Kasey's Rambles

I am extatic to be writing this blog right now. This past work week was Hell. That’s putting it lightly too. Everyone knows restaurant work isn’t for the weak. My team at Pappones is anything but that!! We persevere no matter the circumstances. Every damn time! I am apart of that Team!! So that is a really freaking cool thing to think about at the end of the day. Although sometimes extremely draining and demanding; here recently I’ve been doing more cooking and less dealing with our customers. Whom almost all of them I love, don’t forget…but you can’t please everyone 😫☺️😉 so I’ve been cooking and it has been a lot of fun!!

If I could become just a cook. Not have to deal with the front of the house, maybe I wouldn’t want to rush out of the restaurant buisness. It’s so hard having to put out every little fire, spark, problem that needs fixing. It falls on management, which would be myself and the owners. That can become to be too much when your establishment is booming with buisness. It’s smaller than our old shop. We are severely understaffed, still with no end in sight it feels. It’s just becoming very difficult to manage.

This all seems very negative, so I want to try and stear this in a more positive direction. Due to all the craziness this past week, the owners decided to close tomorrow. Which means I have an extra day off! It couldn’t have come at a better time. Literally. I get to spend some quality time with my hubby and son and stepdaughter tomorrow. Then on Monday my son and I are having a “Mommy and Me” day before he starts first grade on Tuesday!! 😫😭

So, I have two days ahead of me to be extremely grateful and thankful for. I know I should try and rest and catch up on some me time and self care…schools about to start and life is going to be even more hectic than it is now. I am going to choose to treat these next 2 possibly 3 days like a mini vacation!!! Relax, enjoy my family and have some fun!! I have to remember to have a little bit of fun every now and then and stop being on “Go mode” 24/7. It’s exhausting. Half the time I look like a chicken with my head cut off.

Anywho totally rambling. I am drawing up a bubble bath now. I can not wait to just soak. My whole body is throbbing. From head to toe. Only 33, but keep in mind I’ve had arthritis since I was 2yrs old. It was JRA until I was 18…now just RA. Anywho you all don’t need an extensive health background of me right now haha.

Time for my bath 🚿🛁

Till next time…
