Friday At Last

I pretty much knew by the time I fell asleep last night that I was catching a cold. I just had that weird feeling going on in my nose. Sure enough, I woke up with sniffles to add to my weird feeling nose. Hopefully this won’t turn into a full blown cold. Hate those! And we’re short staffed at work so I can’t afford to be ill. Tis the season!

Here’s my breakfast combo for the day…



-1/2 cup water
-1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond breeze
-1/3 cup Bob’s Red Mill 10 Grain cereal
-1/4 cup Enjoy Life Foods Cranapple granola



I was stuffed by the last 2 bites, but ate them anyways. It was too good to throw away even 2 measly spoonfuls!

Work went rather quick this morning. When I got in it looked like a tornado had hit my desk! How so much can accumulate in 1 day is beyond me. Around 11am I realized my tummy was growling at me. I ate a piece of my cake which held me over another 3 hours.

I decided against running today. I want to save my energy to fight this cold! I took a quick run to the store to pick up another box of Quaker Dino Egg porridge for my son. This is his newest addiction. He’s been eating it every morning for a few weeks now. Actually, he’s been eating anything and everything constantly for the past few weeks. He must be growing again!

I packed the rest of last night’s soup for lunch today. This stuff kept me full enough that I didn’t even eat a snack last night (although I did have this hot chocolate....I liked the dark better!).




That is some miracle, I tell you! I had some crackers on the side, too.



Around 3pm I munched on about 1 cup of green grapes. I love grapes when they’re firm and sweet. I could probably eat the whole bag!



Tonight will be a night that I suffer what I like to call “claw hand”. That’s when you wake up in the night and your hand is in the middle of a muscle cramp! EEK! I get this when I’ve had a heavy keypunching day at work…AKA….today!

I pulled some sauteed onion turkey sausages out for dinner tonight. My hubby did them up on the BBQ along with some onions wrapped in foil. I also roasted some butternut squash for 25 mins in a 425 deg oven. I just tossed them with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and a drizzle of agave.



My sweet end tonight was a muffin (the ones I made on Sunday).



I tried these little cashew clusters today from Mrs. May's
. They were very good! Crunchy with a sweet/salty thing going on. I would've taken a picture of an actual cluster, but DS ate the rest of this little bag when he came home from school. Too bad because I wanted to use some as an oat topper for tomorrow. Oh, well! I'll just have to but more. :) Just in case you missed what the baggie looked like, here's another picture.



I think I'm going to go brew at big cup of herbal tea and read my book. I think I'll grab a warm blanket, too! This will be a good night to chill out and go to bed early!

Bye for now!
