The Weeknd

Hi yall!

The thing about the weekend and time off from work in general is I don't know if these periods are a net gain or loss. Let me explain...

You wake up, you go to work, you get off work, you do an activity or you don't and then you go to sleep (repeat). After going through this sequence of events often enough you really get in a grove and don't think about going to work all the time and not being able to sleep in or just lounge or develop some sort of other real purpose or goal. It becomes not that bad and manageable/fine/okay. If you take time off or have weekends, this is when you really realize the fine feeling that is not going to work and time to think about the broader aspects of life. If you take an extended vacation this effect becomes particularly acute and you really get out of the zone. You may feel rejuvenated but you nonetheless recognize there is a difference between being at work every day and not. In any case, it's now the weekend.

So what I was doing was just going on my way home to relax on the couch when I had this idea to go to the store to pick up some things because 1) I am a tad under the weather and 2) my bike recently got stolen so my means of transportation is severely limited given my absence of parking spot and the trouble of finding parking in my area. So then this happened:

I haven't been to the store for groceries in probably four months, so it was something of a curious place to be and at first I was just taking in the nature of the human condition and studying the sheeple as they grazed. People were in a real rush to get where they were going and purchase their things. My purchases were focused on assessing the status of the health game which is one of the things I want to address here in the new year. Also, needed to get self back to health so wanted to maximize fruit type items. First group of items purchased:

This group of

This first group of items are really what I term my "staples" over the weekend. We've got some main dishes in the wraps that you see (thai and italian) and some sides (egg salad, and peanut butter pretzels). All these items address both goals mentioned above in that they are healthy (they are from trader joe's) but mostly just address having real solid food on hand when hunger rears its ugly head. We all know how that goes..

Second group is clearly and obviously about the health game. We've got smoothies, fruit, and yogurt. Lots of vitamins and minerals here so should be back in tip-top shape on Monday for work. 

This is the last item I bought, just some soap from TJ's because I heard that this soap is organic and better for you because my skin is sometimes sensitive to the harsh chemicals that is in the regular soap. Hope this stuff makes my skin 1) more soft and 2) healthier.

Well that's all I really got. Mostly just trying to talk about life and explore issues that come up and that I can teach lessons so you guys don't have to make the same mistakes.
