The small come-ups...

Had a pretty awful day that started with my dog eviscerating a baby mouse on my new rug and then I fainted while getting blood drawn at my yearly physical so I had to reschedule and will go back next week. I was feeling so awful!!

A few months ago I moved into my own studio apartment after leaving an abusive relationship and it's been slow to furnish since my finances are tight. Well, last week I got my dining table and today I got a hot plate so I can finally start cooking at home. Decided my first meal should be a family recipe for feijoada (brazilian bean dish) and it came out so freakin good, even though I didn't have rice. Totally turned my awful day into a good one!
