Day 295: Monday Begins, Shoulder Doesn't

The shoulder continues to hurt. I got a note last Friday that said "the school bus will now be arriving five minutes earlier every day." This piece of breaking news means that instead of waking Ruby at 7:05 I have to wake her up at 7:00, which means I have to wake up at sometime with a 6 in it, which is crop dusting hour. It also means eggs (unless they are hard-boiled the night before) are a thing for weekends only, since I just can't handle the break-neck pace of bed to bus (including hair) in 45 minutes. I must keep to my bread for breakfast diet, though on Oprah Bob Greene mentioned that starting the day with a big breakfast was a good way to get your metabolism going. I do want to a have a big breakfast—I just want have to a big lunch and dinner, too.

Breakfast
2 slices balthazar bread
peanut butter
tea
2 oz 50% jalapeno light cheddar

snack
coffee
1 joy stick
1 cheese stick
1/4 cup almonds/cashews
2 apples cameo
1 oz peanuts

lunch
stuffed chicken
asparagus
broccoli and sun-dried tomatoes

dinner
pork cutlets
a bissel sauteed spinach
broccoli
5 string beans
1 oz cracker barrel cheese
handful of unsalted cashews

For some reason, I wasn't very hungry tonight; it could have to do with the fact that I had a lot of snacks—I was very, very hungry this afternoon. I ate the apple I had brought to work on Friday (but didn't eat) and the one I had with me. Then, I had to eat some peanuts. When I got home, I didn't really want to eat dinner, but I still wanted to eat cheese and nuts. It's the time in the blog where I wonder "where is the red, orange and yellow food I should be eating?"

Sorry to hear about the school bus...what a difference five minutes makes.....I'm driving down to Phila tomorrow to pick up my folks...that is if I can negotiate the roads now that the transit strike is on. We all have our obstacles. Love, MOM
