It's Friday Friday Friday, then Saturday Saturday..

Ugh... As I'm dealing with water that was coming down from my ceiling, I'm posting this as a stress relief.  Or maybe just avoidance because there's nothing I can do at the moment but wait.  Don't own your own business unless you are ready to deal with and pay for all the headache that comes with ownership.  Having a partner is good, but someone you really trust and have the vision with.  Otherwise, just work for "the man."

Yesterday started out with the prank my cousin pulled on me for April Fools.  I was hesitant the whole time about believing this story after my initial freak out second.  She claimed Rusty came into town the night before and surprised proposed to her.  It was a great story weaved with excitement and a commitment to it that was so convincing.  But as my fools day radar was on I called around and figured her tricky ways.  Gomo even called me back to confirm the story.  But that's when I unweaved their web of lies, comparing each story and asking for confirmations on what really happened.  Unmatching stories and one phone call later, I figured I've been duped.  But didn't want to break before her, so I tried duping her too in saying how excited I was and that I'd call up everyone and gather a small party for them.  Then she broke!  Kekeke...

As this was all going on, I still had a big party tray order to take care for a neighbor.  It was pretty good lunch size and easy, but as always, I made it down to the wire.  Then the rest of the day was pretty not busy... even the evening's late hours didn't spur a great crowd.  I can say I did everything I could, but I'm sure there was more effort that I kind of just let slide on the wayside to get more people into the cafe for FF.  But I don't know...   I just got lazy and just neglected a lot of stuff as so much was thrown at me too.  Middle of the day was not for customers, but mainly paper work, bills, blah blah blah...  Discouraging stuff to hinder any other real work.

Finally, I fed myself a late lunch with this monster,


This is food porn for sure.  Good thing I didn't take a picture of myself eating it, because then I'd have to put a parental warning on this post.  Inspired by McDonald's McDoubles and Taco Hut's Mexican Pizza.  I layered corn tortillas with provolone cheese and spicy pork.  Tortilla, cheese, pork, tortilla, cheese pork, topped with onions and cilantro and gochujang.  It was a monster.  Meat was a little too chewy to eat as a pizza, but I didn't care.. I was so hungry I demolished it all.

My fools day finally came down to the last leg.  After First Friday, we ended up going to the casinos for a few hours.  I came out short $10, but it was interesting.  We end up going into the high stakes black jack game.  I learned a little about how to play and what to do.  Stressful playing at that high of a risk game, but I was just playing my friend's hand so he could double up his chances of winning.  I did my job, by coming out $150 over, but the last shoot was no good for him.  Ah well, at least I'm not the one losing his money.  I  had enough losing in the real world...

Sigh** Hopefully the property people call me soon so I can leave home...
