Life Intervenes

I have to buckle down to do my work. But life has a way of intervening.....Punch doctor checkup today at 3 pm., pizza bake-off prep for Sunday's block party.....I plan to do some work-work tomorrow, Saturday.

Good night to you.

TCOY Day 6 off Sugar Road

1. Overnight oats with berries.
2. Nice tuna sandwich on rye--I made and ate it before P's 3 pm dr. appt.
3. Did not eat a piece of the dessert pizza that Punch and her pal were testing tonight [for the bake-off].
4. Squirreled away a peach for breakfast tomorrow. Around here, fruit goes fast. Bananas, peaches, pears, fresh figs.....fast.
