Before I get into too much I figured I’d tell you all what happened last night.
After I blogged, I ended up doing some arm, shoulder and ab strength training. I got ready for bed shortly after and decided to look at my poor toenail that was hanging by a thread. Lo and behold, I discovered that a new toenail had already grow in under the older toenail. I guess that all started happening when I started marathon training because it had apparently been lifting off the nail bed for a while. I was extremely happy about this. This meant I could cancel my podiatry appointment, wear toenail polish this summer and not have a jacked looking toe for the rest of my life. So I proceeded to take the old toenail off. I got it 99% of the way off and realized the right side was still attached deep into the cuticle bed. I then proceeded to be even more bull headed and poked and prodded on my toe for over an hour. With no such look of having it budge, I decided to stop.
I headed to bed and fell asleep by 10:30, only to wake up at 1 a.m. with a throbbing, pulsating pain in my toe that I had worked on. Being even more stubborn, I decided the only solution was to work on it some more and get that last part out of my skin. After another hour of nothing, I sat there and just cried. What had I done to myself? I wrapped it with a bandaid and tried to lay back down and sleep. After a long while of it throbbing, I guess my finally was exhausted enough to fall back asleep. So needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep last night and my toe still hurts majorly. I spoke with one of our doctors at work today who has run several marathons and he even looked at my toe and said it looks like it is infection free and that I just need to keep it covered and let the new nail push that part of the old nail out. No running until that happens though! So I was just completely exhausted from last night. Me and my stubborn self, all my fault. My mind immediately went to seeing my toe having to be amputated, all because of me being so head strong. Thankfully it is already feeling better and I’m keeping my hands off. So pray for a quick and speedy recovery and no infection. I’ve definitely learned my lessons from all this toe drama.
Alright… onto the rest of the day. We had an afternoon nurses reception and they had much better choices to eat than this morning’s reception.
Fountain flowing of chocolate? Yes, please and thank you.
Lots of cream filled puff pastries and mini cheesecakes. Glad I don’t care for either two.
Lot of cheeseballs, cracker, hummus, pimento sandwiches, veggie wraps and veggies.
Veggie Bruschetta
My plate of goods.
I ended up not eating but one veggie wrap because they were so dry. I loved everything else though and might have had a few spoonfuls of chocolate too. Because that’s how I roll.
Hence the reason I am completely not hungry for dinner tonight.
I biked home in some hot, humid, muggy, 80 degree weather and was extremely excited to open our refrigerator and see this.
And then I saw this on the counter! All free stuff from Kraft foods.
Ok, onto the big blue box which is NOT from Kraft foods.
It’s from the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) that we joined this year. We’ve been interested in joining a food co-op and thought it was the perfect opportunity when some of our friends from church decided to start their own with a farm they bought just a few miles away from Louisville in New Albany, Indiana.
For 26 weeks we will be receiving fresh fruits and veggies at our doorstep. This was our first week and we couldn’t wait to see our goods. We believe this is a great way to continue to eat organically for a fraction of the cost of what it would cost to buy at the store and support our local farmers, or in this case, friends who are breaking out into this venture.
Radishes.
Pok Choy. (Not Bok Choy)
Scallions.
A bag of various lettuce mix for salads or what not.
All of the organic, perfect goodness. Fresh from the earth!
I can’t wait to dig in. The first few weeks will be a lot of spring, lettuce mixes but I can’t wait to watch our boxes grow as the season matures! I’ll definitely be eating things I’ve never tried before or that we’ve never cooked at home. It’s going to be a fun 26 weeks!
We also will be receiving a dozen farm fresh eggs every 3 weeks as well. We had the option of a weekly dozen but we definitely don’t eat eggs that often so I think every three weeks will be just right. And who knows, we might be receiving fresh chicken to be cooked too! We’re extremely excited about this opportunity. You can count on me definitely sharing all of this new knowledge with you as we jump on this venture.
I decided I needed a little fruit to balance out all the carbs and chocolate I ate today to cap me off for the night.
I’m perfectly content now. I’ve showered, packed the lunch for work tomorrow and will definitely be in bed and chilled out way before my 10 o’clock bedtime goal! Hope you had a happy hump day!
Have you ever joined a CSA? Do you prefer to go to the farmer’s market during the season or just shop at the store?
