SLAMMED BY A TRUCK

Today we went to a park where there were food trucks parked. It started out as a nice sunny day but it quickly became overcast. We stayed for about one and one-half hours. Brenda had some really good fried chicken and I had the one vegan dish. It was a quinoa, potato salad with lemon vinaigrette. It was tasty just not filling. Then we shared a slice of plum/raspberry pie.  We were disappointed the kettle corn folks were not there. That kettle corn was really good a few weeks ago at the kite festival.

Then when I got home I was going to eat a bit and then go to REI to look at bike stuff. But I could not get off the couch. I had that overwhelming exhaustion, achy bones, my skin hurt (not from sunburn) and I could not stay awake. I slept until 5pm.  I have not had this happen in quite awhile. I didn't have it the day of the kite festival or yesterday when I cleaned out the pond. I am wracking my brain to try and figure out what is different. Today I wore shorts and I used sunscreen on my face. At the kite festival I forgot sunscreen and I wore Capri pants. Today I forgot to put my hat on right away. Last time I had my hat on from the minute I got out of the car. Last time I drank more because I brought my own food and ate popcorn which is salty. Maybe that had something to do with it.

For dinner I made this awesome roasted cauliflower, broccoli & sun-dried tomato salad with chickpeas. It is really tasty. I love me some roasted broccoli and cauliflower. All the ingredients just come together to have a little vegetable party in my mouth. 

Happy Labor Day!

Until tomorrow...
