A Busy Sunday Today

I have a lot going on today. I received all my Nordstrom orders in perfect condition this week and have to put them away. They are all for my niece and I won't be giving them to her until the summer since she is drowning in enough gifts as it is. She can have the goodies in the summer before she heads up to the summer house with her family. My brother knows I love spoiling his daughter and son as a thank you for always spoiling and protecting me growing up. I give back to my loved ones. My nephew will get some gifts later.
My brother is treating me to lunch at an Israeli restaurant today so we will be heading out in a few hours to eat a quick meal before we get ready to head out to work together. We are saving on gas by carpooling and he is behind the wheel as usual. I have no complaints because I'm saving money on gas by splitting it with him and he is a better driver than me anyway. I hate driving in the daytime. I'm excited for lunch today. I have a good appetite for once.
After I come back from my lunch, I am going to put away this month's bills for good, get some rest, and then get ready for work. I have a 12 hour shift today. It's the weekend so it's going to be super busy today. I have a day off tomorrow, but my freelance boss called me this morning. He asked if I can work a four hour shift tomorrow. I told him I can so I have work tomorrow too. Then, I am going back to working a 10 hour shift on Tuesday. I can use all the distraction I can get to ignore my chronic pain. Fortunately, it's working.

Enjoy your lunch together.
We don't have any Israeli places to eat here in our city, so I cannot say that I have tried that cuisine.
Time spent with family is the most precious of all-enjoy your time together.
I just got back from washing the car, it is sunny here and the (black) car is so shiny you can see your reflection.

Thank you. Will do. We eat there a few times a month. My brother knows the owner so we get a tiny discount. It's basically mediterranean food with a Jewish twist. It's really good. I highly recommend it. You are right. It is. That's awesome! My car needs a wash too. I need to do that sometime.

@lilacskies I have to say that the paint that they use on VW's is really great, for it to shine the way that it is because it isn't exactly new anymore.

@Juliaacv It's worth the money then. That's wonderful. I wonder if the paint is the same for the newer cars too.

Thank you! It was wonderful. We have chicken schnitzel which is Israeli fried chicken. It's chaotic, but it's just work as usual.

Yes, it's a busy day today. I work with my brother so it's like I spend the whole day with him. Yes, my chronic pain is still present as usual, but I am ignoring the pain and am staying distracted with work. I will try my best. Thank you so much.

Thank you. I try my best. It's called RA. Rheumatoid Arthritis. There's no cure for it.

@lilacskies ah it's simple to cure. My sister has arthritis she cured it with ginger. Also, avoid acidic food, salty food sugary, nuts, beans, pork, beef and poly foods.

@cacay1 It isn't simple to cure here in the US. RA is not the same as arthritis. Thank you. I will consult with my doctor.

Yes, I had four hour freelance shift yesterday. I wrote a post about an incident I encountered yesterday. It's something I wanted to talk to you about since we both have trauma. Thank you. Me too. I gave them all away since I'm a minimalist.
