Morning Bleah

I'm finding that morning is the hardest part of the day to get through since my life has been thrown into some minor chaos with leaving the restaurant. Between the tiredness, Betsy & Edie rolling in lockstep, and my mind naturally going to pessimism, it's something I need to strategize -- whether it's food (jump start with chocolate covered coffee beans?), a routine or a ritual, I dunno. I lift weights M-W-F which definitely helps, but I think doing it more than that might be excessive. Maybe a combination of food, an act to help with a work search, and a light yoga routine? Hmmm, could anyone advise me on a light self-guided daily 10-minute yoga routine?!


TODAY'S COOKING

Wasn't planning on eating this but MAP came over, and mommainlaw, B, MAP and even Edie were all eating these things I ate this morning, so I ate one to be sociable. Edie was going nuts on mommainlaw;s sandwich, licking the ice cream then grabbing her hand and pushing her face into it when it was pulled away from her, all the while strenuously repeating the word, "CAKE!"


PM SNACK: 4:45pm, slice of streetza, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Was in the playground, B was feeling hungry because all she had to eat all afternoon was...an ice cream sandwich, so I got a slice for her, and I couldn't just let her eat alone!
