Thanks for all the well wishes yesterday! I’m still a bit congested, but feeling a lot better than I have been for the last few days. I was glad I had another dentist appointment in the morning, so I was already planning on staying home for the day. Let’s get the show on the road!

Breakfast 7:00 AM
Return of the pancakes made with almond flour! On Monday I got a really nice package from the Almond Board of California full of blanched almonds, almond flour, and individual servings of raw almonds. I was so excited because my almond flour had been out for a few weeks and I was on the verge of buying more!

I also drank a huge glass of orange juice. Orange juice typically turns me off, but yesterday it sounded so good. Don’t tell the Husband I drank some.
After breakfast I took Charlie for a walk, and then it was time for me to go to the dentist. Another tooth drilled = no fun. When I left the dentist, I stopped by Starbuck’s for a mid morning snack around 11:00 because I was already hungry and couldn’t chew for a few hours because my mouth was numb. I stopped by my sister’s house so my mom could cut my hair and I could play with the baby.
When I got home, I got to work outside – stopping, of course, every five minutes to blow my nose. I weeded half of my garden (it took over an hour!), and then planted some vegetables.

Charlie and I enjoyed the 80 degree sunshine!
I was famished by the time my mouth was not numb anymore. I put together a mock Chipotle bowl and was eating when my brother stopped over to visit. We talked for a while, and then he helped me weed the rest of my garden – score!
Snack/Dinner? 5:00 PM
I had to babysit last night, so before I left I drank another glass of orange juice (the Husband is going to be angry when he reads this – ha!) and I ate two pieces of the cinnamon chip bread from Great Harvest – one slice with almond butter and one slice with coconut oil + sea salt (best combo ever.).
When I got home around 10:30, I ate another piece of bread and some chips + hummus.
Such a balanced day… I’m eating more vegetables today.
