It was so good Friday night to relax after a busy day and productive week. I usually let the end of each day unfold with no plans: grabbing protein snacks from the fridge, checking Facebook and personal messages, crashing in my recliner until evening sessions begin. \u00a0When I’m going to dine with friends, I rearrange my eating schedule a couple of meals ahead of time. \u00a0I’d eaten chicken salad at 2:30pm, so at 8:00pm I wanted something light: summer rolls<\/a>!\u00a0Had I re-read this post<\/a>\u00a0first, I would have had tighter wraps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week I sliced into thin strips and stored in the fridge, all stacked up: red peppers, celery, carrot, cucumber (remove wet seeds), zucchini, scallion. I do that so it’s easy at the end of a long day to reach in and grab a few containers of sliced veggies for salads, stirfries, wraps, summer rolls. I had fresh romaine and alfalfa sprouts, as well as spicy Asian spiced rice vermicelli, made\u00a0vegan by omitting the fish sauce. \u00a0It was a tasty and light dinner.<\/p>\n

Afterward I had some Ezekial<\/a> toast. I’ve been eating bread for a month now and sniffling for just as long. \u00a0I guess I’ve got a sensitivity to gluten that fills my sinuses, canned soup does the same thing, but it’s so yummy. \u00a0I’ve learned that eating bread keeps an extra 4 pounds on me, but I no longer worry about weight.\u00a0My typical diet is very healthy and unprocessed, so I don’t worry when I eat bread or the random Zero bar.<\/p>\n

A friend who studies the tarot<\/a> has been pulling a daily\u00a0card for morning insight. \u00a0We did a review of the week, noting how the end of each day matched up with the cards pulled earlier for each day. I use a three card spread of Situation, Obstacle, Outcome. \u00a0We laughed at how accurate, in prediction and in retrospect. The Universe loves to play with us, the divine leela<\/a>. My weekend of play begins now!<\/p>\n
