Rachel Ladies and gentlemen, the Swiss have left the building. Yes, the last Swiss (well, technically second-to-last if you are going in chronological age order, but let’s not be picky) left this morning. S dropped his brother off at the airport at 5am, making me glad that I decided not to spend the night at his place and go with him. I was supposed to go out for dinner with the two of them last night, but his brother didn’t end up getting back from Sacramento until 9pm. I was exhausted from not sleeping Saturday night and then my 16-mile run, so I was NOT going out for dinner at 9pm, going to their place and then getting up at 4am to go to the air port. I don’t think so.
Now just under seven weeks and counting until we leave for Switzerland…
So I stayed at my place and slept alone (sorry JB, not alone… just with a slightly smaller and furrier sleeping buddy than usual), and woke up to early morning meetings, green tea, a clementine and my coffee:
I managed to have a spare half hour in the morning, so did a quick grocery store run. I was completely out of salad, popsicles, and a few other non-negotiable staples. I also picked up some fresh nectarines and blueberries! One of the greatest things about living in San Jose (which is NOT available where I am from…) is having at least 3 grocery stores within a 2 mile radius of my house. I never have any excuse to not have fresh fruits, vegetables, and healthy eats. So lunch was a burger salad with Veggie Patch portabella garlic burger, cheese, egg whites, olive oil and vinegar, and a few olives.
Snacks were cereal and blueberries with cottage cheese/cream cheese pudding (just cottage cheese blended together in the blender with vanilla, a little dollop of cream cheese and some stevia):
For dinner, I had fun inventing my own recipe of chicken cordon bleu for S. It actually turned out pretty good, although it didn’t look that beautiful. S loved it and thought it was delicious, which made me happy. I have to admit, he’s a good eater. I have never made a single thing that he didn’t like, even the crazy recipes that I experiment with and make up. Here’s what it looked like:
For me, it was Veggie Patch spinach bites, steamed broccoli with a cut up string cheese on top, and a bowl of blueberries:
And dessert was a sundae with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, a crumbled crunchy granola bar, and chocolate syrup:
I had my meeting for work, and then night snack before I went to bed was another crunchy granola bar, some bbq pop chips, and a chocolate pudding cup:
I’m going to sleep. S is already sleeping, due to his early morning this morning. I think this is the first time ever he has gone to bed before I have…
