The Sickness, The New Job, The Training, The Long Weekend

And that sums up my week. Started the new job officially on Monday, and didn't do a goddamn thing related to it all week. Got sick Sunday afternoon and spent the entire week being miserable. Found out Monday morning that I had to go to some training in Boston Wednesday and Friday. But not Thursday. Oh, no. They "understood" that I had to be back for a jury trial date. So, I had to drive to my folks' house, take the train in, take the train back, then drive back home, all in about 24 hours. Then I was super extra miserable the next day. So I called in sick Friday. The training was useless. Fuck'em all.

Thankfully, I'm finishing up a long weekend here at my folks' place. Drove back for the second time Friday afternoon after taking an extended sleepytime. Good food and comfort were on the menu all weekend. I helped make some homemade pizza today that was balls to the wall. It involved a roasted garlic/olive oil/parmesan/oregano spread on the dough followed by the pizza sauce, a mozzerella/sharp cheddar blend, then sliced tomato and crushed red pepper to top it off. It was awesome. There was also some chicken pot pie action, some chicken soup, and some apple crisp somewhere in there near the end.

It was awesome, and delicious!

Perhaps after I've some time to recover from my illness, I'll post again. Sorry.
