Surprisingly with only a few hours of sleep, I woke up considerably early. I started off the day with a relaxing cup of tea, featuring tazo green tea, thanks to Matt.
And then I finally gave into and purchased some stars lottery tickets, since my parents are the types that are into these kinds of things. In a way, I realize that from the ticket purchases, we are supporting a good cause. But to be honest, I think a lot of people only focus on the prizes, hence why the focal point is the large print claiming the huge dollar amount of prizes to be won.
Anyways, I only purchased five tickets secretly. So, my dad should be happily astonished to find them in the mail for him, since he was the one that kindly placed the ad on my desk. In some ways, I have mixed feelings about this, because I would much feel much better if I instead donated the money rather than purchased the tickets. It’s kind of hard to explain, but oh well.
I then sat down to a tuna sandwich on toasted sprouted grain bread with a quick salad topped with some juicy cantaloupe, as well as some carrot sticks on the side. Delicious!
Oh, I should try to get some packing done this afternoon, so there isn’t a rush tomorrow when I leave to go back to the city. But as for now, I’m off to enjoy the relaxing Sunday afternoon, toodles!
What a lovely way to relax!! Enjoy.
Good luck packing!! I vote for pushing it off until later

Don’t feel bad about buying the tickets - if that’s how they want to fundraise, there is no reason to feel bad! And if you happen to win something, then that’s a bonus. They get most, if not all, of those prizes donated, so most of the money from ticket sales will be going to the charity.

Hey, just wanted to answer your question about the hot sauce.
I have both the Tobasco and Franks Red Hot Sauce. I definitely like the Franks better it’s not as spicy but it does have a lot of flavor. I don’t think it smells weird, at least not different from the tobasco really.
Give it a try, the little bottle we got was only a dollar fifty. We’ll definitely be getting another bigger bottle soon though.
And don’t worry about buying the tickets, that’s their fundraiser, and you are doing something to help buy purchasing them!

Packing always stinks. I have to do that this evening too. BTW, that sandwich, salad, and carrots look great!
