Thursdayness

The writing mojo is fierce today! I hope I can do a little creative writing this evening. I had a couple of issues with some of the writing gig articles I was working on, but I took it up with my editor and worked out a solution that made both of us happy. Win!

As far as the creative writing goes, I think I have a plan to jumpstart my motivation and keep me accountable for getting the writing done.

Another thing keeping me going today - the local classical music station. They had a good variety on today, from the 16th century "Bergerette Sans Roch" (delightful Renaissance music) to an instrumental version of the Beatles' "Here, There and Everywhere." Nice!

Anyway...Lance came home in the middle of the post. And I haven't thought about what to make for dinner all day, but now that I think about it, I have nothing to make for dinner that he can eat. I don't have anything left that doesn't contain some type of pasta or something. So he wants to go to IHOP. He wants bacon and eggs. But we have bacon and eggs here at the house. What to do...what to do...

I still have to be productive this evening. It's hard right now. My shoulders are sore from the work I've done already today. I don't think I'm in a comfortable position for working. I'm usually on the couch with the laptop in my lap. All the tables and desks in the house are too high for me to comfortable work with the laptop, but sitting on the couch for hours at a stretch isn't fun for me either.

(no subject)

Yeah...so we went to IHOP for dinner. I got their Hawaiian chicken stir fry, which seems healthy. After all, it's chicken breast meat, a ton of veggies and a ginger soy sauce served over white rice. But the calories...ugh. 910 for the whole plate! The saturated fat was low though. Sodium...yeah, it was the hypertension special.

But I ate about half and boxed up the other half to have for lunch tomorrow.

And Lance had his bacon and eggs, so he's happy.

I've been mostly following a low GI diet today, just to see how I feel. Breakfast was a mixture of strawberries and blueberries with yogurt and granola. Lunch was deli turkey slices, hummus on whole grain crackers, and cheddar cheese. And then dinner was this stir fry thing. I don't think it was too bad, overall. I haven't been particularly peckish between meals today, as I usually am.

I'm going to consult the low GI shopping list in this book I'm reading and use that as a guide for grocery shopping this weekend.

Lance and I stopped at Top on the way back from dinner. I picked up some bananas. He wanted to check out Nature's Market too, which is an organic foods store (lots of gluten free stuff too)...spendy, which is what I expected, but they had a lot of really good stuff there. It was certainly a food porn kind of place. Lance wants to check out Trader Joe's, so maybe we'll go there on Saturday.
