it feels like a monday..

I'm so screwed up. I woke up today with less energy than yesterday. It felt like a Monday to me. I'm having bad dreams again so I'm not sleeping well. This just sucks. I'm nervous to try my grilled goat cheese...hopefully it will be good!

Wish I could say that I worked out, but I didn't. :( Hopefully I won't get another bloody nose tonight so I can get a good workout in and run.

The grilled goat cheese wasn't bad! I'm not sure if I'm ever going to be a huge fan of goat cheese so I think I'd add a little more fig next time and try mozzarella cheese.

Tuesday, and Almost to Vacation!

I am taking off work Thursday and Friday, so this Tuesday isn't so bad with the rest of the work week staring at me.

Amy's lovely Monday

Well the weekend was interesting. I didn't get to play volleyball like I had hoped. Maybe next weekend. But I'm a little mad about why I couldn't play. :( I'm done running outside. Apparently my knee just can't take the pounding anymore. Treadmill it is. I hate treadmills.

Hopefully I'll be able to find some goat cheese tonight so we can try the Grilled Cheese with fig and honey tomorrow for lunch! Sounds interesting......
