Daily 5 - Day 216

Today's Daily 5:

1. CEO is out of town this week at work.  It's amazing how much less tension there is in the office when he's away.  And so much less posturing too.  It's almost peaceful, and that is definitely worth celebrating at the soap opera!
2. Had Indian food for dinner with Faye tonight.  Twas a good selection.  I liked a few, found the rest relatively edible.  I do have to say though, that while Indian food tastes and smells good, it's got to be one of the grosser looking cuisines out there.  Or at least the stuff on this buffet was.  Sort of universally brown sauces - quite unfortunate looking, though lovely to taste.  And I liked the fresh naan bread too.
3. Also walked around a park for a while with Faye, talking and catching up.  It was nice to enjoy the added daylight for a bit, while walking and laughing.
4. Grandma was actually out when I got home - which was great - because Faye needed to borrow something from me, and could come in without facing the interrogation, or me facing it later.  And it meant I had 20 blessed minutes to shower and relax and enjoy knowing I was ALONE before she got back.
5. Sounds so ridiculous, but I was just as happy about the food I cooked last night when I ate it again for lunch today.  It was so nice to be eating "real" food, home made, and healthy.  I felt better just thinking about it!
