I am so glad this work week is done. I'm not going to even start explaining, or this will turn into a ranty novel. All I will hint at, is I wish I had noise cancelling headphones while I'm working in my cubicle. And I am thankful that most of my work day is spent out on the floor interviewing patients, reviewing charts, and nagging doctors. (Yes, most of being a case manager involves nagging doctors. But I've become very talented at nagging in a manner that seems like I'm helping, instead of nagging.
Anyways.
I have found 3 new things this week that are wonderful. They are not related. But all amazing.
1. Smoothies. I've found that I don't have time to eat breakfast in the mornings - because racing from my work out to the shower to work...doesn't leave me time to even eat. Maybe if I didn't do my hair and make-up. But then I look like I'm 15 years old. So I busted out our blender, and have made some of the most delicious concoctions every morning. Here are a few combo's I do:
2. White beans and sauce. I'm cutting back on meat consumption. Mostly because I'm too lazy to deal with raw meat when Ryan's not here. It has little to do with health or animals. I am just tired of cooking for myself, and don't feel like touching raw meat...for myself.
So I take canelli beans, 1/2 can tomato sauce, 1 oz can tomato paste, much garlic, S & P.....and it goes great on salads, in wraps, over quinoa, over rice, in a pita. Many options. It's delicious!
3. Albuterol. Long story short -- I haven't been breathing well since December. I finally got an albuterol rescue inhaler. I tried it the other night, and almost made myself pass out from hyperventilating. I was so excited and thrilled to be able to completely inhale & exhale!! People that think doing drugs is cool should try albuterol - now that is some good stuff!

I am all about the meatless meals, too. Meat is expensive and I find the stuff in the grocery stores totally disgusting. I'm all about dishes made with lentils or beans!
And I'm especially happy that you have found some relief for your breathing problem! AWESOME!
