That is legit disturbing. Ew.

You are a genius, Sophia! I wonder if I could work out something similar? I also like the next-thing-in-line approach, but that would require hanging up or otherwise organizing my clothes somehow. Which I hope will happen someday, but that day is not today.

Yeah, I think it was the Obama thing that set me thinking about it. Also Daddy Warbucks, perhaps in the novelization of the movie version of Annie that had Carol Burnett in it. That was a long time ago, but I think it was in there. ETA Good lord, that was directed by John Huston? Huh.

Working from home makes it even easier - most days I'm in pajamas or sweatpants all day because no one sees me.

Right there with you.

Not having to make a decision about lunch is super great. I only need to decide When Lunch? and that's driven by my work calendar.

Decision fatigue comes with anxiety.

Ugh, yes. I follow UfYH and pick out what I'm wearing the night before, and I've done it so often that it's habit and only requires a "what's up with the weather?" check.

Moi aussi. Although I've spent weeks in sarongs each summer. Our house doesn't have central air (well, WORKING central AC) so it's sarongs unless I'm cleaning and packing. I feel I clean better in gym shorts.

I have the same dinner most nights. Ham and swiss on a baguette with a sliced pear or apple and often some edamame on the side. J is doing Atkins, so he has a big slab of some kind of meat, which is not my thing.

By choice, I ate the same thing for lunch everyday from first to eighth grade (1/2 a peanut butter sandwich and an apple) so, while I go through periods of eating similar things most days, I tend to crave variety.

lisah: I did that too but it was more like I had to have pb&j everyday for lunch in 2nd grade and scrambled eggs every day for breakfast. (After that year it wasn't until my 20s that I could handle eating peanut butter ever again.)

And I think I had a very basic cheese sandwich for lunch for most of my high school years.

You guys, I want to eat the same thing for lunch every day. Is that OK?

Depends. Is that thing ice cream?

My throat still hurts like the dickens. Even though I've been on antibiotics for almost 2 days. It's been hurting since Friday or so. I hate this.

I am sorry about your throat, mears, but I read this

My throat still hurts like the dickens

As My throat still hurts like chickens! And it was amusing to me.

I had to stop taking lunch because my mother was very concerned about refrigeration/food poisoning issues, so not only was the only kind of sandwich I was allowed peanut butter, she froze my Hi-C drink in some sort of tupperware container to keep everything (which was basically a peanut butter sandwich with no jelly and possibly applesauce or canned pears) cold. And it would melt and leave little Hi-C drops on the bread somehow, even though they were in separate tupperware containers.

I had a sandwich, a piece of fruit, a bag of chips, and cookies for lunch pretty much every day in high school. I would probably be perfectly happy eating that every day now, except it doesn't fit my current diet.

Scrappy's standard dinner sounds fantastic, btw.

I have started eating this chia seed custard concoction as my daily breakfast and it seems to be working out okay so far. I can make 8 servings at a time, which helps, but if I run out and find it difficult to make myself make another batch, well, historically that's when I run into trouble with these plans.
