"To Thine Own Self be True, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man."
Inspiration for the the beginning of Induction: Just one day, just a few more hours (til the end of the day).
*******************************************
Random Thoughts: I wasn't really hungry today and was making a lot of phone calls setting up appointments for the week. Breakfast seemed to tide me over well - I ate after I went to the grocery store, going early (around 8:30 am) after some coffee, but not a lot. I didn't want the day to get away from me. In the end, when it came time for lunch, I got out the ingredients and made tuna salad, but then ran out to do another errand without eating it (I didn't want to smell like tuna fish).
Since having tuna sushi, I really have an intense dislike for canned tuna. It's like sawdust. I imagine they sucked the succulent out of the tuna and then put it in a can.
Have you ever gone backpacking with dried foods that are then reconstituted with water in the wilderness? That's what canned tuna tastes like to me. Albacore (white) is okay in a tuna casserole, but that's pretty much hidden by carbs then, so not on my list.
So, I kept going into the kitchen to eat the tuna salad and finish the greek salad (the olives were especially yummy!), but kept getting distracted. I think it was the lack of hunger and the distaste for canned tuna, and not liking salads.
The dressing, tomatoes (nice and red!), cheese and olives made the lettuce tolerable, and I managed to eat both things, but it was dinnertime now. I had a couple of cups of chicken soup broth, homemade, that I was making for Tuesday's lunch, Wed's dinner, and lunches later this week, and that helped me with the fact I had forgotten to thaw the chicken for Monday's dinner.
I bought a flank steak for dinner Tuesday night, so I started it in a marinade. Having started the chicken soup on Monday evening was much better than doing it Tuesday morning, given my Tuesday appointments.
PERSONAL HAZARD (S)- Dislike of tuna salad. Dislike of lettuce. Not being hungry today. Forgetting to thaw dinner.
