Today was kind of rough. I woke up at 4 am and couldn't get back to sleep -- until 7:00 and it was time to get up, then all I wanted to do was sleep. When I got up, I had vertigo really badly. Driving to work, I felt like I was going to fall asleep every time I stopped at a light. I was wondering what I was going to do when I got to work. I finally admitted to myself I had to have some coffee. Contemplating options -- Starbucks is a total no-go for me -- since I absolute can't stomach black coffee. At work there is not sweetener or creamer that I can have, so I made a pit stop at Whole Foods. I went to their coffee counter and had them make a blended coffee with unsweetened almond milk and some unsweetened dark cocoa powder. It wasn't bad, and it woke me up, but of course I had heartburn all day. Then this afternoon I felt like I was going to have a panic attack. By the time I got home at 6:00, I had to have a nap. I intended to lay down for ten minutes and get up and fix dinner, but I slept for an hour and a half.
So I just had the coffee for breakfast. Then I sat on hold with a state office for five hours, afraid to go in the kitchen to get lunch -- only to find out that the state offices weren't open today because of Cesar Chavez day. A little bit of frustration. I did finally run in and grabbed a leftover turkey burger from last night. Then on the way to mechanic shop to get my brakes done, I took half a meclizine, and I swear it seemed like it made the vertigo worse. Oy vey.
When I finally got up at 7:30, I put a NY strip on the grill, roasted some rutabaga, and sauteed some zucchini -- all seasoned with salt, granulated garlic and garlic-chive spread. It was all delicious.
