I was having a stretching session with my trainer yesterday, and she was asking me about my diet. The best I could say was: “It could be worse.” She gave me a mini-lecture about eating healthier foods. I know I should be eating healthier than I am, but I just can’t seem to get it together.

She did inspire me to eat a salad last night for dinner though. I had a bag of salad that was best by February 12, and some tomatoes and cheese and sunflower seeds. And nasturtium flowers from my garden!

It was a good healthy dinner. But I also had some leftover pizza, so in the end, it wasn’t as healthy as it could have been.

I took a sick day yesterday and rested at home. Besides resting, I tried to eat and drink and take medicine. I made a breakfast of eggs and toast even! I never do that! When I eat eggs and toast, it’s usually for dinner.

By evening, I felt rested, but still a little weak whenever I stood up. Hopefully it’s been enough rest. I’ll be heading back to school today for our field trip to see a play.

We had our spring musical last night. It went well. Good job, students!

I stayed through after school rather than driving home and back again. I decided to treat myself to a steak dinner at Outback. It was busy, so the host suggested that I sit at the bar. That was fine with me so I sat.

But then the people next to me started talking. First it was three ladies, then a man by himself. Then a couple sat next to me and were also kind of talky. Under different circumstances I might’ve liked it, but I was expecting to have a quiet dinner of looking at my phone.

I ordered a steak. It was pretty good. But next time, I think I’ll ask for a booth.

I don’t ever wash my coffee cup or my coffee maker carafe at school. Over the years, they have built up a lovely patina. I call it “seasoning”, like in a cast iron pan. The residue of past brewings adds depth of flavor.

My coworker Kayleigh saw it and was grossed out. She told me she was going to sneak in some time and wash them. Heh.

Over the long weekend, she did it. Ha!

They are so clean and sparkly now! The class of the coffee carafe is particularly dazzling. So pretty! I was not able to make any coffee yesterday, so I can’t speak to the absence of the “seasoning”. I do not have a particularly discriminating palate when it comes to coffee, though, so I’m sure it will be great.

After working at school, I got carryout for lunch/dinner yesterday. I went to an Italian place. I don’t eat Italian very often. I know this might sound weird, but I don’t like pasta very much. I got got lasagna. It was a gigantic piece:

It looked bigger in real life than in the picture.

It was so… good… But I didn’t eat it all. I saved some for another time.
