Non-Dietary Wins

January 7, 2012
Day 5

It's amazing how much joy I get out of stupid things. I got a new dishwasher today. I've wanted one ever since I bought my house more than 10 years ago. I went to the local appliance store about 1:40. I picked out two options and asked how they were running on delivery. It was delivered and installed by 3:00. That's running gooooood.

While I was looking, a guy walked in and purchased a closeout range hood that was hanging above the dishwashers. Color me jealous, it was a screaming bargain for a beautiful unit. Most of the range hoods were at least 3x what he paid. One little scratch was all I saw. I don't have a range hood and it frustrates me to no end when I generate smoke or a lot of steam in the kitchen.

Anyway, lots of running around today. Did a bunch of shopping, a little cleaning and some grocery-getting.

Menu:

Breakfast: 4 sausage patties, 2 slices american cheese, 1/2 grapefruit

Lunch: 3 oz Dietz and Watson corned beef

I was scrounging for something to eat and remembered that I had bought a small quantity of deli corned beef to sample. It was OK but really, corned beef is useless without kraut and dressing!

Dinner: Taco salad with spicy pork, lettuce, tomato, cheese, cilantro, some refried beans and hot sauce.

Decided to eat out before going to the store this evening. Was getting pretty hungry and didn't want to shop on fumes. I was pretty tired as it was. I guess I could have asked for no beans on the salad but since it was the bottom layer I think I kept my intake to a reasonable level. Besides, they already thought I was kooky because I declined the free chips and salsa.

Lots of win today overall.
