Work was extra stressful this morning (and included an incident with my boss and I nearly yelling at each other). But I just enjoyed a completely relaxing, ultra low cost lunch break and feel refreshed and ready to get back to normal for the afternoon.
My office is just a couple miles from home so I usually pop home for lunch.
Today the mail had arrived before lunch and my first issue of my $5 Real Simple subscription from Amazon, that I paid for with a $5 giftcard from Swagbucks, had arrived. I perused the magazine while enjoying a nice but simple meal.
I reheated some leftovers out of the freezer of a Macaroni Grill meal I had prepared last week and had gotten for free from the What’s for Dinner gift basket giveaway. For dessert, I had a scoop of Starbucks Caramel Macchiato ice cream that I got with my free coupon from Facebook.
Those particular good deals are no longer available but new deals are always in the works. Today they left me feeling like the stars had aligned which was exactly what I needed after a stressful morning; way better than a stop a fast food joint.
