the ants enjoyed my treats
Yesterday was an unlucky day (read: title lol)
Sometimes I have days where I feel like lots of unlucky things happen at once. I always think about Animal Crossing Bad Luck days when that happens. LOL.
Also I’m at the start of my period (which isn’t unlucky, just sucks more when you’re already emotional b/c of things your body can’t control).
A new French bakery opened up near us so I popped over there during a quick break in my morning to pick up some treats for myself and a coworker and try it for the first time. I LOVE cute baked treats. I was able to enjoy some of the petit fours and madelines in the morning (and my coworker got their croissant too).
Unfortunately I didn’t realize the table I set them had some ants, and when I came back a few hours later in the early afternoon to try the croissant, it was swarmed! UGH!! I had to throw the box away and also let everyone know so we could dispose the trash and check other areas of the shop.
I couldn’t really concentrate after that because I was sad about my treats, so I shifted to work on shipping packages out instead only to find that our package weighing scale wasn’t registering any weights?? So that was a bust too… haha…
I also ran into a crazy amount of traffic on my way home (multiple accidents) and a hairball on my bed. :( Not so fun when I was ready to change into my pjs and relax.
On a side note, yesterday (before I discovered the ants!!) I started reading Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport.
I like reading self-help books since I like seeing different people’s takes and they are easy reads during my lunch. Fun fiction & reading longer novels is for when I have bigger chunks of time to really get into books.
I love the irony of reading the ebook version on my iPad. Yay for Libby. I also ran into a new word (specious) that I've added to my running word list.
