H came to visit S and he kindly brought over my new fave snack: stroop·wa·fel (de ~) 

I love to eat it with a mug of hot coffee…just place a piece of stroopwaffel on top of the coffee cup to warm it up so that the caramel in between melts a little and you have the best tea break ever! 

Yums!

In a single fell swoop, I destroyed my rice cooker. 

I was going to cook some rice for dinner, so I took out the pot from the rice cooker and brought it to the rice bin when I discovered that I needed a bowl to measure out the rice. So I went to the cabinets to grab a bowl, filled it with the required amount of rice when my dog suddenly barked furiously…I got a startle and automatically just dumped the rice into the rice cooker (which had no pot since I removed it earlier on) 

Gah!!! No matter how much I shake and tilt, there’s tons of rice grains stuck inside and under the heating element.  

Time for a new rice cooker.

According to the hubs…this was all an elaborate set up to get meself one of those new fangled programmable rice cookers.
Wat can I say…it’s just good timing

Gah! The whole nausea and puking thing has kicked in the last 2 weeks.

This couple of days has been particularly bad especially during work hours. The air-freshener in the office is killing me!!

Nausea medication, ginger sweets, dry crackers have been no help. Things got so bad that the doc gave me two days MC. 

Fresh air is my best friend now.
