So for Thursday's Recap- I had the same as Wednesday, an egg sandwich with mini sausages and cuties. (I'm so adventurous aren't I?!) I didn't bother taking pictures because why would you want to see the same thing over again?
I had the left over breakfast sandwich from Panera from the day before for lunch. I added a tablespoon of TJ's Jalapeno Pub cheese and it added a little kick to the sandwich. I brought lettuce for a salad with me but I wasn't feeling it. As I said, not the best day for me.
Here's the adventurous part of my day. I ended up staying an hour overtime to catch up on some things at work and when I got home, I made this quick cook bean soup. It was a mix I bought at Nugget and I used their recipe as a guideline but I ended up doing my own thing. I added one very large onion diced fine, 2 diced carrots, 2 diced celery stalks (I ate the rest of it, hey it was 0 points and I was starving!), garlic (I am Italian you know!), and a can of tomato sauce (instead of pushing tomatoes through a sieve like the directions said, who does that?!) and probably twice the amount of chicken broth they called for (2 boxes). It took a lot longer than they said for it to cook but it tasted pretty good. I don't think I like the black eyed peas in it though. They took way longer to cook than the rest of the smaller beans/lentils/grains so they stayed a little crunchy in the soup. Luckily there aren't many of them, but if they were out of the mix, I'd like it a WHOLE lot better! It's 4 pp for 10 servings, and since I was too tired to measure, I'm guessing that's more than a cup because it was a huge pot and that pot usually makes 12 cups with less in it. So I'm counting 4 pp but having more of it. I'm sure it'll be filling. I didn't end up eating that for dinner though because I was hungry before then, so I reheated the other 1/2 of those killer sweet potato gnocchi and picked on those while I was cooking. After that, I crashed. I was too tired, but hey, for the first time in I don't know how long, I slept through the night. 
Okay after that throw-up of words, onto Friday. Work was much better. I think I got all of my frustrations out the day before so I feel better. Breakfast was similar to the 2 days before except I got this sourdough whole wheat bread from TJ's. I toasted a slice and put 1 tablespoon of the pub cheese on it then the egg on top of that. It was SOOO good! I am a sourdough nut. This was dry, but good for toast which I have bread for anyway.
I went for another walk around 10:30. It was nice to get some fresh air. Then had my morning snack of 2 cheddar cheese squares and TJ's social snackers. I have some small trays that used to belong to my grandmother. Each one looks different, and I just thought they were really neat. They definitely remind me of my childhood!
I had a bowl of the bean soup for lunch and I'm happy to say that the black eyed peas softened up overnight. I also had a 1/2 pineapple sausage and salad. I added my mandarins to the salad to make it more than just lettuce. I just freeking love my new plate! You'll begin to learn how much of a Disney geek I am!
When I got home I saw blooms on our plum tree. Oh joy, allergy season is starting early! Yay for me! I must say though, it's very pretty at this time of the year.
After taking a long time to clean up my mess, I watched my nexflix movie, Despicable Me. WAY WAY WAY better than I thought it'd be. It was really cute! Definitely going to get when it's on sale. Well that's it from me for this post.
