Hello friends and fellow Hivians. I'm doing ok despite what may happen in next few days. It's something I can't control and I try not let it affect me. It's the tug-a-war between the political parties here in the United States to pass the new fiscal year government budget. So I ponder if I will go to work Wenesday or not and if I don't how long will it last. Anyways I'll stop there before I get on a rant 😆 So, Today I will walk you through my Friday.

I think the best way to start out the day is getting a good breakfast in. It really provides the fuel needed to get through the first part of the day. Here I just made me a cheese omelet, fried up some bacon, put together some various fruit and made some multi-grain toast. It was super tasty and put me in a good mood. Breakfast is not only my favorite meal but one I enjoy cooking.

After breakfast I headed into work. Usually I catch the sun peaking every morning this time of year. It's fall time here according to the calender but it doesn't feel like it quite yet. However the sun rises are very fall like are our absolutely gorgeous. I don't often get the opportunity to photograph it, but this morning I was stopped at the gate entering work and had time to take this quick picture from my car. The second picture is from today taken from my work parking lot.

Once I arrived into work there wasn't a whole lot that needed done today. We all did our part which was checking out vehicles and material handling equipment. Afterwards we gossiped and talked about various things. One thing we mentioned was going out to lunch as an office. We just need to get the bosses permission, but wait thier not here today, next in charge? Well that's me and it didnt take much arm twisting once we decided where we would be going, haha.

We decided on an Italian pizzeria and pub called Caniglia's. Its a smaller place but really as some good grub. I counted 12 tables some with 6 and 4 chairs. Also a few bar stools and even an outdoor area with a few more tables. The interior is decorated with some TVs, advertisements and some art work of the landscape of Italy.

This place has a decent sized menu. Somethings you can order include salads, subs, sandwiches, pastas and of course many different kinds of pizza. I was accompanied with three of my work colleagues. Two got an Italien version of a French Dip sandwich and the other got a pizza combo that came with Sicilian Chef salad. Let me tell you about my selection.

First off I wasn't feeling all that hungry. I ordered a pizza slice of the Caniglia special. First off a pizza slice is actually two slices. This crispy crunchy pizza was absolutely delicious. Its was topped with spinach, tomato, minced garlic, sliced provolone and garlic parmesan drizzle with olive oil. Every bite I savored the taste and I actually was craving for more when I finished. I've had food here before but never ate at the place. I think it made for a better experience to be honest. My total bill with taxes included was $7.20.

The service was great and fast. So good that are planned extended lunch was only 5 minutes past are normal one hour lunch. Once back at work there wasn't much to do. We received a call from our front office (higher leadership) to close up shop and leave at 3:30. No complaints from any of us and it was nice to have an easy work day to kick off the weekend!

My intial plan was to get a hair cut during my lunch hour. It worked out getting off early because I decided to get one than. The weather has been unexpecently warm for this time of year so lowering the ears felt good. Usually I get a haircut about once a month. Afterwards I did some delivery driving.

1000008292.jpg

I drove for about 3 hours delivering 7 orders. I had two orders that were doubles so it really was 9 orders. I averaged just over $20 an hour which has been about the average lately. I drove about 25 miles in total so not much fuel was consumed. I could have driven longer and made more money but I was feeling like going home. Today has been an easy day up to this point and I wanted to keep it that way.

I didnt do much when I got home. Just watched some television and had a little snack. At about 9:45 I drove my son into work and by 10:30 I was ending the day laying in bed.

There's my Friday not much but really an easy day which I appreciated. Take care, stay safe and enjoy the week ahead. Until next time!

Sort:  

That is a good breakfast & definitely a good breakfast could make or break our day. I barely checked the news since Charlie Kirk passed away but there's always drama, tug of war and politicians shenanigans haha.

Breakfast is important and I absolutely love it. Oh the political crap is growing old. I try to ignore it because I'm not one that likes it at all. It harder when it has potential to affect you, haha. Take care

Nice! Sounds like it was one of those nice and easy days. There aren't enough of those! And making $20 per hour on the deliveries is awesome!

That Italian joint looks great, I love place like that with great food, quick service, and not too expensive. I hope your week this week resembles last Friday, smooth sailing!

Yes this week is slow so far much to do with the pending government shutdown/ budget approval. Hope I go to work Wenesday if not I'll have to be DoorDash'in, at least I got that in my back pocket.

An affordable place for lunch that has real good food is hard to find. Now if you have appetite it can be expensive, there large pizza (16 inch) go anywhere from $25 to $30. So good though this place has some of the best pizza in town.

That's awesome! I think they'll work out a deal, they always do at the last second. But the government is just wasting so much money that isn't necessary, and now that we might be facing World War 3 we're hurting from years of waste. I worry about the future of our nation right now.

On the bright side you get some good cash from Door Dash, that's awesome!

I agree too much waste. It gets cut in some areas where its probably not best and over spent in areas that don't need it. Sometimes I scratch my head and wonder why States do much better than D.C. and don't have all the division.

Usually its always done at the last second but being during the week and with everything else thats in wrecks I don't have a good feeling about it.

Well did some more delivering tonight and did even better. The only bad thing is its quite a bit less than my full-time gig but its good secondary income.

Well, it happened after all... How's Door Dash treating you today?

That's an interesting breakfast option... Usually, I don't mix salty with sweet, or meat with fruits, but the combo you did could work... 😃

Hopefully, everything will go well regarding those politicians... It sucks when you depend on them... 😒

Have a great week! 🍻

Not to uncommon to have fruit with breakfast here. I mean with meat and such. It gets you all your food groups in. Usually the healthy conscious add it. I try to be like that sometimes, haha

Politicians who really loves them and trust them? I agree it does suck when you have to depend on them. Have a great week as well 😀

Easy days at work are honestly the best, feels like a mini holiday.

Yes we all need more of them, right?

Ohooo, a delicious breakfast to start the day. Love the combo and with fruits, it made it a lil healthy? And that Pizza, I love my pizza crunchy and toasted so i'll surely live their pizza. I prefer mine with meat, pepper and onions though, uwu. Anyways what a productive Friday that is, it's a FriYAY yeah?

Yes I usually get meat but I've had this one before and it is so tasty. I love me spinach every once in awhile. Defintely crunchy toasted like pizza is better tasting.

Haha FriYaY I like that. We all need more easy days like the one I had! Take care.

What a lovely Friday with nice pizza 🍕🍕🍕🍕

Yes it was and need more days like this.

Well we should try to live separated from politics (as much as possible of course) and you did well, you had a delicious breakfast, nice sunlight, good !PIZZA, and you did your own things. It's good to focus on ourselves and less on what we can't control...
Glad you had an easy Friday! Hope this week is also good amigo!😊
