Sameness But With More Saturday

Saturday, October 14, 2023

You know it.  TGIS.  Truly the finest day of the week.  It's been different with no golf and we're headed into the offseason, so the routine is different.  I'm definitely more relaxed on Saturday mornings.  Working on not thinking about work outside of work whenever possible, and I think that's helping.

Anyway, it's another not very nice day out there.  I really need to stop counting on the weather apps and just go outside.  Rain on the radar, supposed to be very windy.  I went out to go to the store a little later and it's barely sprinkling and only a little breezy.  I was perfectly comfortable in a sweatshirt and rain jacket.  Sure, the jacket wouldn't hold up to real rain, but I would have been fine.  Need to stop being lazy.  It would help if I had some pep.  Any pep.

Small win this morning.  I violated a basic rule and went to the grocery store while hungry.  Didn't buy too much unplanned stuff, but the notable thing is I survived the bakery aisle.  Usually, when I go Friday nights there are ~ no donuts.  This morning, since I went early, there was a full case.  Managed to not get any, but I sure thought about it.  Instead I'll eat breakfast at 11:00.  (Edit:  Only held out until 10:15.  Doh.)

Breakfast:  Buttermilk pancakes w butter and maple syrup, Meijer low sodium bacon, coffee

I pulled pancakes out yesterday to have tomorrow forgetting that I have to make a batch to use up the rest of my buttermilk.  Turned out to be a good thing since I now have "breakfast" and they were something I could use to talk myself out of buying donuts.  Also, this is the last of the grocery store bacon.  I found 3 packages of bacon at the farm last week (bought 2) so I'll have some clean stuff next.

Lunch:  Home tacos, chips and onion dip later

Thawed this for last night's dinner and then didn't eat it, so it becomes today's lunch.  Dip was a new kind, Daisy.  Nice clean ingredients.  Flavor a bit subdued, but that's to be expected with no MSG.

Dinner:  Home pizza, 12 oz Miller Lite, mixed nuts, a little Breyers natural vanilla ice cream

So easy.  Also fast, other than the wait for the oven to get good and hot.  Which makes it not fast.  Turned out delicious once again.

Exercise:  Nope.  Walked around the grocery store and was active around the house, but no dedicated chunk.  Too bad, I was up at 4:30 and didn't feel too bad.  Just slow.
