...to be healthy and got screwed over. Yes, in moving I managed to lose the vital part of my blender that allows me to attach the cup to the base. So this morning I decided I was going to be a healthy sammy and make a fruit smoothie with almond milk...and happily cut up strawberries, a banana, and poured almond milk over the works. I was hoping for some kind of protein thing to make this better but I haven't gotten around to buying anything of the kind yet. Anyway, as I failed to anticipate, I was missing part of my blender, and after getting everything into the cup I went to look for it and it was nowhere to be found.
Now, since my job is rather high stress and I had a rough day yesterday, I am home today on a day off and still slept poorly, have failed many times to keep my cats off the counter, and I am just in general a depressed individual, this attack on my plea for health/veganism crushed me. I fell to the cupboards in tears and later wondered why this made me so upset. I mean, I should have checked for all the parts before even starting, but I was so excited to finally be leading a (somewhat) healthy lifestyle...and by that I mean, starting today (since last night we had some leftover ice cream birthday cake for dinner). To find my hopes dashed must have triggered some kind of mental breakdown.
Following that embarrassing episode (which I have now brashly shared with the internet) I decided to problem solve. I took my fruit and milk, poured it into a bowl, added granola, and warmed it for 30 seconds in the microwave. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed that modge-podge of ingredients. Now I am calm, eating breakfast, and listening to Kimbra (who I desperately wish would release her album "Vows" in Canada), writing this, and feeling not so bad after all.
That is my story for today.
