Completion

The tank is starting to really run low. It’s been harder to get a full night’s sleep. The stress of pending meetings is weighing on me physically and mentally. Thankfully today is the end of the line. The last one, the one I’ve been saving up for. It’s not a critical one but they are all very important. I was up between four and five and started getting ready for the day. Having consumed the final eggs yesterday I had to change the destination within my flavour nation for today. The effet is much the same but at the same time a complete departure from the norm.

I slurped back these two greasy pellets and was able to review my presentations thoroughly before hopping on a call briefly with my US team. I was sporting the moustache and the jacket and got some love for the look. I’m telling you people, the moustache has been getting positive reviews, I think I finally did it. I just had to commit to it for nine months before birthing it into the world.

I flipped over to my last big deployment. It lasted over three and a half hours. It went well over time and I even had to pick up the pace at the end of it. That was the completion of the journey. Well not really, it never really ends. During all the meetings there were questions or requests for other information that I get to wrassle up now. They always want more. When it was over I immediately started processing and updating slides with the information they requested. I had a very short lunch consisting of a can of Campbell’s Chunky Butter Chicken and Vegetables soup and then we had another huge meeting scheduled with an important client. That ate up a couple of hours. After that I got a few calls and kept things moving. I still haven’t gotten to my critical items that I want to get off the list before the holiday break. I ran out of time to go get ingredients for our Family Feast night. We were supposed to make crab cakes. I lacked the crab, among other things. I told the family I’d call in but make something a little bit different on my end so I didn’t completely ruin the festivities. On my side I prepared a homemade double down. Not seen officially in this country since 2012, now was the time. I forgot the bacon, or more appropriately I ignored the bacon but otherwise created a nice representation. The sauce is a co-mingling of chipotle mayo, sriracha, Miracle Whip, salt, parmesan cheese, and dried parsley in a somewhat random ratio. I cooked the breaded breasts in the Air Fryer to keep to the theme. I ate almost two of these abominations. They were fantastic. I could barely breathe I was eating them so hard, they were that good. Next to mine on the blue plate is my youngest sister’s crab cake. My parents version is darker on a blue and brown plate and my middle sister has the artsier photo on a white plate. Once again we had a good time. Things wrapped up relatively quickly this time and I found my way into my bed not long after. I meant to catch up on the internet, specifically YouTube, but passed out pretty hard. Not before my body showed some disappointment in my culinary choices. I needed a thick sleep.
