I actually made breakfast AND egg bakes in a muffin tin to take to work with me. I found a recipe online and had most of the ingredients, so I cracked eggs, cut some counter-dried tomatoes, substituted in some milk, crumbled some bacon, picked out the good pieces of spinach from the sagged salad, forgot the cheese and ran out of pepper, but for once they came out of the pan and I have a whole mess of individually contained little egg bakes, so I feel like the healthiest and most prepared person on the planet.
When I finally got dressed, I found a package notice I'd forgotten in a jeans pocket, and made it to the post office before my sensors got returned. I never made tea yesterday (I got hooked on Diet Cokey again, and am trying to reestablish my tea brewing habit), so I went through the Starbucks drive through and got a sweet tea, then parked and walked in to exchange it for something I can drink. Walmart had the 4 gallon trash bags I love so much in lemon scent, and I bought 3 so I won't have to come back to Walmart anytime soon. I swear, I ought to rewrite the lyrics to Ice Cube's It Was A Good Day.
I came home and between yelling at the dogs, I listened to the organization podcast and bustled around, cleaning and vacuuming. The lady downstairs smokes in her apartment, so the refreshing aroma of cigarettes comes in through the vents and I am constantly looking for ways to banish my smoking karma with little plug in smelly things and room spray and the other day I bought a little tealight wax warmer because I found honeysuckle wax cubes. I just love honeysuckle. So that's been my go to smelly lately, when the AC kicks on, the smell comes in, and I start muttering cuss words or yelling them, depending on my mood. I dropped a bacon crumble in the melted wax while making the egg bakes because of course I did- who else has a pool of melted wax on the counter where they're cooking?
So the organization lady got me all fired up talking about productivity, and then she interviewed the Four Tendencies and Happier woman. Both of them together!? I kicked it into high gear. Lisa talked about counting productivity by finished projects, and Gretchen Rubin explained why identifying your inner motivation doesn't work for obligers. It felt good to be told what to focus on, so I narrowed in and finished a few things and felt like I could face Sunday.
I joined friends for Wing Fest and didn't see anyone else I knew, which is weird for Reno, but nice. We ate bad food and watched the tattoos go by. Wing Fest is serious business- there are trophies and all sorts of categories, but the votes were counted earlier in the day and lots of vendors had run out of wingredients. The strawberry cheesecake sauce was long gone. Yes, that's for wings. Chicken wings. Yes, really.
Tomorrow our houseguests will be collected and I will hopefully google how to make protein bars and have another kitchen adventure. This empty table will lure me to start a new puzzle, Netflix has sent me another France related movie, and I'm going to brunch, so tomorrow should be a nice day too.
Gus has been a gracious host, and I learned how to sling an old dog and take all three of them out for a walk at once. Aha!
