WIS, WWA | to walk or to blog? Hmm.

I had a appointment this morning, and before it, I had time to do one of two things:

  • walk
  • write a blog post

Wet log covered in moss.

And since it was a lovely sunny morning, I chose to walk.

So, that is why this post is going up so late!

I do usually try to write my posts a day ahead of time, but sometimes life gets in the way of that. 

It’s funny; I have been blogging for almost 15 years now, and I still sort of have this idea in my head that one day, I will be very organized and write lots of posts way ahead of time.

But here I am, 14+ years later, mostly blogging by the seat of my pants.

We could call it “just in time” blog post delivery. 😉 

What I Spent

I spent $28 on takeout, and that’s it. I really will grocery shop again once I have a rental! 

What We Ate 

I did pretty much no cooking this week.

I did schoolwork and lots of house-hunting, but no cooking, except for making lunches for myself.

Once we get settled into a rental that all will change. 🙂 I will actually cook again!

Saturday

My mom made a chickpea/butternut squash curry, which we ate over rice.

We had a green salad on the side (and a fruit salad, which you can see in the background of the picture above.)

Sunday

We had a rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes (using the bag of free potatoes that I got at Safeway a little while back) and broccoli, plus some fruit. 

Monday

Leftover rotisserie chicken turned into chicken and biscuits. And we had a salad on the side.

Tuesday

I went to look at a rental while Zoe was at her class, and I got a little $6 kid’s bowl at Mezeh too, since I wasn’t very hungry. 

Wednesday

My mom made some vegetarian burritos, filled with black beans, butternut squash, onions, peppers, cilantro, and cheese.

Thursday

Umm, it was a two-Mezeh night this week! We had a schedule mixup, and I got Zoe to her evening class way too early. So, we took a detour and I got her a Firehouse sub and myself a Mezeh bowl. 

Friday 

I think my mom is making some wings and rice tonight. Will we have a green salad? LIKELY.

What did you have for dinner this week? 

P.S. In case you have missed recent posts and are wondering, “What’s all this about a rental?”, here’s a post explaining my current situation.

Seeing the Corelle plates with that design is so comforting. Thatโ€™s the same pattern I grew up with.

Iโ€™m glad to hear that youโ€™re making time for yourself. I also find it oddly reassuring that you make your blog posts last minute. Itโ€™s probably why they feel so personal, you share whatโ€™s going on without over-planning or orchestrating it. It also give me hope for getting into a more consistent schedule for my posting.

Thanks for keeping it real, even when real is hard.

I do often write them right before I publish them. Or maybe the night before. I always aspire to get ahead with blogging, but it never seems to happen. Ha.
