Waking up at 11:15 a.m.
Irish Oatmeal with Cinnamon, Maca Powder, Maple Syrup, Chia Seeds, Strawberries, and Almond Milk. Coffee with Cream and Honey.
All day shift at China Wok.
It's a fairly slow afternoon for deliveries.
Stopping at the house for lunch I find Pumpkin napping in Ana's closet.
Scrambled Eggs. Naan Bread with Non-Dairy Cream Cheese and Strawberry Jam. Multi-Grain Tortilla Chips with Avocado. Pu-erh Tea. Cantaloupe.
The day continues slowly...
Honey Crisp Apple.
The girls are writing up an order on a ticket. Janice forgets to write in the apartment number. "I keep forgotting!" she exclaims.
I just giggle and correct her, "Forgetting. It's forgetting, Janice."
When taking a customer's order over the counter Janice writes in Chicken with Snow Peace.
Me: "Janice, it's not Snow Peace. It should be P-E-A-S."
She's actually really smart for her age but being around parents who speak mostly Mandarin and then going to school where they speak only English it doesn't help reinforce how to use English properly.
Fried Shrimp with Broccoli, Carrots, Onions, and Rice in Garlic Sauce.
Off work and back home.
Ana's watching a documentary on Burt's Bees downstairs. I curl up and embrace her from behind, her bobbing hair bun periodically tickling my face. I need this kind of affection. She needs it too.
Compiling a crate of select books to bring on the SXSW road trip coming up. Cleaning. Organizing.
I join Ana in her bed shortly after 3 a.m.
