Trying to keep it positive

Well, where to I start ~ let me go back to yesterday for a minute. I was fussing about wanting one of those glazed coffee rolls, well I got a toasted corn muffin with butter instead later in the afternoon. I really didn't have a filling lunch so to counter that I will bring an extra fruit or yogurt to work with me.

Last night ~ I had fun cooking on a work night! I spent part of this morning trying to find the recipe, but here are the basics: 2-4 leeks, 6 thick cut strips of bacon, 2/3 cup bisquick mix, 4 eggs, 1 cup of milk, pepper. 325 oven. 9 inch glass/pyrex pie plate lightly greased. cook bacon. cut up leeks, saute for 5 minutes. Put leeks and bacon in bottom of pie plate. beat 4 eggs together then add in bisquick, milk, pepper. I add 3/4 to 1 cup jarlsberg swiss cheest to the batter. Then pour the batter over leeks and bacon. Bake in over for 45 minutes.

It is good! and I had some quinoa and veggies along with it. It is easy. The only time consuming thing is doing the leeks and bacon. And I had a yogurt for dessert.

Walking: Really have the subway station where I switch from the G to the 7 has become a walking opportunity for me. The mornings I walk from Queensboro Plaza to Court Sq. on the G and at night I get off the G a stop early and walk back 2 stops to Vernon Jackson on the 7. In the evening especially switching from the G to the 7 I catch the twilight. The moon is just coming up, I can see Venus just before the sky turns to night - and I get to see the Empire State Building which I like to check out every evening on my way home - just see what color it is. I am hoping at the day get longer I can watch the shifting twilight on one of my walks home. I am also considering get off the 7 a couple stops early at night for a little extra walk, especially as the days get longer.

So, now we get to today - work is freaking me out a little - 2 people who I asked to help me today aren't in as of 12:30pm. I have to set up powerpoint and lap tops for a meeting tomorrow and I am not all that tech savy. I keep telling myself things will work out okay. I have a plan C and D. While my first reaction is to go to that panicked place - I keep repeating "things will be okay" and I can back away from the panic and be more calm.

I emailed my doctor about follow up from my appointment. Slowly, slowly, step by step.
