Finally! I cleaned my workspace today in a major way. AND created a nice little space for my personal odds & ends that I keep here at work: utensils, condiments, dental care, etc! This cabinet was previously cluttered with papers and folders; I went through all of them and was able to get rid of the bulk of it.
By the way, that is NOT a bottle of wine 🙂 Well, it was once upon a time, but we converted it into to an olive oil dispenser.

Mood:
Good! I slept like a baby; I’m rested and ready to seize the day.
Tonight:
Cirque du Soleil is in town to perform “Alegria”! We have tickets in the cheap seats (and at $40 each, still not that cheap) but we are excited! We’ve been to two performances before (one in New York and one in Connecticut) but have never seen “Alegria”. The music of this particular show has a lot of meaning to me, as my host family from when I was studying abroad in college in Argentina introduced it to me, and the CD was playing all the time in their house. It was like the soundtrack to Lucas’s and my budding romance!
Food:
Breakfast: I whipped up a batch of oats-to-go for Lucas and me. This is what today’s batch had, serves 2.
-2/3 cup steel cut oats
-1 and 1/2 cups water
-3/4 cup soymilk
-4 tbs oat bran
-4 tbs Ezekiel Original
-2 tbs dried currants
-2 tbs flaxseeds
-2 tbs agave nectar
My hamstrings are so sore, but I don’t know why!

Fitness:
Day off, although I did take a leisurely 45 minute walk
Food:
Afternoon snack: Peppermint tea and a slice and a half of banana bread
Dinner: Light tonight. Fresh juice (oranges, apple, celery, carrots, ginger, lemon). Refreshing, delicious. I am soooo glad that we got the juicer. We’ve had it for several months now, but I tell you, it’s magic in a glass, everytime.
Post-dinner snack: A cup of Kashi GO LEAN Crunch! Honey Almond Flax. Reminds me of Honey Smacks!
I’m exhausted. Time to do some dishes then go to bed.
