I Walk In This World

Morning everyone.

We leave for New England today! 

Our trip includes…

• driving to MA, staying at a B&B
• driving up along VT/NH border, staying at a B&B (visiting maple sugar & cheese farms too)
• driving over from NH thru the lake district of Maine, drop down to Portland, stay 1 night
• drive up to Bar Harbor, say at a B&B 3 nights (celebrate anniversary + do cool things)
• drive back down to Portland, stay 2 nights
• drive home

I am so excited!!  I haven’t had a vacation since our honeymoon to Costa Rica 1 year ago.  This should be a great time together.  Hubz and I love to do all the same things (we’re queer like that), so we travel really well together. 

Breks was one an oatmeal/banana pancake with nutella + maple nuts in honor of our trip, a faux sausage patty, and the very last remnants of our berries.  All produce has now  been consumed.

All that’s left to do is pack up the car and GO!  I plan to do some pub/restaurant reviews while vacationing, and will be blogging daily, hopefully.  We’ll see how tired I am from hiking and beers.

Last night I was up late again, but packing this time around was much calmer.  Of course this was after taking a sedative and suffering the first anxiety attack I’ve had in months.  When that happens, I am reminded that I am crazy in the brains.  Boo.

Hubz was politicking so I was solo for dinner.  Just more cleaning out the fridge fun.

• rotini with Dad’s marinara + portabellas + ground turkey (ew)
• last sad bits of salad + cukes + carrot + peas + maters + peanuts + Goddess dressing
• last bits of the delish cheese garlic bread from the dinner party Saturday

I watched Housewives of NJ, my new fav trash show, whilst eating.  Hubz came home and joined me.  I had to Pause the TV to Explain all the Drama so he could Understand What was Going on.  Oh my gah…he doesn’t read my blog too often, so it’s unlikely he’ll know I’m totz ratting him out.  Drama lovah!

I did 2.1 miles running at the gym + every possible arm weight/dumbell lifts imaginable.

Work pressures started the anxiety today, mostly b/c I had a bunch of things to wrap up and then had to assign my responsibilities over to coworkers to handle while I’m gone.  Bah.

Lunch was leftover tandori chicken + lentils and leftover whole wheat naan.  This was great to eat, but later really ripped my tummy apart.  This made me oh so sad.  Weird, cuz I adore curries.  Hm.  It was probz the stress.

For all you peeps still in college, enjoy every tiny second of it.  Real life with a real job, family, etc are so demanding and stressful at times.  And in a very different way than the pressures of academia.  I’m just so glad I Lived It Up in college.  Cuz it’s kinda hard out here!

Swenyway, we gotta go now.  I’ll be blog reading when I have time.  Y’all be good!

Ciao,

Er
