Productive Morning
Wow, I'm having a very productive morning so far. Before 9:00 AM, I did an hour of research for some articles, cleaned out the refrigerator, sorted out the snack/cereal cabinet, washed the dishes, and started dinner for tonight!
For dinner tonight I am making this recipe for lemon chicken, which looks pretty healthy to me. I've already prepared the wilted cucumber salad from The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, and chopped the tomatoes for fresh tomato basil pasta. This will be the first time I've cooked meat in over a week -- we have been eating lots of legumes lately.
Perhaps my new weekend productivity has something to do with the fact that Marty is at work today. He will be working on Saturdays for the next several months. We don't know how long he will have to do this, but it could be until as late as November. I can't even begin to tell you how much this sucks.
Anyway, I think I might have felt a little guilty about pursuing my usual Saturday morning routine (if lazing around for hours can be considered a "routine") after he was out the door at 7:00 AM. So maybe that's why I've done so much already today.
On a different subject, Thursday morning I was driving to work and something -- I'm not really sure what -- flew up off the highway and hit my car. It slammed right into my windshield, scratching the glass in four places, but not cracking it thank goodness. I was on the interstate, going pretty fast, and this thing hit the car so hard that the whole vehicle shook. Before I could see what it was, it was gone. From the way it slammed against the glass, I thought it was a board or something, but maybe it was part of one of those big truck tires.
Anyway, it scared the hell out of me. My heart was pounding for fifteen minutes after it happened. Later, I noticed that as well as scratching my windshield, it had put three big gouges in the hood of my car as well. I feel very lucky the thing didn't come through the windshield. It hit the glass right in front of my face. I'm sure it would have killed me.
Well, off to continue my productive morning. I am going to sign up for yoga class (or as Marty calls it, yoda class) and run some errands. Looks like a sunny day already, so that's something to be happy about!
