Ick. Vacation day or no, do not like being awake in the middle of the night because my stomach is unhappy! Boooo. Good thing I don’t have anything to do today (!) but clean and cook.

Yuck, meara. I hope you're feeling better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, hope you are better in the morning, meara! And ready for a taco bar. Now I want a taco bar.

I think I gave up around 530, I just couldn’t get comfortable, and will hope for a nap later. Still haven’t gotten out of bed, mind you, but have been awake. Will eventually get up and make coffee and whatnot.

Cereal:

Taco bar is fun! I have done it a few times for breakfast tacos, which is great—can be vegan/veg/gluten/dairy free as needed. Plus I use it as an excuse to make quick pickled onion which is tasty but I never remember to eat when it’s in my fridge otherwise.

Yeah, I have some of those in my fridge right now! I had sweet potato/black bean tacos for lunch yesterday. Would recommend!

Our wings are not tired.

Taco bars are indeed awesome. Last time I did one I had fish and beef as options as well as a veggie fake beef crumble to cover all my peoples. So yum! Hope the tummy settles down, meara.

I'm going to wah wah wah for a bit, no hair pats needed as that may only encourage me. So much stuff needs to be done for house showings. Big realtor invite only type open house tomorrow. DH & cleaning lady are spending whole day doing stuff like all the windows inside and out, floor details and such. I can do nothing. I spent yesterday in bed. I think I maybe pulled a stich Saturday doing too much. Ick details (more discharge and pinchy ouchies in the region) Pretty sure I am anemic because of lightheadedness and brain fog. Couldn't remember IP addresses I use every day! Going to add more iron rich stuff to my menu the next few days. DH does most food prep for me. I'll tell doc when I get my weekly checkup call tomorrow. I already know the instructions. Don't do shit and relax. I suck at this.

On the good side, at least I work on a computer and I can do that in my sleep pretty much. And I am blowing through the novels which is awesome, between naps.

Continued recovery to you, Laura.

I have a berry crisp in the oven, because the fruit I got the other day turned out sort of meh, and I don’t want it to spoil for lack of interest. And crisps definitely interest me.

I have onerous tasking ahead of me today. The crisp will help.

Yum berry crisp!!

I need to get my butt in gear—I’ve been up and showered since like 715, and so far managed to….walk to the fancy store to get one ingredient (spices that Trader Joe’s won’t have) and a breakfast pastry, and eat it with coffee. I need to clean my house, go grocery shopping, and cook. Lying on the bathroom floor at one point last night (because cool cool tile felt good) reminded me I haven’t had cleaners in a few months and really need to sweep and mop the bathroom floor…
