj’s, got snacks, and then got back to deco. some person blatantly ran a red light that didn’t just turn red. wtf! anyway, we got back, microwaved some leftovers and snacked while watching supernatural. then kevin prepped the bulgolgi for tomorrow’s lunch and dinner. we found out that there’s another snow warning so it’s probably going to be another wfh day for us. i washed some dishes, we went back to watching supernatural and eating more leftovers with freshly cooked rice. i did laundry, kevin vacuumed and swiffered the floor, and then he showered. i exercised and then i edited our pictures from today and uploaded them. hehehe i’m so happy with them. then i took out the rice cakes to defrost and called it a night.
