And Monday is Back Again

Dental cleaning today and I'm not unhappy. This is the longest I've gone in years and my teeth feel dirty. I can't wait to have them cleaned -- pain and all. That's a complete reversal for me. All perspective, dang.

Dinner was nice -- the food was amazing, but they were short staffed. Lots of errors out of the kitchen. Some mistakes we got to keep so leftovers came home. I ate way too much -- full belly meant horrible sleep and recovery stats. Worth eating so much?? Maybe not, but gathering for dinner was fantastic. Last family dinner for 6, next time, we'll be 7 :)

Special crispy rice.
Incredible flavor.

Salmon kabob with lentil/raisin rice.

was a mistake, but really tasty.

I have half the salmon and rice left to eat today. I MUST eat better before bed though. The older I get, the less I can tolerate a big dinner. I'll have this for lunch -- and, of course, no appetizer dips, extra table rice, falafel, special sauces, shared seasoned fries. HAH! It was a feast for my belly last night. I stayed clear of mock-tails, cocktails and dessert. There's a little win.

Dentist is all that's on the "official" schedule today, but I need to do some volunteer refresher before court on Wednesday, work on vacation plans and start figuring out garden mapping. I won't get to all of this today, but I can't waste the day either. 

I read a lot yesterday and still don't love the book. It's okay. The writing is good, the story telling is good, but I don't like the actually story. I still have over 300 tight pages to read. I'll stick with it until the next library book is ready. I should be at the brink of where readers say they suddenly love it (including the friend who recommended it). Slow start, hang in there, last half is outstanding. 

Hope you're set for a good Monday. It feels like a regular Monday again -- last week was a strange, sad Monday. Fresh start Monday is back.

Later gators and bots.
