This morning’s air was humid and smelled – well – gross. The clouds were low and I thought it might rain a bit. Then by lunch time the sky was clear and the sun was blazing hot. The inside of my car as so hot, in fact, that I went to Wal-Mart and bought a sun shield. After work, there was yet another change of weather. We drove through lightning and thunder to get home.
Whats going on? Seriously sky, make up your mind.
For breakfast I chugged down the rest of my Soylent Green protein smoothie. I also had half of Jessica’s grapefruit. I wonder if grapefruit is in season, this one was insanely sweet.
yummiest grapefruit around
Jessica takes her grapefruit very seriously
Later in the morning I broke out some Solar Naturals black bean hummus and veggies. I’ve mentioned in other posts my love for the Solar Naturals brand. Its the least processed store bought hummus there is. There are usually 10 ingredients or less. Compare that to its popular rival, Sombra which boasts too many ingredients to count on its label.

The big surprise of the day was when my dad was in his office looking through X-ray files and a SCORPION crawled out from behind the files! EEeeeeeewwww. Not a fan of those evil looking arachnids.
Jess and I thought it proper to call him by his Christian name
Lunch was leftovers from yesterday’s dinner. I think that it almost tasted better than last night. I ate through that bowl like it was going out of style.
Mmmmm leftovers
Midday I got the munchies. I contemplated the mango that was on my desk but decided that it still needed a couple of days to ripen. Instead I dove into an avocado that was perfect. Not to soft and extremely flavorful!
perfect-o
And what would a midday snack be without some coconut water?

Today was kind of boring at work. And Slooooooow. We had a lot of patients who didn’t show for their appointment times. Grrr. Its hard to believe that this is my last week to work here. I’ve always been apart of this clinic in some way or another and now I’m going to move on by furthering my education through this internship. Part of me is sad and the other part is really excited to begin this new phase of my life.
Later in the afternoon we were treated by one of our newer patients who brought us smoothies from The Daily Juice on 45th street. What a sweetheart. Not only that but carried the smoothies as he walked from North Austin (where he works) all the way down South to our clinic. It takes about 25 minutes to make it that far driving! He gave me a whole to perspective on how far an acceptable distance to walk is.

The smoothies were rather warm by the time they made it to us so we stuck them in the freezer for about an hour. Cocoa lent to a very strong tasting drink. It was pretty good though. The flavor reminded me of dark chocolate with raspberries in the middle.
When we got home Denise made some fish, salad, and brown rice for dinner. I threw together a portabella mushroom to eat along with my rice and salad. I am officially stuffed.
