I ate something healthy last night! Yay! Good job, Brad! I had a salad. It had a special ingredient, too – nasturtium flowers from my garden.:

Nasturtiums taste kind of like radishes, so they go great with salads.

This morning I left for the 8th Grade trip to DC and New York. We met at the airport at 4:15am. Yikes! But that’s MUCH better than the alternative – a redeye flight on Friday, ending with a busy first day on Saturday. No, thanks! I don’t want to start the trip tired like that.

Unfortunately, I’m starting the trip tired anyway. It has been a busy last couple of weeks. Whew! I think I’m looking forward to these packed-to-the-minute days that start early and end late, so that I can relax a little.

From having gone on a similar trip last year, I’ve found that one of my struggles is hunger – I get hungry at odd times during the day. I’m prepared this year. I got a bunch of snacks!

My picture won’t load, but it shows: peanut M&M’s, Sweet&Salty almond granola bars, trail mix, and cashews. I guess I like nuts.

Prayers would be appreciated. There are a LOT of moving parts to this trip, and middle schoolers are sometimes unpredictable.

When I got home from church last night, I wanted a snack. I had a several avocados ripening on the counter top, so I cut up TWO! Wow! Eating two avocados at one time? It was like I was a rich person or something!

They were perfectly ripe. Mmm…

This is a busy week. I have evening commitments Monday through Friday. Yesterday was only Tuesday, but I was already feeling it. When I stopped at the grocery store to get something for chapel this morning, I saw some big, beautiful artichokes, so I got some.

I had one for dinner. It was delicous.

It was a little hard to scrape the leaves with my teeth, because the bottom front ones are missing. I sort of had to bite with the side of my mouth.

I had a relaxing day yesterday. I got a massage! It was actually my second time there. I should post about that some time, but I didn’t take a picture. Man, did I feel good afterward though.

In the evening, I was having some delightful couch time, and had a favorite meal – peanut butter and chocolate chips. It’s good protein, I’m sure. And the chocolate chips have antioxidants I think. Practically health food!
