Food goodness

Last night we ate mexican and I had high-calorie chicken enchiladas, rice, and beans. Oh and fried ice cream, which I am now embarassed to have to report to my nurse. But mnn yummy.

Last night I had strange, fragmented dreams and had to go to the bathroom way too many times, so I'm now getting to feeling a bit tired out. In most of the dreams I was looking for a baby, but it wasn't clear which one - just that I'd lost it. But in the last dream I wasn't pregnant any more, and I woke up panicked that the baby had died. I got a few swift kicks as a definite no.

One of the best things about having to eat and living in this neighbourhood is that it's so easy to get good stuff. This morning I went down and got a loaf of sunflower seed bread and two muffins hot out of the oven (mine was lemon cranberry). There is a reportedly very good bakery in Guildwood, but it is probably a 25 minute walk there and then 25 minutes back. Not quite the same as nipping out at 7:25 for a muffin. Although this will be a good thing for my weight at that time, so there you go.

(My dreams of getting my own car are hitting financial reality and I doubt that will happen too soon, unless something changes like an unexpected bonus somewhere for a solid down payment. Part of that is that I'm picky: I want, if possible, a Jetta TDI wagon, so that I can use biodiesel later and diesel now (although I may look at other things). We have a Civic sedan that's almost 5 yrs old now; it works fine, but it's a standard, which I hate to drive. I've never adjusted to the standard which is - pathetic, but true. I can drive it if I have to but I feel stressed all the way wherever. It doesn't help that Carl mostly drives it to work anyway. So much for the cool sports car driver; I wouldn't like the stick!)

Then for dinner I needed tomatoes for a tomato-chickpea salad. When I got to the store I was suddenly inspired and also got artichoke hearts, olives, and green onion. Well more accurately Lyria did. So now I have a decadent chickpea salad, to go with our pork souvlaki skewers. Yummy.
