Today's Monday.

A new day. A new working day.

And also the day when I start my diet for the week.

What? Don't give me that look.

I have never quit my diet...almost.

I work as a journalist at the New York Times.

And you may think I took it up as a passion.

Yes and no.

I always wanted to be a journalist.

But then I got to know how stressful the job actually is.

My job is to be the mediator between good and bad.

I have to share both sides of the story.

I tell you, it's pretty hard to do with my rude boss sticking his nose around every 5 minutes.

But don't get me wrong, I don't completely hate my job.

It's nice to occasionally make the front page!

Satisfying, honestly.

Another work day over.

Woohoo......

I didn't get the front page today, bummer.

What I did get was a holler from my boss to work faster.

Ugh.

My cat cuddles up beside me as I watch Netflix on my bed.

I take a bag of doritos and start munching with some ice-cream by my side.

Ohhhhh, right! About the diet...hehe

Today's actually my cheat day!
