...sitting in my living room surrounded by mounds of clothing in a half-hearted attempt to do some "spring cleaning." I moved everything to the front room because when you live in a big apartment by yourself...you'll do just about anything to not feel like you're the only one living there. The bigger mess I create, the more "lived in" it feels.
This is why I hate cleaning when you're single.
It leaves so much space for nothing. Absolutely nothing.
In college, it was a different story. I cleaned my room (partly because I had to...I was at a military college), but space was precious commodity there - so cleaning was an incentive to create as much room for myself as I almost always shared a room in the dorms. I'm even thankful that each of my roommates were kind enough to let me sleep on the bottom bunk (I have a bad habit of rolling around and off the bed). Still, the beds were pretty high up and I've incurred the wrath of the tiling on several occasions. But at least it was a clean floor!
I admit. I got a little off-topic.
Sooooo...you want to know what I ate for dinner tonight? Probably not. But I'm going to tell you. So you can click away if you want.
2 White Cheddar Rice Cakes, a special K-bar and a single serving of "natural" applesauce.
Mmmm...not.
I was actually not hungry. But I'm trying to find a balance as I've been reduced to gorging myself at one meal (usually lunch) because I'm unmotivated to do anything but sleep when the day ends. Dinner is not appealing to me. Breakfast is not a priority.
I know better. Trust me. I have 2 degrees that should say different. But it's the motivation that's the key to this. I have the knowledge. I just don't have the motivation.
Moving on.
I had some turkey sausage that I knew was going to go bad this week if I didn't use it. I personally, have never tried turkey sausage. In my ignorance, it sounded like a healthy idea. But I don't like any sausage...I don't know why I bought it. Guilt trip induced, impulse buy?
I started to scour the internet for ideas. I tried to stick to one recipe, but I got distracted by blinking links and high-res food photography - at least the end product is still edible! Fortunately, I have yet to create a complete disaster....
It's okay. I actually really like the rice (I've realized I could care less for turkey sausage). But the rice has a nice kick.
This started out as 1 recipe...evolved into several...and ended up not even following a damn thing any of them had to say.
