Woke up with KILLER headache that won't stop. Took drugs.
Drove kids to dentist, took more drugs but without relief.
Drove kids to school. Came home. Got into hot bath in attempt to get rid of headache. Water wasn't hot enough and then remembered couch was supposed to be delivered any minute so had to get out of tub. Headache remained.
Couch arrived, a thing of beauty. It is big. I like it.
Had soup for lunch.
Drank water. Have started this new "plan" and I am supposed to drink 6 of my water bottles every day, not drink any beverages over 50 calories (no wine, no lattes) and follow this somewhat flexible meal plan. It is now 6:00 and I have drank 1.5 bottles. Drink up!! All in the name of fat loss. Pondered whether this is worth it and ate a cookie. Excellent start to the plan.
Worked. Became extremely stressed out. My office is a reflection of my brain this week... cluttered, stuff everwhere and I can't find a flipping thing. Except for my water bottle.
Picked up kids. Made a coffee. Can't have a latte so attempted to use less milk, more hot water. Need to get stella to tell me how to make a cafe misto.
Worked more. Wrung hands in stress several times. Put head to hands 3x. Took more drugs for same stupid headache.
Bit off hubby's head on the phone... didn't mean too but stress and pain are getting to me. He was nice about it. He knows that I am going nutty at the moment.
Am now going to drive around trying to find a book about the movie happy feet. Feel stressed and head still hurts. Blech. Tomorrow will be better. Hopefully.

"Food bears the signature of God's grace. It is the fruit of the web of life that clothes our globe in such beauty... a steady diet of gratitude keeps us awake in God's economy of grace. It invites us to make choices that allow all to have a place at the banquet and the web of life to flourish."

No Good! Gross day!
Americano Misto:
2 shots of espresso (or 4 if you're me :)
steamed milk,
boiling water.
Espresso in, fill half the rest of the way with boiling water, the other half up with steamed milk :-).
YAY for the couch!! Can't wait to see it! Can you post a pic?!? Maybe of you sipping an AM while on the couch, wearing a T-shirt that says "ABA OR BUST" I think looking at that would make you smile later on. Because it would contain a) The excellent new couch, b) coffee, and c) Nerdy ABA humor. All good things.
