Raleigh, Day 5

Hooray, it's almost time to go home! Not that I didn't enjoy being here in Raleigh and being around the members and my co-workers, but I'm ready to get back to my routine at home, like my two C's: cat and (new) car.

The meeting today was only a half-day, so around noon, I have as many good-bye hugs as I could and headed out to lunch with my boss and 2 co-workers and a member. We picked up a member along the way...my boss affectionately said "Off the street." We headed to the Busy Bee Cafe where I had mac and cheese with bacon and loaded tater tots for lunch. I didn't think I would have to eat ever again. I was so full!  But the food was amazing!

My co-worker and I parted ways with the group so that we could make a CVS run for tomorrow's train ride snacks. I pretty much passed out for the rest of the afternoon until it was time for dinner. NCIS reruns kept me entertained. 

For dinner, my coworkers and I went to Beasley's, which is known for their fried chicken and waffles. Many people left after the meeting but since the last train for today has already left, I have to wait for the train tomorrow. Fortunately I'm not the only one. 

Anyway, I didn't have any room for a big meal, so I went with a side of biscuits and peanut butter pie (as recommended by my co-worker Jennifer earlier in the day). I also got a grapefruit flavored cocktail. Again, everything there was delicious and my diet will start promptly tomorrow.
