A Day In My Life- Such A Crazy Day!

A Day In My Life- Such A Crazy Day

A Day In My Life

Welcome to another “Day In My Life” post. I noticed that these are quite popular and you guys seem to enjoy them so I hope to make them more frequently. Plus, I get to post something on my YouTube channel too when I make these so it’s a win-win. This was a really crazy day for me and so many random things happened so I knew I wanted to share it here with everyone.

Morning

I woke up in the morning in a bit of a rush. I had accidentally overslept on a day I had to wake up particularly early. So, I ended up skipping most of my morning routine and got straight to work. After working for a few hours I got ready to go out. My sister, cousin brother and I went to Optica to see the optician. She’s really nice and I did my exam while my cousin looked for a new frame as his had broken.

A Day In My Life

The optician did the test a few times and I was wondering why so I asked her. She told me she wanted to make sure because my prescription had lowered on its own in both eyes. Apparently it rarely happens but does happen to some people. I think it must be due to my change in diet because I work online in front of a screen almost all day so it can’t be due to lifestyle.

After this, we went to pick up my other cousin brother who works nearby as he was joining us for lunch.

Afternoon

For lunch, we went to Peppertree, I have been here before with my bestie and we liked it so much so I wanted to go back with my cousins and my sister. I think I’ll do a full review of my experience there separately as it will take too much time to do here. But it’s a beautiful place and we had lots of delicious dishes.

We ordered drinks first and I left that up to my youngest cousin. You may remember him and his awesome looking drink that I shared on my Sarabi post. Well, he truly has a talent for picking the best drinks because he chose this mocktail for me and it was the coolest drink I’ve probably ever had. Look at that lavender on top!

A Day In My Life

For the meal, we ordered roasted corn, roasted sweet potato, cauliflower tempura, veg tacos which came with a salad and fries, ginger braised tofu and the halloumi burger which also came with a side salad and fries. It was all incredible although a little pricey in my opinion.

One cousin went back to work and my other cousin, my sister and I relaxed at Peppertree all afternoon. It was so fun and we had a great time just chatting and chilling. And we did something we had been meaning to, we recorded the first episode of our podcast! More on that soon.

Night

By the time we headed home it was past 6pm. We got home and I had hoped to do some work but was greeted with no electricity. Unfortunately, there was an issue in my area and we had no lights. So, we ate some of our leftovers for dinner as none of us were that hungry. And then headed to my cousins house.

We ended up having such a fun time there. We watched TV, talked some more, had some snacks and he even gave me this Pikachu toy to keep me company.

A Day In My Life

At around midnight we headed home and I went straight to sleep after doing a bit of work (our WiFi was working) because we still didn’t have any electricity. It actually came back the next day as it took them a while to fix the issue.

  1. The food looks delicious, Pooja, I’ll go there! 😊 Pikachu is cute. 😌

    1. It was so delicious, we loved it! 😊

  2. The food looks amazing! Funny thing, I used to wear glasses when I was younger, and eventually, I didn’t need them anymore. Weird, I thought I was the only one that stuff happened to lol
    Oversleeping totally sucks. Throws off the whole damn day.

    1. It was totally amazing. Ooh, that’s awesome. Apparently it’s very rare but it does happen to people once in a while. Hope mine goes away too 😅
      Yesss, it was so annoying because it was the worst day to oversleep 😫

      1. Murphy’s Law dictates that it will always be the one day that happens. 😄
        But, you got on track and that’s what counts!

        You never know. If my dumbass eyesight corrected itself, yours could too!

        1. My eyesight is pretty dumbass so hopefully it’ll take the hint and correct itself 😅

          1. Could happen!
            The only thing you know for certain is hey, you never know!

            1. Yup, we know that we don’t know anything haha!

              1. There is an odd comfort in admitting that isn’t there? lol

                1. There is, it’s peaceful once you admit it.

  3. I would think it would seem impossible that small piece of your whole enjoyable day and night could be considered as”pricey”. Besides the question , but aren’t you all worth it?

    1. Haha yes, we’re all worth it and I think it’s totally fine as a treat once in a while.

  4. I knew you’d have fries.

    1. What’s life without fried potatoes…

  5. The food looks amazing. I love tempura cauliflower, and the haloumi burger sounds tempting. I recently bought my grandson a Pikachu. He loves him, but I can’t get my head around this whole Pokemon thing nomatter how many times he tries to explain it to me.🤷‍♀️

    1. The food was so good, we loved it. How adorable, I don’t understand Pokemon much either but I find them adorable nonetheless 😅

  6. Hi Pooj. It’s always good to see you or about you. Love the pikachu and the drink especially. Food goes without saying though I have to say it 💝

    1. Thanks so much, the food was amazing and the pikachu was so cute 😊

  7. so woke up…it was a tough wake up. my wife has time off so she was home, so she could do some of the things on my plate, but, well because I’m the dad, the husband, I can’t dodge my responsibilities….so got organized, caught up on this stuff, then spun on my bike trainer for 45 minutes with Zwift while listening to tunes…..it was okay, then met up with my wife with a restaurant called Boco….mushroom ravioli, a great glass of Pino Grigio, and a moose for desert, which was really nice, a time to catch up…did some shopping next door at the Track and Trail store, bought really expensive base layers, cause I wanna run this weekend and we’re in a deep freeze, love that store, a place where I could spend a lot of cash…stopped by my old Running Room store to pick up some more gear and visit with my cool boss Dawn….made it home in time to kick back, watch some news, dinner with the fam, now rewatching the spiderverse, am thinking of getting into a show later called the Dark?…..planning the weekend and next week..I need to kick my training and my social life into high gear…my goal for 2024 was to re-connect with a lot of friendships I’ve let slide for a whle, so gotta get busy on that……oh yeah played table tennis a few times with my daughter and threw some hoops…..a good day, I need more like this..my fave meal of the day is always LUNCH!………

    1. Sounds like your day was very active and quite fun too. And yes, lunch is always the best meal!

  8. How good are your eyes without glasses??
    You are one the few people I know who look very pretty with or without glasses.

    Although I would like to see new frame now 😛
    I’m also thinking to change the frame, I use glasses only when using phone/computer/reading, otherwise I’m good.

    The key is to keep your eyes hydrated. If not natural eye drops than occasional water splash is important, you should do that more often because of the nature of your work.

    The food looks amazing. I’ll watch the video later, and drop my review there. While, also pretending that I don’t know you as blogger and just dropping comment as I like the content ( which I do anyway).

    Details dear pooG details, you need to mention timings as well 😛

    The podcast? Isn’t that like EPs 3?
    I’m excited, again details, need them 😉

    1. I can’t see much without glasses unless it’s close to me. I like my new glasses, you’ll see them soon lol 😝 Now, I’m wondering what you look like with glasses…

      I do keep my eyes hydrated and splash water on them regularly which I think helps.

      Thanks so much, always appreciate your support 😊

      1. I hope you’re done with round frame.
        You may see a pic of me with glasses 🤓
        Take care , looking forward to hear more about podcast

        1. The podcast will be out next week 😊

  9. to those late rushed mornings… agh lol.
    seems a super well day and the food looks totally divine… cute Pikachu though goes without saying lol. 🤍

    1. Most mornings are rushed if you sleep too well 😅
      It was a random but very fun day 😊

      1. agreed lol… glad you enjoyed 🤗

  10. The food looks so good. I am hungry now.

    We made second coldest place on earth for a brief time today. The tire low pressure warning light came on when I first got in my car. It was fun putting air in my tires in that temp. Thankfully, I was prepared with good winter gear. It is supposed to warm up to -25 on Monday, so I will hunker down and stay inside until then.

    1. Wow, that’s so crazy cold. Yeah, stay inside and stay warm till the really cold weather passes.

  11. It always feels good to read these posts.

    1. Thanks, so glad you enjoy them.

  12. The food looks amazing.

    1. It really was, we loved everything.

      1. Awesome 🥰

  13. This was lovely to read. The food looked scrumptious 👀

    1. Thanks so much and the food was incredible 😋

  14. I wish I could oversleep. 😜 The food looks amazing..hope the manuscript is coming along. 🙏👏👏

    1. I oversleep often, it’s once of the perks of freelancing lol 😝 It’s going great, thank you ☺️

      1. That’s good to hear. Keeping you and that project in my thoughts. Positive energy always. 👏👏👏

        1. I so appreciate that 💕

          1. You got it Pooja G. Trust the process. We here to support you when and if needed. 👏👏💪

  15. Oh how I loved peppertree and it looks so different during the daytime! And omg girl, I need to see your new frames

    1. It was soooo fun last time we went too and yeah it’s quite different in the daytime! Also, we sat upstairs so that’s why it looked different as well. Like the area we sat at has an upstairs. The new frames are so cute, Rach helped pick them. I’ll send a pic 😊

      1. Really, it has an upstairs? Lol how did we miss it? Oohh kk send pics

        1. I’m going to choose to believe it’s because it was dark and we were deep in conversation and not because we’re dumb dumbs 😅

  16. The food at PepperTree…yummy!

    Colorful experience… beautiful pictures

    Thanks for sharing, Pooja.

    1. It was all so good and a very beautiful place indeed. Thanks ☺️

      1. You’re welcome, Pooja.

  17. Wonderful blog, as usual, Pooja😊I like all your blogs. They are amazing 😊🥰🤗🤗

    1. Thanks so much, so glad to hear that 😊

  18. Your Pikachu toy is adorable, Pooja, and so much good food. My eyes have improved too which surprises me because of my screen time. 💖

    1. It’s my cousin brothers toy and yes it’s so cute. That’s great, it’s so surprising when our eyes get better but it’s great that it’s happening to you as well.

      1. Yes, and I hope it continues or even improve,

        1. That would be great. Maybe eventually you won’t even need glasses anymore.

          1. Yes, that would be nice. I would like to be able to wear tinted glasses with no prescription. 😎

            1. That would definitely be very cool, fingers crossed that happens 🤞🏽

  19. My life isn’t nearly as exciting as yours! If it’s a school day, I take the twins to their respective schools, then I return home and clean, cook, or whatever. If it’s a weekend I’m working, like this one, I leave them to their own devices (they’re all technically adults!) and zip over to the shelter to take care of my other children! After all, it can be a bit like junior high school here!

    1. It sounds like you’re really there for your kids and those at the shelter which is so wonderful!

    Sounds like an eventful day!

    1. It really was!

  21. pepsi nitro is your night cap

    1. Sure is, lolz.

  22. WOW the food looks soo good love the corn lol and aww love the pikachu plushy!!

    1. It was amazing and the pikachu was adorable!

  23. Wow! It really sounds like you had a very eventful day. I’m curious also how you lowered your prescription, that is amazing 🙂

    1. It was a really interesting day! I honestly can’t pinpoint what exactly helped lower my prescription but the only major change I’ve made is that I’ve changed to a whole food plant based diet. I’ve mostly cut out refined oil and refined sugar.

      1. Cutting out refined oils and sugar is a health benefit for sure 🙂

        1. I very much agree.

  24. Pikachu looks soft and cuddly. Perfect for any occasion. Hope it brings you cheer every time.
    And the food: delicious. The curry. Yum.
    Blessings on your day. BTW, Happy New Year. Pooja. Xoxo
    Last night was a crazy wind swept night. I had to bring in the lovely wind chimes I keep out (to inform me when the wind is passing through): they were going wild. 🤪
    Today is Sunday and we usually take it slow.
    Have a good day again. Blessings (again)

    1. Thanks so much. The food was just incredible. Although a bit on the pricey side I thought it was worth it.
      Yeah, I’ve been hearing that it’s been colder and windier recently. That’s a lot of wind 😮
      Have a good day too 😊

  25. Great job taking care of your beautiful eyes! Peppertree looks yummy. 🙂 Thanks for making hungry! 😄

    1. Thanks, I think changing my diet to cut out things like refined oil and sugar helped so much 😊 Hehe, this is your sign to grab a snack!

      1. That is helpful and once you begin to notice benefits, it is easier than imagined. 😊🙏🏻

        1. That’s so true, it’s so much easier than I expected 😊

  26. Wonderful day and beautiful pics, Pooja.
    Surprisingly, I also had to visit an eye doctor yesterday because of continuous work in front of a laptop my eyes had started hurting, that led to a headache.
    This was my first time for an eye checkup and I was a bit scared because I thought I would become dependent on spectacles. But it turned out that my vision is clear and I only had eye strain for which the doc advised me blinking my eyes more while working (wink 😜).

    1. Thanks so much. Oh good, glad you didn’t have to get glasses. I would also recommend splashing some cold water on your eyes to keep them hydrated. I have the same issue with eye strain when I don’t do that.

  27. I need to stop looking at food posts before I eat lol

    1. Lol, a real dilemma 😅

  28. with and without glasses Pooja looks great 👍👍👍and thanks to share some variety delicious food👏

    1. Thanks so much, appreciate that 😊

      1. You are welcome

  29. Everything looked good. I am glad you had a good time with your family, inspire of no electricity. It’s good you did get some work done. It isn’t really much to do here because it’s freezing outside. I passed my exam. So far I have straight A’s and I am proud of that. The exam was hard, but I passed it. I was surprised. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed and safe week.

    1. Thanks so much. Yes, it was really fun even without the electricity. Yeah, I heard it’s super cold at the moment. Wow, straight A’s is very impressive. Hope you continue to have academic success. Have a great week too.

      1. It is snowing here in Texas. It started yesterday when everything started freezing, it hasn’t stopped yet. It is so pretty. I am going to take some pictures whenever it lets up a little. There’s not any traffic on the street where I live. Every year my daughter asks me if it’s going to snow so, her prayer was answered. Here, it’s in the teens when it comes to the weather and it’s supposed to drop even lower tomorrow. Stay safe, and stay warm. Have a great week.

        1. Oh nice, yeah it rarely snows in Texas so it must be a nice treat for your daughter and your family. Enjoy the snow but stay warm. Have a great week too.

          1. Yeah, she loves it. It hasn’t stopped yet. I wonder how thick it will be in the morning.

            1. Oh I see, yeah you’ll probably get quite a few inches of snow then.

  30. The food looks good! I’ve had that happen to – days when I want to wake up especially early and that’s when I sleep in instead.

    1. It was amazing! Urgh yes, it seems to happen more when we have to wake up earlier.

  31. Wrong post for me to read right now! I’m so hungry!!!!!!

    1. Lol, always have a snack when visiting my site 😅

      1. Right 🤣🤣🤣

  32. Funny story:
    When I was around 23, I had 17/20 vision and had to wear glasses. I ended up having an itch in my eye one day, went to scratch it and forgot I had a pen cap in my hand. Totally scratched the inside of my eye on accident with that pen cap and it hurt like hell for months until it healed. When I went to the eye doctor, my vision was 20/20. That’s what your exam story made me think of. lol
    My brother now jokes and tells people if they wear glasses or don’t have 20/20 vision – to come to me and I’ll tell them how I corrected mine with a pen cap. LMAO

    Love this post! 🙂

    1. Omg that’s an absolutely crazy story. Can’t believe it healed and you got total vision back. You’re like a superhero!

      Thank you! 😀

      1. lmao. I was completely creeped out by it actually. It was funny, but still – really weird and so, I joke about it often and tell people who need glasses, etc. to “poke themselves with a pen cap!”. Of course, I don’t mean it, but it’s still a funny story. No idea how it helped with my vision, but I’m glad it did. 🙂 Love your blogs. Keep writing.

        1. I get it, that’s such a weird thing to happen and I would have been creeped out too. Such a crazy way to fix your eyesight lol. Thanks so much!

  33. That’s interesting about your prescription because the same thing happened to me when I was younger. I don’t know what caused it because my diet has been pretty bad my whole life. 😂 I was prescribed glasses in my early teens but in my 20s they decided I didn’t need them. Now I’m definitely going blind.

    The food looks amazing as usual. You and your friends/fam have great taste in restaurants.

    1. That’s so cool, hope mine go away too. Nice to know I can eat whatever I want and my prescription will still probably go down 😅

      Thanks so much, it’s all my sister- she find the best places to go and we just blindly follow her 😛

  34. I always enjoy reading your posts, but this one in particular is lovely and really captures the essence of life. Well written, Pooja😊🥰🤗👌👏

    1. Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed the post 😊

      1. I always enjoy your posts, Pooja😊🥰🤗

  35. I have a diabetic friend who wears glasses and he says when his blood sugar spikes really high his vision becomes clear.

    Nice pics. I have to go get something to eat now after looking at all that great food. 🙂

    1. Wow, that’s so interesting. I wonder how eyesight and sugar are related to one another.

      Thanks so much. Yes, this is your sign to get a snack 🙂

      1. It is related to pressure created in the eye which changes the shape of the eye. It can also cause glaucoma and blindness. One of my Grandmothers had glaucoma and lost sight in one eye.

        1. Oh okay, that makes sense. Sorry about your grandmother, I have heard about glaucoma.

  36. Glad you had a great time with your family. Everything looked so good. For it to be vegetarian dishes, you would never know there wasn’t any meat in anything, especially the tacos. Congrats on your podcast, can’t wait to hear it.

    1. Thanks so much. Yes, they did a wonderful job with the vegan and vegetarian meals. We had a really great time.

      1. I cannot wait to hear the next podcast. I know it’s going to be hilarious.

        1. Thanks so much, we’re hoping it will be.

          1. I know it will be. You all have so much fun together.

            1. We really do.

  37. Your day was a busy one! I love these type of entries, so keep writing them! I am very nosey about what your up to lol!

    1. Thanks so much, lol will definitely make some more!
