Over all I must have eaten too much rich food yesterday because I woke up with a very weighed down, achy stomach.

It makes sense, though. I had a muffin with lunch, and it was definitely made with a pound of lard, and my dinner – while absolutely amazing at a favorite cuban restaurant – was drenched it a rich sauce.

I remember waking up in the middle of the night with stomach pains and this morning that was still the case. I had hoped to get in quick run so the rest of the day would be cleared for packing but I don’t think I’d make it too far in this condition.

I always try to eat breakfast, despite how not hungry I often am in the morning and that was the plan today as well even though food sounded like a terrible idea. In the long run, it’s always the best bet to get your day started with a healthy meal.

I’m not drinking caffeine right now because moving already has me so wired so I was so happy that I had found a bag of decaf in the pantry when packing it up last night.

We bought this for Will’s graduation weekend and never got around to using it so I happily helped myself to some. Of course, I had to dig the coffee filters out from the bottom of the box but it was worth it. I usually grind my own beans but it was kind of nice to be lazy and just scoop the pre-ground stuff right out of the bag.

I had my decaf with the soy creamer I picked up at Trader Joe’s last weekend.

Not as good as the So Delicious french vanilla I had been using but it did the trick.

Looks like my usual long run breakfast.

I’m a little bummed I didn’t get to do a longer run this weekend especially since it’s likely my last in Orange. Oh well. Other great things came from the weekend instead.

Breakfast was a little hard to eat but I’m starting to feel better. Like I said, better to go with breakfast than without.

Packing started yesterday but it’s still at the stage where it doesn’t look like much has been done beyond turn the house into a disaster zone.

That’s our ‘Done Pile.’ Needs to be much bigger by the end of today.

The weird thing about this move is that I know we are moving within the next couple of days, and it’s not really a huge move like cross-country or anything. But because we have access to both places at the same time, I feel like things will be in limbo for a little longer. We’ll try to get everything to the new place at the same time but I can see some things being left for a separate trip and that makes it hard for me to get truly motivated to have everything boxed up NOW. I also want to know exactly what day the big move happens (aka our bed and other major furniture) so I can plan how many clothing items to save, how much food to prepare for lunches/breakfasts. We’re not buying food until we move (obviously) so I have to get creative with what’s left.

While we’re not buying food for us, I had to buy Anni food yesterday.

Another large item to haul down to the beach!

Despite feeling like I got nothing done yesterday, I do see some signs of progress.

Empty selves! That really need to be cleaned! Wow our house is dirty! I think that comes from having two different roommates that lived with us over the course of our time here and that no one treated this house as a home for that first year. It was a college house and it shows.

I found so many odd things in my pantry that I guess I knew I had but had forgotten were tucked away in there.

Like not one but two boxes of Trader Joe’s corn bread mix. This ended up with us last year when a friend moved out of his place and donated all his food leftovers to us. I think I thought I would make these (still kind of do) but obviously I haven’t been moved to use it in the last year. To the food donation box it goes.

Along with the sugary cereal Will bought in a variety pack and then never ate.

Although with my oats running low and no grocery shopping date in sight, I may eat these at some point this week. Eek.

A long day of packing awaits. I better get to it!
