Stressful Week

by

This week at work continues to be non-stop, today was just a blur of insanity due to being short handed and many projects popping up. What I can’t stand about weeks like this is just feeling shut down, too fried to do anything I want when I get home and no free minutes at work just to catch my breath. But days weeks like this make me thankful for many things, like staring at lazy pets to get relaxed.

A loaded pantry.

Nutrient packed smoothies to start the day.

Monster salads full of fresh veggies.

Getting an invigorating face massage in the morning.

Stylish and functional fashion.

And chocolate cake – which I need to make this weekend!

And, of course, leftovers for throwing together another simple dinner tonight. I had plenty of leftover broccoli pate from last night and collard greens, so I made something like raw burritos.

I smeared Vegenaise on the greens, then layered on broccoli pate, sprouted mung beans and a perfectly ripe avocado for a dinner that came together in 5 minutes.

Not exactly fancy, but tasty, fun and not stressful. Raw pate leftovers are great to remix in nori rolls, wraps, salads, or even smearing on crackers and breads.

Now I’m gonna be thankful for something else to take to a bubble bath.

  1. I have had a super busy, stressful week, too. They all are kinda that way but this one is even more hectic. Hang in ther!

    Thanks for the relinks of the clarisonic and the camera bag. Both things I need to ponder/invest in…

    Enjoy your wine and just think, it’s almost Friday :)

    • Thanks, you too! I’m loving the camera bag so far and the Clarisonic has been wonderful for super cleaning at the end of the day too.
