Day 22: Thailand Coup and Food Trucks…it must be Thursday

OakMonster.com - Thailand Coup 2014

5 Thoughts Thailand has a coup. It’s also a Thursday. My family’s fine. I’m fine. Nothing to see here, folks. Really. It’s not what you think it is. See my friend Greg’s post from the middle of the action. I realized today why I have been feeling a little bit stuffy-headed and a little woozy about the same time at work everyday since I’ve gotten the cold. I should stop taking extra strength cough medicine on empty stomach first thing in the morning. Whoops. Kogi truck went past me when I was coming home from work. So I checked twitter...

5 Thoughts Being sick threw me off my eating schedule horrendously because I didn’t want to eat anything, let alone seven times a day. Now I’m trying get back in the game. Being sick also got me off track with tracking my meal on MyFitnessPal…which wasn’t good for my morale anyway. I decided to drop it all together and just keeping track of what I ate on Evernote. Being sick is working out my abs. All this coughing is giving me some definition. Neat-o! I realized I haven’t worked out in a month. My schedule has been all messed up...

5 Thoughts You know you’re still sick when you turned down cake. Seriously. Worse yet when you look at a picture of bacon and your mind says meh. And all I wanted to eat today was crunchy, crispy, salty things. And tea or warm things to drink. I didn’t think I would be able to eat dinner either when I went to dinner with my aunt’s family. But being around family in front of plates of Thai food, that kind of changes things. 3 servings of rice, Tom Yum broth, and Thai omelet with Sriraja Panich (aka the REAL Sriracha)...

Day 19: Can A Sick Hobbit Eat?

5 Thoughts Sick as a dog. Seriously. I should’ve stayed home yesterday instead of toughing it out. I don’t want to eat anything. There’s no way the Hobbit thing is happening today. I want to nap though. Nap is good. Thank god for NCIS marathon. Seriously. Best thing to keep you company when you’re sick. Urgh. Today’s Photo Nothing. Nada. I can barely lift my head, are you kidding? Breakfast Nyquil Second Breakfast Echinacea tea with honey. Elevensies Last little bit of the pasta and chicken with artichoke. More tea. I made myself eat that. With all the meds I’m taking,...

Day 18: Tea for Three

OakMonster.com - Tea for Three

5 Thoughts Waking up coughing in the middle of the night is no fun. My throat is a little sore and I feel a little feverish but that’s not going to stop me from heading out to the Huntington Library with great friends! What a glorious day to be out there! Oh sheesh…the fever is really kicking in now. GODZILLA!!!!!! Oh my god. You guys. Find the biggest theater near you and see it in 3D IMAX. Don’t think about the plot or the story line. Just go for the monsters. It’s AWESOME. Jeebus, I think this is turning into...
