Two for the slow...

Two for holiday family gatherings...

Two for my fellow DA's...

my simplified pleasures...

I just devoured the most amazing turkey sandwich. It. Was. Life. Altering.

- Whole Wheat Bread (toasted, of course)
- Hummus (made from scratch… on both faces… yay-ya!)
- Turkey
- Provolone
- Sliced Roma Tomatoes (freshies!)
- Red Onion (Freshies!!)
- Green Leafy Lettuce (FRESHIES!!!!)

Last night McMurdo Station received its first plane load of fresh produce in 3 weeks. I never thought I would crave fresh fruits and veggies sooo much. Frightening.

After lunch I made a second sandwich, debated cramming it into my overstuffed belly, then wrapped it up for an afternoon snack.

The Crud

Ahhh… da’ crud, da’ CRUD!

Here I am… it’s my one day off for the week and I’m saddled with the crud. ‘The crud’ being McMurdo jargon for the flu/cold that plagues everyone at some point during the season. It spreads like wildfire in the close quarters.

Despite washing my hands obsessively, until they are raw and cracking, I’m feeling the affects of the crud… achy muscles, chest and sinus congestion, the works…

Grudgingly, I’ve decided to allow my body some rest. Danza, a good buddy of mine, and Miss Joy, my favorite Thursday playmate, are out on the Armitage Loop, running and skate-skiing, respectively. Me, I’m planning on laundry, vacuuming, napping, reading, emailing and blogging.

HA… I said blogging.
