Frustrating Monday

I went into work this morning in a great mood.  Dan got up and made me a protein shake and coffee for breakfast, which was a really nice way to start the week.  I hate having to decide what to eat for breakfast when I'm rushing to get out the door and my coffee isn't kicking in yet.  Plus, he promised me he would, and he makes fantastic shakes.

I went to work, and had a really good lab meeting.  Except I had to talk my boss into moving an experiment so I didn't have to work this weekend.  And he tried to say I didn't do a part of a study, when I did.  Then, 2 hrs later he schedules another experiment so I have to come in this weekend.  Sigh.  So, tomorrow I have a meeting with him to try and again try and talk him into moving the experiment, again.

I left work so frustrated and angry because I had such a great week last week, and an amazing weekend, only to come back to work to issues.  I came home, resolved to finding joy in my Valentine's chocolates, when I realized that I could still have a good night.  I am not going to get angry and frustrated, but instead, I'm going to cook.  I've made protein breakfast bars and cereal so I don't have to worry about breakfast this week.  And for dinner, we are having some comforting fried chicken with a salad and squash and zucchini in butter.  Yum.  Tonight will be a lot of fun, relaxing with the hubby and watching some House.

P.S. I even did my push ups.  Warrior Dash OH, watch out!  And I did have a piece of chocolate.  One Milk chocolate covered cherry.
