“Remoted – Hybrid” – Day 581 (Monday)

After several days of temperatures in the high 60s and low 70s, the temps in the 50s today felt chilly. Sure, it’s mid-October and the 50s are more seasonable than the 70s, but … <insert the “I’m cold” weather whining here>.

Suddenly soup weather!

On the bright side, the dip in temperatures made it perfect soup weather, which worked well with the post dental work recommended diet of soft foods or liquids for 48 hours. Somehow, the perfect vegetable soup with a milk broth was assembled Sunday, and it was even better today. It was lunch. It was supper. That’s mostly because I was too cold to have the other liquid diet items bought over the weekend – golden egg nog, pumpkin egg nog, and maple walnut ice cream. 

After eating mostly ice cream and soup for the past couple days, lunch for the office on Tuesday will be a challenge. Beyond soup, there isn't much food that is ready to go, everything is still in the ingredients stage of food preparation. Soup is perfect when working from home, but kind of a pain to transport to work. I don’t trust a single one of my 10,000 containers to not leave me with a tote bag full of leaked soup.

Also easier to deal with working at home is the warm salt water rinse after eating. The way to avoid having to swish and spit at work would be to not eat, but that is not a viable plan. Hangry me is not suitable for the office. Looks like there are some logistics to figure out.
