random truths – Day 1,084 (Monday) – content

The Sunday panic shopping included a package of Portuguese sweet muffins from Ocean State Job Lots. The grocery department there has a lot of cool stuff like the jam made by the Trappist Monks and coffee I don’t see anywhere else. And the Portuguese sweet muffins and bread.

Breakfast!

This morning, before work and because the sweet muffins were on the counter, one was toasted and buttered for breakfast. It was delicious. Fortifying. 

Oddly, despite the breakfast that was more substantial than the usual granola bar, I was hungry by 11:00. The kind of hungry where my stomach was making embarrassing loud rumbly noises and I was worried that the colleague at the desk next to mine could hear it.

Lunch was microwaved leftover grilled chicken breast with roasted cauliflower and broccoli pulled from the freezer right before dashing out the door. It was less satisfying than breakfast. The chicken was dry, but it took only three minutes from deciding to eat lunch and actually eating lunch, so speed was a clear benefit and I was content with that.

Sometimes, contentment is a simple as a toasted sweet muffin and lunch that is ready in a flash.
