1/5/14
Ahhhhh, Sunday. The last true day of my Christmas break. I did go back to work last Thursday but not all the kids were there (or all the teachers for that matter). Tomorrow will be the first day when everyone returns and we are back to business as usual.
I slept in this morning and even after I woke up I lazed in bed reading The Red Tent. When I finally did get up at 11:00 I had a bowl of granola cereal. I had a date to meet an eharmony guy at 1:00 and wanted to be able to enjoy a cup of coffee so I kept breakfast simple. It turns out that that might have been a mistake.
We met at The Spotted Cow (a place I've never been before), and I ordered a tall, skinny, low fat, caramel macchiato. It was served in a real cup which was a nice change from Starbucks paper cups, had a cute crisscross pattern on the top, but...it was only just barely warm.
I'm not sure if it was their brand of coffee, the fact that all I'd had was a bowl of cereal, or because I haven't had any coffee in a week but I really felt the caffeine and it wasn't pleasant. I had errands to run and things to get done at home but I felt jumpy and a bit on edge.
For dinner tonight I had, a skinless chicken thigh, green pepper, mushrooms, carrots, and onion all marinated and baked in teriyaki sauce, brown rice, water, and half a Granny Smith apple. I also had one pretzel, Rolo, pecan treat.
