It’s hard not to get discouraged when everything seems to be uncontrollably slipping downhill.  As of this very moment, both my apartment and my office have no running water or usable toilet.  My apartment does have A/C, but it’s full of plumbers and contractors ripping open the walls in my bedroom and bathroom (hence no H2O or accessible toilet).  My office has no construction being done (currently, although it is a work site) but it has no A/C so I am uncomfortably sitting and sweating with only a warm water bottle for hydration (and no, it wasn’t warm to begin with, but such is what happens when sitting in hot, stagnant air for a considerable amount of time).

You can understand now why I find such solace in my evenings of cooking experiments and blogging.  (Shaun T. and I did have our date today, albeit earlier than normal ~ 6.45a start time ~ yowsa!).

Positive things to focus on today ~

1.  I’m all caught up on ‘Insanity’ workouts, so no double days in the near future!

2.  I get to eat lunch at the restaurant today because there is nowhere for me to store a homemade lunch at my office.  (Yippee for roasted peppers!  Mmmmm!)

3.  When today is done, there is less week left than there was when I got up this morning. **This is my favorite one! AND, it’s a 3 day weekend!!

I’m stumped for dinner right now ~ we have some turkey sausages I am thinking about making, but I will have to find a good recipe because I don’t want a disappointing dinner to follow last night’s masterpiece (I’m still thinking about how divine it was!)

Ok, grumble finished.  I feel a little better.

Hope everyone else’s days are flying higher than mine!
