Travel Rogue

One of those days...

Woke up this morning in a foul mood. Don't know why, just one of those days where any little sound sets me off. Distracted myself for about a half hour putting together fruit tarts for Ravinia this evening. But that was just setting myself up again, because all that perfect arranging was sure to slip in transit.

And it did, ah well. I picked up an ice pack at the dollar store near work to hopefully ease the slippage for the next leg of travel.

Just got back from lunch with Manish at Tokyo Lunchbox. This tiny hole in the wall on Van Buren and Wells has been a lifesaver for me. Sushi just tends to put me in a smiley mood. Maybe it's the color, maybe it's the word "tekka maki," who knows. I caved and had a dragon roll. Mmmm, eel, avocado, spicy sauce and fish eggs. Whoever took those ingredients and combined them together was a genius. Who knew they'd work? I bet someone did it on a dare.

Supposed to have a one-on-one with the CEO in about an hour. Never thought I'd make this much of an impression in 10 months. At least it's nice to know that I made a difference.
