So Close, Yet So Far Away

I am very disappointed because Obama and Biden are in Orlando today, and I can't go to the rally!  Doors open at 3 PM and the rally starts at 6 PM.  I considered asking my boss if I could leave work early.... but with these impending deadlines, it's just not a wise career move! If any locals want details, let me know!

 

Onto my eats for the day....

 

For my mid-morning snack, I had a bowl of grapes + a few almonds.  We're really low on groceries!

And for lunch, I made a chicken + pickle sammie.

My sammie contained:

 

  • 2 oz. of grilled chicken, chilled and chopped into small pieces
  • 1 pickle, chopped
  • 1 small carrot, grated
  • 1/2 tablespoon mustard

The mixture tasted soooo delicious on two slices of toasted WW bread. YUM!

 

On the side, I intended to have a sliced plum tomato, but it was squishy and tasted funny, so I tossed it.

And for dessert, I had some homemade trail mix: more almonds, raisins, and peanuts:

Motivational Quote of the Day

 

"Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential."

 

Guess who said THAT little gem?
