Hard Day's Night

When not in a sugar haze, I feel more energized. I wrote this close to 9 p.m. and by then, I was tired. And in between work tasks, had fretted about Punchy's behavior on a few different counts. Our Punch has a good, golden heart, but......she has special needs, too.

TCOY/ Day 3 off Sugar Road
  1. I couldn't make it to 7 a.m. support group but I did get to Becky's great but hard yoga class from 8 to 9:15. Proud.
  2. Job app stuff.
  3. Talked to Sis.
  4. Walked back from town.
  5. Made really good dinner--flank steak [on sale today] marinated in teriyaki sauce; Martha Stewart recipe baby potatoes with rosemary I grew; green beans I grew; red, ripe sliced tomato from Elaine's garden. Vegan Fig and vegetarian Dan weren't here, and Punch and I are steak lovers, when we can get it.
  6. I just made a pot of Flavahan's creamy overnight Irish oats again, with pure vanilla extract and a ratio of half organic whole milk to half water. So good, almost like rice pudding. Punch loves figs, so before she ate whole pack I bought today, I squirreled away 3 to have tomorrow morning with my bowl.
