I've started getting out of the house for a few reasons. The main one is that I have started getting rather intense cabin fever and if you don't know what that means it means that you are stuck somewhere and it is driving you crazy so you want to get out of that "cabin" even though it doesn't really matter where you are going.
There isn't any real reason for me to go to a coffee shop, I have a rather expensive coffee machine in my house. I wasn't getting out for the coffee, I was getting out to simply get out. Nadi also never turned down a walkey that was offered to her, so I brought her along.
Good news on the injury front though as I am not really feeling any pain anymore and have learned how to keep myself that way. I just don't really use my arm with the injured shoulder unless I absolutely must like to hold Nadi for a second and she only weighs 6kg so I can handle that.
So far she really likes this coffee shop because the staff are nice to her and she has a long bench seat to explore with plants on the back of it.
mostly she just sits there and stares and me and the kitchen though. A dog's desire for food never fades!
This was a strange little coffeeshop and looking around and seeing as how it was prime time for a coffee shop, around 9am, this doesn't bode well for this establishment.
As far as I could tell this one other customer didn't even have any plates or cups on his table, so if he did order anything he finished it a while ago. Coffee shops let people do this, other ones will actually let digital nomads plug into their electric and I think that is a bad idea. Anyway, not my shop, not my business how they run it.
I ordered some food even though I didn't really know what it was. It was $2 so I figured I could just not eat it if I didn't like it but here is my mystery breakfast for you to ogle.
So what is that you ask? The answer is "I don't really know." It's got an egg, some veg, two types of lunch meat, some other scrunched up meat and a sauce of some sort that everything is swimming in. It looks disgusting but the sauce was actually quite nice. I used the bread to sop that up and of course, Nadi got some of it as well.
I wouldn't say that anyone should really go out of their way to get whatever this is. Hell, I found it to be "meh" enough that I didn't bother remembering what it was called. I think the lunch meat that was in there wasn't great and I have two reasons for thinking that way.
When I got home I dropped Nadi off because I needed to go to the store and it is just easier without her. The cleaner was in cleaning and since Nadi is so well-behaved I figured everything was going to be fine especially since I always give her a treat just for successfully making it back to the house. I was gone maybe 10 minutes and when I got back she had thrown up on the floor. I can only guess that being left with the cleaner had made her super nervous because we almost never have guests and I very rarely will leave her with other people.
It's ok baby! I cleaned it up and then gave her some more treats if she wanted them. I don't think it is an illness, Nadi is just really emotional and suffers from separation anxiety when I leave her with other people. I may have mentioned that when I am at a bar with her, if I go to the bathroom she immediately jumps up and just watches where I went the entire time until I come back. Awwww baby... I would never leave you!
So that was my morning! Now I honestly don't know what the hell I am going to do for hte rest of the day. it is 10:30am right now. I think I'll do tippy taps on this computer thing for a couple of hours and then have a go at trying to go for a walk!
It's nice that you and Nadi had a little adventure. Oh! Poor Nadi, getting nervous with the cleaner, her little separation anxiety really shows how much she loves being with you. I’m glad your shoulder’s doing better.
Thanks... yeah Nadi gets worse with her worrying ways as she gets older. If someone knocks on my door it will upset her to the point where she will probably throw up later. My friends all know to NEVER knock on my door now.
Nadi probably remembers those times she felt anxious being apart from you and just wants to avoid that feeling again. Good thing your friends have learned her rules.😀
Absolutely! 😄 Nadi must be having so much fun sniffing and exploring new places with you. She’s lucky to have a friend like you! 🐾 That mystery breakfast actually looks kind of fun to try, even if just for the experience! Hope the rest of your day turns out just as interesting (but with less vomit 😅)."
the mystery breakfast was fun to try but I don't think I would ever order it again. Just not special enough.
It looks interesting, though the egg looks a bit underdone for me. I like them runny, but that looks almost raw. Maybe that is just the sauce. Do you think it was under seasoned and that is why it was just meh for you? I'm glad you are able to get out and have found a way to manage the pain now.
the egg was actually overcooked and stuck to the bottom of the pan. It is just the sauce giving that impression because the yolk was solid as well. I liked the sauce but at the same time while this was just fine, I wouldn't go back there specifically for this thing. It's just not special enough but then again, almost nothing here is. The food is quite bland here.
That's interesting to hear. I guess compared to the food in Thailand anything is relatively bland. At least that's the impression I get from American Thai food.
That coffee shop is on limited time and you wonder what the owner was even thinking. The food does not even look presentable and you only get one chance to impress customers whether they will return or not.
there are probably 1000 coffee shops in this city so they regularly go in and out of business. I don't know what inspires people to open something with such a high failure rate.
Maybe they think it is easier than a restaurant, but you still have to do the basics very well which this place is obviously not doing.
