Wow, the last Sunday of nearly two weeks off of work. Like Andrea, I’m not sure how it is going to feel to be at work tomorrow! I just spoke with Erin and she, Andrea, and I are going to dinner tomorrow night. Yippeeeee! I’m so excited!
Today was a very busy day; I felt like I was going non-stop from 9 to 9, but in a good way. My oatmeal this morning was nummy; it consisted of: 1/4 cup steel cut oats, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup almond milk, 1 tbsp raisins, big dash of cinnamon, and a few tsp of Barney Butter. Tasty goodness!
I headed to the gym for yoga, and was dismayed at how dirty and ugly everything looks outside now that all the snow is gone. It made me want to live in a snowier area several times today.
Yoga was great, I sweated a lot, and I’m glad I went. I felt so good, in fact, that I headed to Target afterward to get crew socks and check out the grocery section. The grocery area is pretty expansive now, and the prices seem really good on some items. It could be dangerous, though, if I go there more often and end up shopping in other areas! I love Target.
Once home I made a quick lunch that was very tasty indeed: sundried tomato flatout with one egg white, 4 slices of warmed turkey, a little parmesan cheese, spinach, a few small slices of Fuji, a dash of red wine vinegar, and ground pepper. Mmmm! I also had the rest of the Fuji and about 1/2 cup of lf/ff cottage cheese. A perfect lunch 🙂
Love the detail of the parmesan rind!
I think I got online for a few minutes, watched TV for a few, and then started my cleaning fest: unloaded, loaded, and ran the dishwasher; put away snow clothes; cleaned kitchen counters; swept floors; washed wine glasses; put away Christmas wrap and decor (tree is still up, tho!); reorganized recycling in garage; put wine glasses to donate in boxes; did Lily’s laundry; played with Lily; organized Lily’s food and the birdseed…. Eventually I made the grocery list and went to the store. I even returned bottles/cans and took back a boatload of plastic bags (I hardly ever do those two things, hence the pile that had grown in the garage).
Dinner was easy to make, and turned out yummy. We had roasted chicken breasts with carrots and onions, and mashed potatoes. Amidst the storm craziness the only chicken I could get at the store the other day was split chicken breasts with skin and bones on, but they were great for roasting.
After dinner the cleaning fest continued: loaded stuff into d/w; did handwash; did my laundry; prepped oatmeal; prepped lunch items; made to-do list for work and personal items for Monday; put Lily’s biscuits away (I transfer them from the box into a reusable tub to stay fresh); organized receipts…
I’m so glad I got all that stuff done today, you don’t even know! I hate coming home to a dirty house during the work week. Nothing like dirty dishes (or a clean d/w that I need to unload), dirty floors, and shit stacked up to ruin my mood. How ’bout you?
I had a new snack tonight that I’ve seen all around blog world: a banana with nut butter (specifically BB). This was really tasty, and I think will be even better when the nana is a litte more ripe.
Well, the day is winding down and I think I’ll head to bed. I know it will be tough to get up, no matter how much sleep I get.
I hope you all had a great weekend 🙂 Toodle-oo!
