Accomplished. Today’s lunch is Gardennay Fire Roasted Pepper soup, some crudités (as the French would say), an apple and a pear. It’s yummy and I’m looking forward to it.

My big aha moment for this week is that the secret to not starving in the morning (or in fact for most of the day) is Bran Buds cereal. When I have that and yoghurt for breakfast I’m not starving at 10:30, eating my lunch then and then restless and hungry by 4 PM (my personal danger zone). I guess Mr. Fibre really is my friend.

Also a good thing since I have an annoying bladder infection. I spent two (non billable) hours yesterday morning in the walk-in clinic to get some drugs and they seem to be helping. But man, this sucks. I get them periodically and sometimes they just go away and sometimes they don’t. Last time my doctor sternly told me that I should wait to see if they are going to go away but I should take myself immediately to a walk-in clinic. He also told me a horror story about someone who didn’t that I don’t think I need to go into here. Sometimes I think he makes these stories up, but then I guess one’s kidneys are not really something to neglect. So I’m on antibiotics (which I hate) and starting to feel better from the infection but worse from the treatment.

So it goes.

I’ve got a side job tonight doing minutes at a condo’s general meeting. Normally I don’t do this kind of thing, but I quoted a stupid price at them thinking they would turn me down but they were willing to pay. Heck, a bit more money never hurts and it’s good to not have all one’s eggs in the same employer’s basket.
