Stress Puppy

So last month was crazy with my sweetie working until anywhere between 12am and 3am and on the weekends and being stressed himself for a research paper. Then the week after that was working on his demo reel for Pixar. And in March I had over a week straight of daily migraines. Plus all of April I have a bunch of doctor and physical therapy appointments, a bunch of meetings, and am working for ReproGraphics up to about 2 hours a day. So I’ve been feeling pretty worn out too.

The good news is that my back (sciatica) and migraines seem to be doing much better. Just icing my back for 10 minutes 1-3 times a day has really helped, and no side affects like the Naproxen. Naproxen is basically Aleve, so I might try that when I run out at a lower dose and see if that works without upsetting my stomach.

Lots of plans today (haircut, cookie baking, working in Meow’s yard possibly & then MM’s graduation bbq), so I’m off!

Speaking of Chocolates

A coworker brought in some espresso truffles from Starbucks. They came in purple wrappers with no branding and she didn’t bring the package in, so I don’t know who actually makes them, but they were fabulous! A rich chocolate flavor, and the coffee flavor was as strong as it could be without edging over into being yucky. Mmmmmm. I want more! They disappeared fast.

And Google to the rescue! They were: Milk Chocolate Caffè Mocha Truffles though the reviewer on that site didn’t care for them.
