Yum

I had the day off today. I slept in a little bit and then went shoe shopping with my mom. We had a nice afternoon. I went to the produce market, where I'd never been for some unknown reason, and loaded up three bags of stuff for a mere $16. I bought six little Louisiana satsumas. I ate three tonight. I could eat three more. I've decided they are the best thing I have ever eaten.

I made a simple but very yummy dinner tonight, a recipe suggested by my friend. I sauteed bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic in lots of pepper and thyme, oregano, and basil then dumped in a can of diced tomatoes and cooked that down. Then I heated some Tyson chicken chunks (already cooked, in the frozen foods section, because I recently decided that life is too short for me to hold back the puke cutting up raw chicken ever again if I can help it) in some olive oil and stirred it into the other mixture. Then I served it over some tri-colored orzo pasta and topped it with feta cheese. YUM. For good measure, I made some sweet potato crack with the sweet potatoes I bought at the produce market even though it wasn't really a sensible side dish. I feel so very pleased to have three kinds of squash and a refrigerator full of strawberries, grapefruit, satsumas, apples, and leftovers from tonight's dinner.

I'm trying to keep up with the Artist's Way with my sister but the truth is that I haven't done a very good job. I am not really good about facing myself in any sort of paper journaling way right now, and this book is a lot of that. I want to overcome that fear.

Work is sure to be busy/crazy for the foreseeable future, but I am choosing not to think about that. I hope that school will be okay. I plan to stick with the exercise. I just want to have a happy and healthy life. I want to stop being a psycho in some respects. I think I'm going to bed early tonight. Goodnight.
