What I’m Eating:
Enough leftovers to construct me a leftover-tasting expert. I’ve decided that grad schoolhouse is 3 times the run as well as 2 times the stress of undergrad (and I took 17 units most every semester!), which agency I rarely demand maintain the fourth dimension to whip upwards anything fancy for dinner. So, my dinners demand maintain mainly consisted of diverse types of potatoes, veggies, protein, avocado (always) as well as grains. Easy, salubrious as well as delicious. No complaints from me!
Way equally good many deliciously addictive paleo chips from enchilada stuffed spaghetti squash or a vegan snack plate dinner.
Pumpkin inwards every cast I tin recall of. I’ve made pumpkin popcorn pancakes, added pumpkin puree to my basic nana H2O ice cream recipe, as well as fifty-fifty cooked my ain sugar-free pumpkin butter loosingly based on this recipe. Add inwards the plainly pumpkin purée I’ve been enjoying amongst my yogurt for a nighttime snack, as well as I’m likely closer to turning into a pumpkin than Cinderella. Considering how goodness all of these gluten gratuitous pumpkin recipes taste, I’m A-OK amongst that!
What I’m Doing/Loving:
Enjoying to a greater extent than (short) eve walks. Ever since my leg muscles decided to become a fleck crazy, I haven’t been able to produce a lot of walking. Knock on wood, though, in that place demand maintain been a duet days where I’ve been able to accept an eve stroll. Since autumn has permanently arrived inwards Mankato, I’m unremarkably bundled upwards similar an Eskimo...but the sunsets around campus are gorgeous, as well as I beloved doing a picayune meditation or reflection I walk.
Realizing that, most days, I genuinely relish teaching. One degree a few weeks ago, I striking me that, fifty-fifty though I was stumbling over my words, my students were half-asleep as well as I was feeling a fleck zombified myself, I genuinely felt comfortable leading degree as well as happy walking around as well as answering students’ questions. Is pedagogy e'er butterflies as well as rainbows? H-e-double-hockey-sticks no. But I’m trying to savor the moments where it is.
Leaving my comfort zone amongst some social adventures! At the starting fourth dimension of October, I spent an eve hanging out, carving pumpkins as well as warming upwards around a bonfire amongst some other MFA folk. To goal October, I went to a "Literary Magazine" Halloween party, inwards which each somebody had to clothing similar their favorite literary journal (because that's what literary nerds similar us produce for fun). My five-minute costume was a cardboard box that I cutting into strips then that I could hold upwards The Driftwood, my undergrad's literary magazine! Socializing equally a grad pupil is extra challenging when you're non a nighttime owl as well as demand maintain to accept sleeping meds (for fibromyalgia-related insomnia) as well as can't drive later on a sure fourth dimension at night. However, I'm learning to hold upwards to a greater extent than flexible amongst my schedule as well as seeing where life leads me!
What I’m Planning:
Stocking upwards on my gluten gratuitous soup, dainty cream, smoothie bowls as well as white patato recipes since I’ll hold upwards having dental surgical physical care for the twenty-four hours earlier Thanksgiving...which agency I’m trading the green feast for 5 days of a soft foods diet. This is the 2nd twelvemonth inwards a row where I’ve nixed the green Thanksgiving dinner, then I’m non equally good bummed. But living without trail mix, granola as well as other crunchy delights? That’ll hold upwards a lot harder!
Pacing myself. This is the fourth dimension inwards the schoolhouse twelvemonth that’s e'er hardest for me, mainly because I unremarkably move into the “burned out” phrase later on midterms...and this twelvemonth is no exception. So, acre I’m going to attempt to demand maintain equally many adventures equally possible, getting a lot of R&R is also high upwards on my priority list. Good matter I demand maintain my listing of xv self aid activities that accept xv minutes or less, right?
