Oh My, You Should Eat!

I won't say that the past week has been a crazy one, just your average busy-I-have-no-time-to-blog week, but some interesting stuff happened over the weekend that I am happy to report on (as I procrastinate getting ready for work today).

Speaking of work, that's where my story begins! On Sunday, I had a mid-session check-in for the Mosaic Program... that I completely forgot about! Thank goodness I set a reminder (I normally don't) otherwise, I would have missed it entirely. As it was, I had about two minutes to shower and get dressed before calling an Uber and paying $11 to make sure I arrived on time.

Post-meeting, I decided to support the entrepreneurship of young America by being the last customer for a group of Girl Scouts outside of Starbucks. First off, these cookies have gotten expensive since ye olden days of scouting girls! And they have less cookies in the box. Also, I'm in the midwest so instead of being called Caramel Delites, they're called (the completely politically incorrect name) Samoas. I still ate them.

After that, I didn't have time to go back to my apartment before I had to return to the same general geographic location for a performance at CTW, so I instead decided to try out one of the restaurants on Belmont that I've always wanted to try, but haven't because I work at a dinner theatre and get to eat for free!

Clarke's has been staring at me as I stand on the train waiting to go home for months now! I was seriously craving a milkshake (despite having recently purchased cookies) and figured that any place with a 1950s housewife on their sign could probably make a good one so I decided it was time to go in.

I was right about the milkshake thing! I also ordered a grilled cheese sandwich. They're basically a dressed up diner so they had a lot of breakfast things that looked good too, but I wanted some salty french fries to go with my cool vanilla dairy confection, so grilled cheese was the perfect fit.

After that, I went to the theatre, did a play and the rest is history!
