I heated up some pork carnitas. I put some queso quesadilla cheese on a tortilla and topped with another tortilla and microwaved it to melt it. Then I put some pieces of pork carnitas down the middle and topped it with a good drizzle of avocado ranch sauce. OMG so delicious! Tender, Juicy, flavorful. I'm quite happy with it.#foodieadventures Except now I've got a migraine. It's behind both of my eyes. And my eyes are sore from*gestures vaguely at everything*. I already took a ubrelvy a little more than an hour ago. I guess I can take a tramadol.#Migraine Tomorrow is the art studio open house. I'm gonna set my alarm for 9am so I can take a shower and have some coffee. I'll probably make some mocha mint coffee. The cherry bonbon flavor coffee is yucky. And I ran out of the vanilla lavender flavor coffee. It was really yummy. I've got a bag of blueberry crumble flavored coffee that I haven't opened yet. Basically I've got plenty of options.#coffeeadventures Would anyone like to buy a slightly used Pauley? Some assembly required. Batteries not included. She's on my last nerve. I love her but sometimes I just want to shake the shit out of her till her senses plinko into their correct spots.

I decided to do IQ Joe instead of brewing coffee. Pauley made it for me. I have hazelnut flavor IQ Joe and she mixed it with some eggnog hot chocolate mix and some sucralose and some almond milk. It was delicious! I swear it tastes better when she makes it. But I'm sad. Someone drank my bottle of coffee. Now I gotta go make more. I think I'm gonna also get some veggies and some hummus for dipping. Maybe some hearts of palm and some mushrooms. Maybe a few sugar snap peas.

Pauley ground some mint mocha flavored coffee for me just a few minutes ago. It just finished brewing. I mixed it with some milk chocolate hot chocolate mix and 2 squirts of sucralose and some almond milk. It's actually quite yummy. The mint flavor is very mellow.

We got groceries today. One thing I was really looking forward to having today was a papaya. I grabbed it out of the bag and I looked at it and something didn't look right. I cut into the skin and it was very hard. Something in the middle stopped the knife. I knew something was very wrong. I pulled it apart and... Dammit it's an avocado! So I diced up half of the avocado and topped it with ranch dressing. It sure wasn't papaya but it was tasty.

I made a strong pot of French vanilla lavender flavor coffee this morning. I mixed 2 spoonfuls of vanilla cappuccino powder in. Then I added almond milk and 3 squirts of sucralose. It's not sweet enough. But I'm not gonna add more sucralose. I'm thinking maybe it's because the coffee was strong and the cappuccino powder is not sweet. But I'm not gonna waste it. The next time I make coffee I'm gonna make some that will go nicely with some eggnog hot chocolate mix. Maybe some chocolate toffee flavored coffee.

I decided to do IQ Joe today instead of brewing up some coffee. I'm very low on energy today. So I heated up some water and added a stick of hazelnut IQ Joe and a spoonful of banana nesquik to a paper cup. When the water was done I poured half of a cup of water in the cup and used my frother to mix it up. I poured it in my 40oz bottle and topped it with 3 cups of almond milk. I added 3 squirts of sucralose. So basically I made banana hazelnut coffee. And OMG it blew my mind! It's perfect. The flavors balanced perfectly and it's just sweet enough. I'm a happy puppy.

I'm currently making a little pot of death by chocolate flavored coffee. I'm gonna mix it with banana flavored nesquik, almond milk and 2 squirts of sucralose. Something tells me this is gonna be awesome.

I felt good enough to make coffee. I decided to make a big pot of French vanilla lavender flavor coffee cuz it's just so yummy. I put 2 cups of coffee in my bottle and 2 cups of vanilla almond milk plus 3 squirts of sucralose. It's perfect. The flavor of the coffee is very strong and kinda cloying so I purposely diluted it with the milk. Now it's a very gentle floral flavor.

Side note: as I was typing this, pauley brought me a blueberry pancake. She's so sweet.

I just got a text saying the coffee is out for delivery today. I ordered it last weekend when coffee still brought me joy. I want to get excited. I want to post another #coffeeadventures . But instead I'm just numb.

Transportation was seamless. Got us there about a half hour early. We took the elevator to the 3rd floor and the receptionist asked how she could help me. I said "hi, I have a date with the octopus at 230" and she said we needed to go down to the 2nd floor. So we went down and there was just an elderly lady sitting behind desk. She had a mostly shaved head except for a dark blue poof of hair. She was very nice.

We sat and waited to be called back for the test. While I waited my neuro-ophthalmologists nurse walked down the hall and stopped when she saw us. She smiled from ear to ear and said oh HI Nox and pauley! So we chatted for a few minutes. I mentioned I'm concerned about the exotropia being the cause of my migraine and she said it's very likely. It was nice to see her.

Then we got called back. Now I need to point out id been there for testing over 7 years ago. The doc who took me back was the same as the last time. She took one look at me and said "I remember you!' and she was really nice. We talked about how just over a week ago I was diagnosed with exotropia and how I'm seeing the surgeon next month.

The test was easy. Stare at the dot, click every time I see a dot of light on the sides. I think I did pretty well. I'll find out soon. I experienced some monocular diplopia with my right eye.

When we were done I called my insurance company to activate the will call. They ordered a Lyft and it only took 5 minutes. The drive home was crazy cuz traffic sucks. But as soon as I got home I made a sandwich cuz I hadn't eaten yet. Whoops

I'm really craving coffee. Oh! The company I get my coffee from launched their 4 spring flavors today and they're having a 24 hour 25 percent off sale. I checked them out and got excited about the French vanilla lavender flavor coffee so I ordered a bag. After delivery fee and discount it was $16.16 for a 12 oz bag. The sale is good on everything they sell.

Today has been a pretty good day so far. Pauley just put on the electric kettle so I can make a bottle of IQ Joe. I'm gonna order some cappuccino powder tonight.
