After so many days of parades, parties, over-indulging in food and drink you need a break. Ash Wednesday is that break in NOLA. We rested, we recovered and then we were thrown back into reality on Thursday. Back to work, back to eating like normal people, back to realizing that just because it’s Mardi Gras doesn’t mean the scale doesn’t notice. But guess what, it’s not a bad reality so who am I to complain. Getting back to work wasn’t easy, I think I stared at my computer more than I actually used it. But then I decided to buckle down and convinced a friend to bring me a giant vanilla latte and that certainly helped.
My gratitude comes from having a friend who would do that for me and having a workplace where everyone understands that even though you just had 5 straight days off, they weren’t really days of rest so we all know that today wouldn’t be the most productive. So thanks for the coffee and thanks for letting me be lazy all day world….I appreciate it.
