That tall building is my new office! It’s super modern, and several notches up from our old space. I think they had been in that old location 30 years?!
It took me just over 12 minutes to walk from the train station – not too bad. Since I had no idea how my day was going to start, I ate my breakfast on the train. Leftover steak (3) Cabot cheese (3), and sautéed apples (1) and mango.
I found my desk, started to unpack and my boss wanted me to move closer to him. So after a lot of shuffling around, I finally unpacked my desk around 3 in the afternoon.
Our lunchroom faces West but it’s still a pretty view – I am on the 41st floor.
I made a batch of lasagna soup Sunday night. So filling and delicious and is going to be my lunch again today. I think that’s batch 2.478 ?
My sister had the day off yesterday but I wanted to see how close her office was to mine – less than 5 minutes ?♂️???? Latinicity is half way between our offices so I know we will meet there often. Jacky, I think we need to schedule a lunch for next week!
I did pick up a few things at the store on Sunday night. This zoodle bowl is worth every penny. It’s a 14 ounce container and easily 3-4 servings. As I was sautéing the veggies, I realized my 3 ounces of shrimp (1) and 1 tablespoon Szechwan sauce (1) meant my dinner was going to be 2 points!
I found some leftover rice from the kadults takeout and added 3/4 cup to my dish, making my dinner 6 points.
It doesn’t look like it, but that was a lot of food for six points!
I feel like I am starting to catch a cold. I think my breakneck pace these last few weeks is catching up with me. I am thrilled that I have no plans this weekend. It’s supposed to be rainy too so I think I need to make some homemade bread ? or scones.
And because they are so darn cute and I will miss them when the kadults move out, I’ll leave you with Roman and Rummy ?
Wow….such a swanky office!!! Love it!!! And those pups??!! AWWWWWW!!!!!
Yes! Let’s make lunch happen.
I like the look of the new modern building. It is odd, I go to both extremes. Really modern and really old. It doesn’t make sense to me. Is your new office all on one floor or will you be running all over like before? Can’t wait to see more city photos. I would love a nice rainy weekend and we really need the rain. Lots of forest fires around us.
Multiple floors! With my new walk from the train station to the office, walking around during the day, walking at lunch, I am easily at 18k steps a day. 😀
Don’t worry, you’ll see more pics of Chicago – you need to come visit me for a girls weekend when the kadults move out 😀
Yes please!!!
I shut down Chrome and logged back in – still Lisa, so I deleted her info in my auto-fills and am trying this again, just to see if I exist on your blog. 😉
That is so weird!! Gah, I think I need to hire someone to “clean up” my blog 😛 From people not seeing new posts – etc.
And yes, you need to come to Chicago!
That is one tall building – I think the highest I’ve been in a building was the 23rd floor of the Hilton in Houston…and there were only a couple more floors above that one, I believe. Now I feel like I need to visit a big city (ooh, Chicago maybe?) and go up in a skyscraper.
Love the dog pics – they are really so cute!
How weird is this? That comment was from me, Shelley, but Lisa’s info is auto-filled in the response section.
I think you are very close to me now too. I’m at 203 N. LaSalle. It looks like the Thompson Center is in your picture but not sure which building that is that you took a photo of.
Eek! Yep, I am right across the street from the Thompson Center! We need to meet for lunch!!
Those veggie noodles look perfect for making a quick and healthy meal, I will have to see if my local stores have them.
I actually have a zoodle maker, but sometimes its nice to do the grab and go 😀
aw those puppy faces.
Looks like good new digs!
I am loving the new space, don’t mind the extra near 14 minute walk to work – I just hate that my bosses can’t figure out what to do with their stuff, so my desk has become a dumping ground 🙁
So glad you are so much closer to me now!! Latinicity is a great idea – and walks to the lakefront. At first I thought you were walking to my office to walk with Jenny! LOL
That would have been funny. Can’t wait to see your new office
Can’t wait to see you tomorrow – seems like forever since I’ve see you 😛
