Tis the season...

...to be sick. After much denial, (AND after surviving a weekend of low-energy, moodiness, and clammy hands), I have to admit that I may be sick. I figure, I'll stick it out one more day at work and rest majorly at the parentals this weekend.

I'm pretty excited about Thanksgiving. The Kwang family is having a real feast this year (never been done!) along with the Chiangs. I'm trying out new recipes and making Apricot/Cranberry Chutney for the meal and a Pumpkin Roll for dessert.

I have to gush about my coworkers. They saw that I was in a bad/sad/sick mood today and dragged me out to the mall for our lunch break so I could walk around and look at the sales. Although I ended up not buying anything, it was just a good break from the usual monotony and it was fun to window shop. Unfortunately, I really wasn't supposed to take a lunch break today, but I realized that none of my superiors at work were in today. My coworkers are such wonderful people - one of them is even bringing some spices into work for me for my Thanksgiving recipes so I don't have to buy the ridiculously expensive McCormick Spices. I definitely need to make a point of spending more time with them. After the Psych GRE, maybe...

I've found that a cheap way to get spices is to go to Whole Foods (conveniently located next to my office). You buy the spices like bulk goods and can scoop out exactly how much you want. It's useful when you really only need a few tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice or six cloves.
