Eating is important

nishatalithaAs half expected, today was horribly busy and stressful, and for the first time in ages, I only got out for ten minutes to grab lunch and eat it at my desk. There was much FAIL, both on our part and that of some of the lawyers acting on the other side. Alas, I was not immune from the FAIL, either, but mine was minor Fail and didn't cause delays.
Not having a break is a very bad idea for me, especially if I'm stressed or in a bad mood to begin with. I know this: generally I'd rather work late than skip lunch or have lunch after 1.30pm. Today I skipped lunch and ate at my desk around 2.00pm. Almost finished dead on 5.00pm, though.
Will see how I go tomorrow - I'm meant to be meeting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maudlinrose and bl9_knt for lunch (and maybe tamarillow) - but I shall see how I feel. Lunch and a break from work is absolutely required, but it is billing day, and I may be better off sitting in the sunshine somewhere listing to loud music on my headphones and not crying.
Came home via the supermarket - I thought we needed more eggs - and also took home pate (which I suddenly found myself craving), crackers and some blue cheese, and had that for dinner, along a couple of shots of vodka in a glass, sipped slowly. I bought more vodka yesterday - it's the Premium Russian stuff of this brand, a step up from the Standard which I bought last time, and it's very nice for just drinking.
Eventually, I bestirred myself to go make pastry and Christmas mince-meat tarts. I am wrapping these in cellophone with red ribbon and a card to give to my lawyers.maudlinrose says it looks a bit naff, which I suppose it does, yeah, but you can get away with a lot when you make it from scratch. And they taste good, if I do say so myself. They are all baked and out of the tin now; three lots (of four) left to wrap. I wish I had another patty tin (with curved edges), as one of nine holes is just not enough.
My desk at work is quite messy. Papers everywhere. There is a lot of filing that I haven't had time to sort yet, let alone file. I don't like this. Chances of me managing to deal with some of the piles of paper tomorrow? Slim to none. I wonder if WP would be able to sort and hole punch the filing for me. I will ask.
