New Furniture

I work at an incredible place. It is very body-acceptance affirming. Let me give you an example. I started working here about 5 months ago, and have for the last five months been using hand-me-down furniture from the person who occupied this office before. The chairs (where I do most of my work) are not very comfortable, and not at all my style. I asked for new chairs, and I was given a pretty generous budget of $900 to buy new ones. However, they insisted that I buy chairs that were body-size friendly. Isn't that sweet?

So, I went and shopped for furniture this morning. (I got time off to do this as well - how wonderful is that!) I did not want to buy chairs without arms - which is probably the most larger-person-friendly seating. So, I ended up buying two really roomy chairs. They would fit a time and a half of me (and I am a large woman). And they are incredibly comfortable. I feel all warm and gooey now. Here's a pic of one of the chairs in the showroom:

Breakfast
Blueberry Scone and some Hot Chocolate

11am Snack
A Tablespoon of Olive Oil!
No, I did not pour myself a tablespoon and do a shot of EVOO. I wanted to buy a gift for a friend, and went to an Oil and Vinegar shop. I sampled several flavored EVOOs: Rosemary, Mandarin Orange, Lime, Blood Orange, Garlic and Chilli Oils, and flavored Balsamic Vinegars: Fig, Wild Cherry, Chocolate, Peach and Traditional.
The winners: Blood Orange Olive Oil and Wild Cherry Vinegar. Yum!
