Sometimes working 9-5 isn't as perky as Dolly Parton might have you believe. It's even less perky when you're passed over for promotion again. So, treat yo'self. The sun is shining, my windows are open, and before getting up to enjoy the day, I don't mind if I'll help myself to a non-sad, non-desk breakfast. Thank you, please, I'll have my breakfast in bed.
I'm taking a staycation for the next couple days. To clear my head. To think. To do mindless internet browsing. To walk outside. To pet my cat. To remember that work is work and not being recognized sucks, but its not everything.
Steps to ensuring a pleasurable staycation breakfast:
- Don't eat what you usually eat at work. (I LOVE my hardboileds [eggs] but not today.)
- Don't use regular dining accouterments. I chose a yellow bowl we bought in Turkey.
- Don't eat sitting up. Like, in a chair. Usually, eating while reclined is frowned upon, see: choking. But, sit somewhere cushiony, preferably by a window.
- Make your beverage special. I foamed some milk for the coffee.
- Light a candle. Create ambiance. I fluffed my blanket, turned on a podcast, and propped up my pillows.
As for what I put in that bowl. I didn't choose anything gourmet. But, full fat greek yogurt + cinnamon puffins + freshly cut strawberries + trader joe's Turkish honey = a small luxury on a beautiful day. (IDK the veracity of the Turkishness of that honey, or if we should be importing honey from Turkey when we've some American beez. But, that honey is amazing, this coming from someone who hates that honey from a bear.)
Oskar is dubious, but trust me. This shiz was good. Now, I'll go make a second cup of coffee. A thing I never do when I'm at work, treating myself.
