A fresh start

rosewritesYesterday, we accomplished a lot around the house. I recently bought some glass meal prep containers, but we had nowhere to store them thanks to the abundance of junk in our kitchen. I assembled a huge collection of stuff to donate, and I tossed some other things. This created room for me to organize the kitchen more effectively. We are keeping some plastic Tupperware containers (on a high shelf) for sharing leftovers with my parents or vice versa. But the glass containers will be used for us.
We also recently bought a used treadmill, and it turned out to be too big to fit through the doorway of the room we wanted it in. So it has been sitting in our foyer for a couple months. Yesterday, my husband disassembled it and the two of us (!!) moved the beast into what we call "the cat room." It is kind of our all-purpose storage room, but is also cat-proof for when we need to keep the cats away from a house project, for example. It involved some heavy lifting and critical thinking, but we accomplished it, ourselves, in a single day!
So today we wanted to reward ourselves. We went to a restaurant in a cute, artsy, walkable part of town. I had a goat cheese and spinach Benedict and home fries. My goodness. Goat cheese has been my thing lately. I love the strong, satisfying flavor! Then we walked around in a park for 45 minutes to work off breakfast. Oh, can't forget that I also had two delicious French 76s (my favorite drink that I learned about in reality show Southern Charm New Orleans. I was going to label it a guilty pleasure, but it really isn't because I'm not guilty about it. I like to watch brainless shows to relax sometimes. Shrug.).
And then we went to The Fresh Market for the first time. I had never been before! I am at the point in my life where I get joy from exploring new grocery stores and seeing all the exciting food items. We still needed some more normal grocery items so went to Publix after that. Now I am exhausted but super fulfilled at the awesome day we had (especially that Benedict).
