Windy Monday

Non-traditional Breakfast

As expected, I didn't get much sleep at all. Once it was dark, and the curtains and blinds were closed tight, I turned on the night light down the hall and crawled into bed. I read until 11 and turned the lamp off. I dozed in and out and woke every hour. I got up at 2:30 to pee, at around 6 to pee and once it started getting light out I finally slept. And didn't get up until 8:45.

I was hungry and had a few raspberries while deciding what I wanted to eat. Not that there are tons of options but because I was in between eggs and bacon and Chicken Bacon Rice bowl. I browned two stripes of bacon in the pan and could have dumped in the eggs but opted for the chicken cauli. I needed it.  I heated a bowl and put the fresh bacon on top along with avocado. It was exactly right. I finished an episode of Cedar Cove as I ate.

Leftover lunch

After the kitchen was cleaned I headed on up to the office for the day. I had a good bit to get done. The wind picked up right around 11:30, as the news predicted, and sure enough we had some serious gusts, they were saying around 50mph. This meant that I had to close the windows because the blinds were clanking so loud. I started getting hungry around 2:15 and took a late lunch break to heat a leftover stuffed burger. I watched half of Grey's Anatomy while I ate and then back up to work.

I was done for the day at 4:30. I finished up Grey's and showered before it was time to leave for a LuLaRoe party.  I've been hearing about these clothes, especially their leggings with comfy shirts, so thought I'd go. It was at an old coworker's house in Louisville so didn't take long to get there. This was only Halloween leggings so it was a fast trip. I tried on the two sizes that they have, a Tall & Curvy and a One Size. Both fit well. The One Size would be great for Zumba as they are a bit more fitted but a hair shorter. I went with the Tall & Curvy for a little extra wiggle room and a bit longer. I can't wait for the next show on the 28th to try dresses and shirts. I'm ready to try some daring patterns mixing.

Cheesy bacon burger soup

I got home just after 7 and changed into my pajamas, because it's pitch dark already, and guzzled some water from my awesome tumbler. I waited until 8 to start The Voice so I could blast through the commercials. That DVR is worth every cent.

I decided to make this low carb cheesy bacon burger soup for dinner and hopefully leftovers. I've been eyeing this recipe for a while and happened to have all ingredients ready to go. It was late by the time it was done, around 8:30 so I ate while loving on the Voice battles. And wow that recipe is great. It is a great substitute for potato soup and will certainly be a staple this winter.
