random thoughts – Day 1,823 – (Friday) – bread and veggies

It was a week of workdays that felt long, but the week’s project/task list was 99% completed by the end of the workday today, which felt good. The carryover items were pieces currently in outside production and more of a reminder for myself to make sure they arrive.

Grilled veggie sub.

Maybe it’s the closeness to spring, but today, I was hungry like a bear that hadn’t eaten in months. The day began with toast. Lunch was half of Thursday’s night remaining veggies and chicken in a spicy butter chicken curry sauce. It was delicious and seemed filling, but a couple hours later, I was hungry again and for a mid-afternoon snack, ate the rest of it. Then, a mere1.5 hours later, I was hungry again and thinking about dinner. 

After several days of meals heavy on broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, onion, and carrots, it was time for a change of ingredients and free of personal labor. The preferred pizza purveyor was contacted and within 40 minutes, there was a grilled veggie and cheese sub delivered. Yes, it was some of the same veggies eaten all week, but the grilling, tomato, lettuce, mayo, and the loaf of bread it was jammed into, plus the fact I didn’t have to cook it, made it feel special.

The plan was to eat half the sub and save the rest for Saturday lunch. It didn’t work out like that.

After eating half the sub, I still felt hungry like a bear coming out of hibernation. The remainder was unwrapped and in no time at all, was gone. It always amazes me that I would never just sit and chow down on a full loaf of bread, but stuff it with some veggies and cheese, and I can make a foot-long bread loaf disappear in minutes. So weird.
