That’s not Diet Soda

Sunday afternoon went on just fine.  I made it to the Mexican place, service sucked a little bit because they were slow to take my order.  When the waiter finally came over I told him everything I wanted.  He took his sweet time bringing me my Diet Soda which turned out to be regular soda.  This is the second time that has happened here.  The food was delicious as always and I did enjoy it.  They plated it a little differently which was a surprise and from the time the order gets to the kitchen to when it arrives at your table is super quick.  I didn’t drink much soda because regular soda actually makes me ill.  I can’t handle all of that sugar.  I know I could have said something but just opted not to, kind of eat and get back home. 

The trip home had a bunch of tire treads in the highway and a bunch of broken down vehicles.  They just kept coming the closer I got to home.  It was a super hot day out and I know that most people really don’t take care of their tires like they should.  I’m pretty anal about it and once a month check to make sure the pressure is set properly and I check it in the morning before doing any traveling.  That’s the best way to get an accurate measurement.  Not to say that I won’t ever blow a tire or have problems but I think that the odds are unlikely.  Tires are not cheap and having bought several over the years I learned the hard way about alignment, pressure, rotation and balancing.  It all plays a part into making sure you get the most out of your tires. 

I was back home way faster than I thought I would be.  I had passed out supper for the cats before I left because Rudy was doing his biscuit dance.  They enjoyed it.  We got to spend some time together before I gave in for treats.  I nursed on a bottle of cold water and that helped to flush the sugar out of my system. 

I woke up this morning feeling fine.  I’ve already taken a break and had a nap just because there isn’t anything going on for me at work.  I did get a call from my boss and had to check on something but otherwise I am totally free for the day.  I am keeping a watchful eye on email and if something crops up I will certainly jump in. 

It’s about lunch time and the fridge is full between what I picked up at the grocery store yesterday and the left over pizza from Saturday.  I will be eating pretty good this week.  This is the first week that I was able to find Chocolate Cake at the Grocery Store, they only had 2 pieces I am proud to say I bought them both.  I look so forward to getting some cake this week and sadly that’s not euphemism but I will enjoy it never the less. 

Time to gobble some lunch and waste away the afternoon.  Hope that your all having a good Monday.

Very annoying when they give regular soda instead of diet. What if you were diabetic? This mistake could be tragic.
