Day Fourty Eight.

    My first day back after my three day weekend was a very busy, high stress day at work. I had a feeling all day long that I was forgetting to do things and can't seem to shake it. I hate it when I feel I have to rush through the day and not be able to completely concentrate on everything I do. I tried to get out at a reasonable time which I did, I ended up leaving before 4pm.
    I had several things to do when I got done work but I ended up stopping home first because I forgot the location of my voting place. After I voted I had to stop at the bank, the food store and then the pet store to pick up my dogs food. It wasn't the worst visit to the pet store today, I only saw one cat but of course this one was sitting right on the counter top at the register! I tried to ignore it the best I could but when I got home my dog could definitely smell it. She spent a good 10 minutes sniffing every edge of the bag of food and me. I was pretty excited because when I left the voting place my boyfriend texted me that he was on the way....I couldn't believe he really got out of work early!
    When I got home I didn't have to wait to long until he got there and he started making dinner right away. The prep work was really intense and I was trying to help as much as I could before I hopped in the shower. It can be hard when I make dinner because I get really obsessive about the mess. This dinner actually was not bad because I got most of the clean up done before the meal was ready. We didn't eat until 9pm which is a little later than I wanted, but the Mexican beef stew was great. We were really surprised that it wasn't more spicy because he used a lot of hot peppers, but I think they got cooked down a lot. After we ate I finished cleaning up the mess and tried not to spend to much time on the little details. Like usual I try to convince myself that I will have plenty of time tomorrow when I'm alone to do all the obsessive clean up and that it's not right to do it when my boyfriend is here. I was a little upset with myself because after dinner I had some candy. Ugh, I really need to stop eating so much candy and get back into eating right. Alright, that's it for now.
