Today began with an ultrasound sandwich. No food and drink and an abdominal ultrasound was first on the agenda. Then I raced to Einstein's Bagel for a pumpkin bagel and Autumn Roast Coffee with a touch of cinnamon enjoyed on my way to work. Lunch was an educational seminar on digital papers sponsored by Mac Papers. The Chicken with Tarragon I ordered was actually decent for banquet fare. Then it was on to another ultrasound, this time of my pelvis. If you ever want to experience true torture, try drinking 32 ounces of water, waiting an hour until your bladder is about to burst and have someone squirt ice cold gel on you abdomen while they press a scope all sorts of places down there. Oh my...it was the worst!
Since I had to work late and endure the ultrasound torture, I decided to pretend I was not cash-starved and treat myself to an old favorite haunt for take out - Antonio's in Maitland. Tonight it was all about me! I ordered Lasagna Bolognese to go. And noticed it required 20 minutes to cook, so I took my pretend wealth to a new level and ordered a glass of Chianti while I waited. I toured their wine section with glass in hand gazing at all the options I could never afford. It was very relaxing. Soon the bag was ready and off I went to enjoy an evening at home. No baking. No cooking. Just the perfect portion of the perfect lasagna for the perfect tribute to me. Everyone needs to take the time to pamper themselves every once in a while. Try it...it is intoxicating.
Many hugs,
Kathy
