Back to Work

I had to go back to work yesterday so I went to visit Tony before work.  I told him to call me if he wanted to during the day and that I’d carry my cell phone with me so if I was at the copier for a while, he could get a hold of me.  He said he didn’t want to use the phone with a roommate.  It’s a long time to be alone so I worked through lunch and was able to leave at 4:00 p.m. 😀

I hit up the cafeteria on my way to work – supa cheap breakfast – scrambled eggs, two pieces of bacon and fruit for only $2.50! I had my old camera with me – sadly I left the SD card in the computer, and for the life of me couldn’t find the usb cord to download the pictures. 🙁  Pretty sure everyone knows that eggs and bacon look like though!

Thanks google images!  Um, mine didn’t look that pretty but it was tasty.

Work was suprisingly not as hectic as I thought it was going to be – the first couple hours were spent sorting through email, mail etc.  For lunch I literally looked in my fridge and threw shit in a bag and hoped it would come out alright.

4 ounces rotisserie chicken breast (they were on sale for $2.99!), carrots, cucumber, 1 ounce cheese, 100 calorie pack of guacamole, apples, and grapes.  This took a really long time to eat too!  My only complaint was that the chicken breast was overcooked and almost too salty – I think I’ll make Tony some chicken noodle soup with the rest of the carcass for when he comes home. 😀

Ha –  I google imaged something that would remotely look like my lunch – I think that looks like chicken wings though! 😀

It was dark and stormy all day – temps in the 50’s and I actually heard thunder in the afternoon!  So crazy for December, even in Chicago.

I got to the hospital around 4:30 – he’d been up and around!  Still super tired though – he cat napped pretty much the whole time I was there.  I stayed until 9:00 – I was so hungry!  I had to deposit a check at the bank and picked up a frozen pizza for dinner – so not like me.

I ended up eating half of a 12 inch pizza because I was so hungry. 🙁  I feel so out of sorts by not following eTools, Paleo or doing my work out schedule as I wanted.  Part of me knows I shouldn’t beat myself so much because of everything that is going on, but the other part of me says if I really pushed it, I could do it all. 🙁

Since I haven’t been bizzy in my kitchen, here are some people who have made some things that are definitely going on my list of things to make:

Due Dishes made a delicious looking citrus chicken dish that they turned into lemon parmesan chicken with penne – I agree with them that citrus can really wake up a dish.

Jennifer of Spoon with Me made a sweet potato soup with honey and chipotle – this one quickly made the list of soups to make.  I am such a soup whore!

And Nicole, one of my favorite bloggers, made a pork tinga taco dish in the crock pot that looked amazing – you can never go wrong with Mexican!

Alright, off to shower, then to visit Tony and to work.  Here is your crazy Christmas picture of the day – I am behind in those!  I think the garter belts
