I’m back!  I’m still pretty pissed about my foot, but at least I am calm about it now.  It’s not just that my foot hurts, it’s mostly that the hurting is making me unable to walk normally, which is making my knee and hip really hurt.  Even if I ignore the pain I physically can’t make myself walk normally and I’m worried that once I can run again I’ll have messed up my hip or knee.  Argh!  I’m going to take one more day off and then attempt to go to the gym tomorrow. 

Moving on.  I didn’t sleep  well last night (shocking right?!) so I slept in until 9 and then got up and got organized for volunteering.  I ate a PB&J Lara Bar on the walk to the hospital.

I love this flavor!  When I put my shoes on at home I seemed ok, but by the time I was a block away I knew it wasn’t going to happen.  My ward (dialysis) didn’t have anything seated for me to do so I offered to help in the volunteer office.  I spent an hour or so on the telephone helping people get appointments for free heart health screenings.  There wasn’t much else for me to do so I got home much earlier than usual.

I took advantage of the found time to make dinner for tonight.

I have night class, so Adam can just throw this in the oven when it’s time for him to eat.

Then I got started on noon eats.  For lunch I made my Easy Peasy Peanut Noodles (click the link for the recipe).

I used a Justin’s pb packet and added baby arugula and shredded carrots.

Delish.  I love reheating pasta in a pan so it gets all nice and crispy.

I have class from 6:30-7:50 tonight but I’ve got to leave before 3:30 so I can go to the pharmacy to pick up my foot medicine.  We have our first chemistry quiz (and our first lab!) this week so I’ve got lots of studying to squeeze in today.  I’m glad dinner is done with 🙂

There are three reasons for the end of this post:  1) Caitlin’s brilliance this morning reminded me, 2) I’ve been planning on posting some inspiration ever since I found out that today is The International Day of Peace, 3) my attitude has been pretty negative lately, I would like to put out some positivity.  That said, here is a list of some of my favorite quotes –

“A man is what he thinks about all day.”  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”  ~Edmund Burke

“People who are sensible about love are incapable of it.”  ~Douglas Yates

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life – it goes on.”  ~Robert Frost (I actually have part of this one engraved on the back of my i-pod)

“This one step – choosing a goal and sticking to it – changes everything.”  ~Scott Reed

“Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing those you hold well.”  ~Josh Billings

“For all the sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are those ‘it might have been.'”  ~John Greenleaf Whittier
