quiet day, well except for the thunder… and the rain… 

this was the sky in two directions around ten this morning…

dark and brooding toward the west…

but it looked like it was clearing to the east… not true, lol… rained off and on all day…

my lunch included the last of a bbq grocery store chicken… bought it about a week ago and have been eating it since then… made dinners, a few work lunches, and some meals over the weekend… a friend who has had a difficult year talked about how she had lived on these for months on end as it was a healthy option that didn’t involve a great expenditure of energy to produce…

my goal for the last year and a half has been to ensure there are veggies at every meal… so for this lunch I made gazpacho… pretty happy with how many vegetables I got into it… celery, sad grape tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions, mini peppers and basil from the (very wet!) deck… tasty…

chose outfits and packed my bag… hoping I have enough cool clothes as apparently it is very warm in Atlanta… 

yesterday I picked up a top and couple of pairs of shorts to add to the mix…

barely taking anything that is purple… still need to find something in case it is cold…
