last night, around eleven o'clock, right before i went to bed, i went to take an empty plastic tumbler out of the dish drying rack to start my cold brew coffee in. somehow, it had been hung up on the french press, and the french press came out with it, and fell on the granite counter and shattered (alongside my spirit). at eleven o'clock at night. i decided i would wake up early to go to target to buy a replacement.
but then it stormed all night and i had an incredibly difficult time falling asleep (cramps) and whenever i would start to drift off, the thunder would act up and it was just. awful.
anyway, i went to target after waking up around eight, without eating or drinking anything. i didn't get back home until around ten, so i've been messed up a bit today.
breakfast; grapefruit and cold brewed coffee.
snack; carrots, celery with almond butter and dried cranberries, which i am affectionately calling red ants on a log.
lunch; the end of the quinoa/salsa! i actually didn't have as much left as i thought i did, which was really wonderful.
dinner; baked fried baby eggplant (i used olive oil instead of dressing and used gillian's gluten-free italian breadcrumbs), roasted potato.
water; one gallon as of 8pm. maybe another 32 ounces before bed?
i might have some more red ants on a log, because they were pretty delicious. because almond butter is so damned expensive and because i had never had it before, i bought two packets of justin's almond butter at the co-op. i like that they're individual servings, so you can't overindulge. and apparently there is a maple almond variety. mmmmmm. do want.
i've been thinking a lot about what i'm going to do after monday. i am sort of half considering doing another week of this because i do feel really good, but i really want cupcakes (well, that's not entirely true, i'm doing alright without them, but my uterus really wants cupcakes. and pretzels. chocolate covered pretzels. oh gosh, chocolate covered pretzels!). at the very least, i am going to try to maintain these less processed habits for a while. like if i have to have bread, i should be making it myself. i like knowing exactly what is going into what i'm eating, but i sometimes a very questionable cook and sometimes i just don't want to spend the time it takes to clean and chop and prepare and i just want to microwave pasta while i'm showering and douse it in tomato sauce and call it dinner. i don't know. there's got to be some sort of happy medium, right? right. i'll figure it out.
there's a really interesting article about the future of food in july's national geographic. it's kind of depressing and scary, but it's really good.
anyway. i spent the rest of the day cutting up books and watching various things on netflix. oh, and i recorded twentysix minutes of audio during a thunderstorm. because that's something that i thought would be good to have. yup. this is how my head works.
i finished up watching fire walk with me, which was really disappointing and not very good at all. not enough special agent dale cooper. and it really bugged me that they didn't go into laura's relationship with dr. jacoby. and the new donna was awful. it left me with more questions than answers. bah.
i think i shall spend the rest of the evening watching marx brothers movies and continuing to cut up books.
i haven't seen this in years, but i imagine that when i do, i will still be terrified of the same parts that i was scared of as a child. but this song is so good.
