ahhh the reconnection
....the reconnection with an old compadre.
oh, its been so long since ive been on here. its nice to be here again. I think that in the past I had such a connection with my live journal because it was a place where i could download everything i was feeling and everything i had on my mind - good or bad. It's been a while and ive been busy with other things, but I think that its time to come back. I may not use this place in the same way as I used to. I'm not quite the same person now as I was 2 years ago. A ton has changed. Ive experienced a lot - seen a lot- felt a lot.
so here I go.
i skipped my boot camp today. I really wanted to stay in. I think i made a good choice. I'm sure i would have felt better if I'd gone, but i just needed to be by myself for a night and rebel for a bit.
I marinated chicken and shrimp and recreated my left over barley rice.
In FACT my barley rice rejuvination is what prompted me to log on today. maybe i just felt spontaneous. i dunno.
I had a long hard day at work. Ive been extremely stressed and really over burdened and i've really felt like ive been buried alive in everything thats piled up. Today I heard something on the radio, and I can't completely remember what it was, but it was along the lines of: "The only way to deal with a tough day is to go through it" so thats what i did. I just barreled down and just did. it was nonstop, dealing with things that i've either put off or work that i couldnt grasp before and i'd put off for so long that i really urgently needed to address. I'm still not all caught up but i did get caught up with enough to make me feel good about the day.
So today I wanted to relax and not be obliged to anything.
I had mushrooms that needed to be made...so after I made my chicken, i used the pan with the pan remnants, chopped half an onion, added the mushrooms. salt/pepper...decided it needed something else...grabbed some white wine and haphazardly poured it in the pan. put the bottle down...looked at it...grabbed a glass, poured myself a glass, let the concoction bubble a little...it was too liquidy so i added the rice to soak it up. added a smidge of chicken stock, stirred and let the tastes marry a bit and that was it.
it was really really really good.
i love spontaneous meal decisions...
and i love that i have chicken and some rice and a glass of wine in front of me.
and with that...
i enjoy the food and relax so i can tackle tomorrow :)
