Bring in Breath with Inspiration

I woke this morning with a little anxiety in my belly. It was only 6:45am, but I had a feeling I was late for something or at least I should have been up -- working hard on one of my many to-dos. I was able to lie there and listen to the mediocre radio station I have on my clock radio and just breathe. It was also a great chance to give some kitty love and put things into perspective.

For one thing, no, I do not HAVE to be anywhere right now. I don't have class until 2:10pm today and if I am efficient and productive there's PLENTY of time to get things done.

As I type I am eating one of the best breakfasts I've had in weeks. Actually, I am going to take a break and really enjoy this...





All right, now.

I got home from rehearsal last night and whipped up some sauteed veggies with pesto and poured it over some leftover shell pasta. The CSA veggies box from last week was chock-full of goodness so I pulled some swiss chard, carrots and then some conventional onions and mushrooms that had in my very unorganized fridge. When I got up this morning to feed the cats, I saw that I left everything out when I went to sleep last night. It was much easier to just USE the veggies than put them away. That and I don't think I have a clean plastic container since they are all dirty and sitting in my bulging sink.

So, I reheated the veggies, added two eggs, and some parmesan cheese and threw a flour tortilla in the toaster oven. Bing! I gots myself a Pesto Breakfast Burrito. Shazam!

I would prefer to think about lunch, but I must tend to my to-do's. Since my list is mostly in my head, let me be a little more proactive, and write it (well, type it) out.

-- mail my taxes
