Unemployed but Falling for Iced Tea and sharing my love of Green Tea Baths

    Last blog is here --> LINK<-- Where I wrote about glasses.

        I have yet to pick up glasses. Though I did get a call about picking them up.  I was going to go in on Thursday with my buddy Shaun but he cancelled on me because he wanted to get a oil change instead. The bonus is that John finally fixed my car. He by passed the problem that would of cost 200 plus for the part. Instead we spent about $ 15. 8.50 for the hose and a bit for some power steering fluid. My car purrs like a kitten now and turns like a pro. She doesn't sound Ill any more. She used to growl loudly when she turned and always had a constant low growl.

      
                I've been having a bad week. Saturday night, I woke up in pain. it hurt to breath, My neck,jaw, shoulders were sore. Extreme stomach area pain. It
even hurt to pee. I was up all night. I kept getting up and hiding in the bathroom. I didn't want to wake John. But at one point, while hiding, My vision blurred and felt like I was moving though I was sitting. A cold Sweat. The pain so intense that I assume I was passed out because at a unknown time. I awake laying half way in the tub with the shower rod/curtain pulled down and laying on top of me. Sunday I still went to work. In pain still, I worked but barely.  Sam had a family dinner in the afternoon. I got to help prepare it then I got to join in. Rack of Lamb, pasta salad, Greek salad, potatoes, etc.  Unfortunately I barely had a appetite so I just picked at it.  Monday i felt a bit better.It hurt to yawn and sneeze still and the stomach pain lingered.  Wednesday I felt better. No more major pain except in my shoulder. Which I googled. Seems I pulled a muscle when I passed out.
                  Friday was a bad Day. I turned down the heat as always. I turn it down to like 16 because the heat given off from the fryer, the ovens and grills make it a lot warmer. Sam always keeps it at 25 ish. He gets so mad when I turn down the heat because he claims when its that cold. The pipes may freeze. Which I think is complete and utter bullshit because for one it is like +5 out but he swears it. But Friday when he went to turn it up, The heat refused to come back on. And he screamed at me. Someone came and couldn't turn it back on. The old thermostat which has been there for 9 plus years finally broke. And Sam completely blamed me.  Later that evening he admitted he hired two more cooks. Carey and I aren't even getting full Time. So I asked " if we were going to get our hours cut because if that was the case, I would need to find more work. " On which he said Maybe, that if I could find a better job than I should. I've been done a bad job cleaning this week. So I said I quit and started to leave. He replied Good then asked if Carey was supposed to Close.  I said I didn't care then left.   So now I am unemployed but I think for the better. Sam wasn't right. As his wife has said. Sam thinks Men are better. Woman shouldn't be in the kitchen, It's woman's jobs to clean.  Carey never had to clean anything or do dishes, not even prep work. While I was told to clean and when it wasn't clean enough. I had to do dishes and prep. And if Sam was there. I was never allowed to sit in the smoke room with them even. 
He didn't see my skill. He overlooked them. He only saw my clumsiness and that I didn't do things "properly" The way he wanted.  He thought the way I did things were wrong even though it got things done and quickly. He praised Carey for everything he did even though Carey did stuff the way I did. 
 Yes I'm insanely clumsy,I trip on everything, I drop stuff but I'm good at multi tasking,  among other things. 

                 know I know. I keep going back to subjects in different spots.Bite me. it's MY Blog about how I see things..

Any ways when I was ill, Not being hungry didn't bother me but I was thirsty a lot.  I don't like just plain water. It tastes funny.  Pop bothered my stomach, Bottled iced tea far to sweet.  So I started to make things at my house. For a couple days I made a simple Lemonade except it gave me horrible acid reflux, Yuck.
So I moved onto Iced Tea. Fairly Normal, A bag of Green Tea and a bag of Bold Orange Pekoe or Earl Grey. Sweetened with honey. And a Touch of Lemon.
Yummy.   I plan to continue with it too. I can control the taste so easy. and the sweetness. 

I have made some Ginger iced Tea which has a interesting kick.  Tomorrow I fully plan to make up some Mango Kiwi Iced Tea! Because I happen to have both on hand.  Dried mango which I will put on the bottom of the measuring cup with the tea bags so when the tea is steeping, The mango will become nice and soft and will let out some flavour. I'll then fish it out and blend it up with my fresh kiwi which I got on sale last week! I have strawberries in the freezer so at some point i'll probably make strawberry iced tea as well.  By the way, I don't like to drink just plain Green Tea. It tastes Odd. So I always use a different more Bold tea with it so you can't taste the green tea but still get some of the good benefits of drinking it.  
                     Oh Oh Oh on that Note. Sometime you should totally take a bath with Green Tea and a hint of Honey.!!!  

The Green Tea alone will Detoxify Skin,Delay Skin Cell Ageing,Heal Sores and Wounds, Soothe and Heal Stressed Skin, Firm and Balance Skin Tone,Aid in the Prevention and Repair of Sun Damage,Rejuvenate Skin Cells,Fight Free Radicals,Fight Inflammation,Improve Psoriasis,Improve Dandruff,Treat and Prevent Acne. 
Do I need to Go on?    And we all know how I feel about Honey. 
It is beyond amazing!.  Honey helps heal, is antibacterial, is a moisturiser. 

If you add Vinger it helps reduce swelling and softens your Skin!!!
The best way to do it. Is fill your tub up with just Hot Water. Toss at least 5 bags then let it cool enough that you can climb in.  Or if you want a quick way. Boil a pot of water. Add the bags. Then pour it into the tub that is filled with water that won't burn your skin. It will even out then.   Note: Always Drink a fair bit of water before and after a bath because they will dehydrate you.  You Sweat a fair bit in the bath!

                         It's been a while since I've had a weekend off and I fully admit I enjoyed it. Okay Saturday I was stuck in bed with insane bad cramps that made me close to tears But Sunday. Oh Sunday.  I took a nice chilly walk then John and I went for Lunch. We cuddled a bit on the couch, watched a movie together and drank tea.
I rarely get to spend the day with my Love. And I think that we both enjoyed the time together. Though he did manage to whack me really hard in the nose with foam. It hurt,

On Thursday I have a interview with Leisure Land that is in Leroy. it's only about 28 hours a week which kind of sucks.  The lady I talked to says I am way Over qualified which is something I'm rarely told.  But basically told me I have the job if I want it.  
But I have applied at a construction company that is looking for flag people and packers!!! and Hey Look at that. I know how to do both! I really hope to hear them because the pay would be awesome.   Unfortunately I would travel all over Saskatchewan and live in hotels which is the down side. I wouldn't get to see John until days off... 

                              John and I decided that one day we shall either rent to own or buy a piece of land. Like Farm land. I will have a free Range Quails because they are more fun then Chickens to supply eggs and meat. I will also have rabbits that will supply meat as well. (I've never eaten rabbit.I hope it's tasty) We'll also own a couple cows to supply another selection of meat as well as milk which will turn into butter, cream and I plan to learn how to make Cheeses!!!!  I also plan to have a garden.!! I've been reading about how to make the perfect cold cellar that isn't totally creepy. 
One day we will hopefully be living my dream of living close to the land... A down side. I have to remember learning about plucking hens and de skinning things which I was not a fan of in school. 

On that Note. I'm off to drink Some Lemon Iced Tea in  a green tea Bath with a hint of Honey and Vinegar.  (Cause that doesn't make me sound crazy at all)




I had issues with my program. and it highlighted everything and wouldnt let me un highlight it!!!!
