3 Days of Freedom

I woke up this morning feeling like today was going to be hard. I didn't want to get out of bed, and even made myself late for no damn good reason at all. Just procrastinating, because I didn't want to go. Work has been pretty easy going lately. I don't know why I was feeling like that. I'm just ready for a little break, I guess. I managed to pull myself out of whatever rut I'd fallen into. There's no good reason why I should be feeling down in the dumps. It's nice having a little positivity to tap into. I just have to get through tomorrow, then it's 3 days of freedom.

I made myself some comfort food for dinner. I used to love franks and beans when I was a kid (baked beans with sugar in them, and cut up hot dog pieces). It may not sound like fine cuisine, but it was something I used to make myself when my parents weren't home. I felt like having that tonight. So, I bought some organic, vegetarian baked beans (Amy's, of course) and some Lightlife veggie dogs. I warmed the beans, grilled the veggie dogs on the stove, add a generous amount of coconut sugar... SO GOOD. I paired it with one of my favorite Amy's vegan mac and cheese dinners as well. So much tasty comfort. I'm not above admitting that food is a comfort to me, and right now since I'm missing my kids, I'm comforting a little more than I normally would!

I also threw together some vegan/gluten free carrot banana muffins with vanilla frosting and sucanat sprinkles on top. They're so moist and soft, and tasty. I think they'll be even better tomorrow after they've had time to set a little over night. I prefer them room temperature over warm. Snookums liked them too. I love it when my "alternative" foods are a win.

I need to be cutting this short tonight and heading off to bed. Once again, my nocturnal nature will mean not getting as much sleep as I should. So, off to bed I go.
