The Blonde Diaries

This has been quite the week let me tell you. It started off with Mike and I returning to a stinky apartment and getting back to work after a two week vacation. I can’t believe it is Thursday already. Where has the week gone? My continued increase in water each day which was actually started at Disney has helped me to get rid of some of the water I retained thanks to all of the salt used in the food I was eating last week. I am now under 160 and I hope maybe another pound will disappear in a day or two since I went out for sushi last night. I stuck with a plain California Roll, a New Orleans Roll (lightly topped with eel sauce), and a bowl of edamame instead of crab lagoons which I love. So much better than I would be normally. Tonight I am making rice and sausage and will post pictures/recipe as I am making it.

On the smelly side of things, the smell is really dissipating. I did have to bleach the freezer but that has helped tremendously. I will continue the airing out and may bleach the freezer one more time before calling it done. One helpful thing has been my office at work considers Clorox Disinfecting Wipes “office supplies” so I have been able to pick up a few tubs of them to help keep the apartment clean. One way I am looking at this mess is that at the end of the month I would have to do a deep clean of the apartment since I am moving so this is really a good head start because I can get the baseboards and stuff now which are pretty bad and then just have to swipe them later. Always a positive to every negative!
