If you’re not aware; Rhonda works for Cheesecake Factory. She’s been with the company for a very long time, and she’s pretty high up there. She’s as high as you can go at the restaurant level. If she wanted to get any higher, she’d have to go work for corporate. I’m so proud of her! She’s the only Senior Executive Kitchen Manager in the company who is also a woman. She’s pretty badass.
As far as days off, she gets the same days off (Monday and Tuesday) every week unless there’s a holiday. So I changed my schedule so we can have one day off together. I have Sunday Monday off, but during this crap I decided to have an extra day off, so now I’ve got Saturday-Monday off. I have to work Tuesdays since one of my main tasks has to be done that day. Anyway, I digress.
We have Monday off together.
Our normal Monday would look like this: Wake up, go to Dutch or find some food depending on how late in the day it is. After food, we THRIFT! ReStore, Goodwill, Value Village, etc. We might find a haul, we might not find anything at all, but we’re out together looking and having fun. Then we get home, have a little nap or quiet time, make dinner, hit the hay. It’s a little truncated, but you get the idea.
Here’s our Monday now:
Wake up, hang out in bed for a while. Get up, Dutch, she goes into work for a while to do orders. Not long at all, max 20 minutes so I go with her. Today I sat in the car and watched TikToks. Yeah, I know I’m too old, but I don’t care. I like the videos most of the time. Today I chatted with my beautiful friend in Hawaii.
We decided today was gonna be a Chinese food kinda day. Ordered from our favorite Americanized Chinese restaurant, hung out a few minutes, then went and picked it up.
Rhonda comes back to the car with a box of food. And I don’t mean a takeout box, it was literally a box that held a case a CASE of bean sprouts. Apparently we ordered enough for us and two other families.
She gets in the car and asks how much I think it costs. I throw out $65? No. $89? No. Yeah, so we bought $99 in soup, apps, and entrees…
We’re gonna be eating this for three days. At least. I’m not gonna lie though, it’s delicious! I ate so much, I need a nap. And no, it’s not a preferred WW food. Don’t give a shit. Seriously, I might not eat again today, and if I do it will probably be more Egg Drop Soup which IS a low point food.
If you’ll excuse me now, I need a nap.
Cheers!
