... these are but a few of the words spinning around in my head as I delve into the magical world of the digestive system!
Every time I come across another word that I can't spell without looking at it, I have a mini panic attack!
Having only read the first page of Carbohydrates, the atoms and formula are already threatening to do my head in! Here I thought a carb was a carb was a carb. Pfffft!
I'm training myself to breathe .. and look forward .. and be positive .. and re-read .. and absorb .. and imagine .. and focus ... and then take a break when it begins to feel overwhelming ... just stop for a moment and do something else for 20 minutes to rest my brain.
I'm certain that the crease across my forehead is chiselled more deeply than it was 3 months ago, from the sheer force of concentration that I require at times.
Oh how the time flies!
Oh how stimulating and exciting it is, when after struggling to 'get it', something finally makes sense! It's like finding a piece of the puzzle that creates a much bigger picture and always deserves a gasp and a knowing nod of recognition.
My poor boys at the Seat of Knowledge are copping the brunt of it. Almost every morning I come out with a "Did you know ... ???" and then ramble on for 20 minutes about some amazing fact that I discovered the day before.
Sometimes they are excited that I shared something interesting and want to know more. Other times I see their eyes glaze over and they either have no idea what I'm talking about, or they don't believe my information!
Still, every little piece of information that I repeat out loud or think about, away from my desk, is something that is being absorbed a little deeper in my brain.
Adoring Husband picked up a beautiful array of fresh, organic fruit and vegetables in our FROG box this week and I wish I had more time to spare to do some cooking .. I DID make up a lovely big batch of cauliflower and broccoli puree full of garlic and pepper and sour cream. I froze three containers of it and had the rest with our crispy skinned salmon tonight. Adoring Husband wasn't so impressed with it because apparently, he has a raw throat and the pepper was not kind to it.
So now I need to figure out how to fix that raw throat that he's probably had for 2 months and not told me about for fear that I create some concoction for him to ingest on a daily basis.
Hehehe :)
I'm currently watching an Aussie (Kyrgios) play tennis at Wimbledon. It's not looking good for him at this stage, having lost the first 2 sets. My favourite player, Lleyton Hewitt is playing at 1.30am and I really want to stay up to watch him, but it's only 10.40 pm now and I'm already struggling to stay awake! Perhaps I should go to bed and set my alarm for 2am?!
Anyway, no photos to share today, but I think I have a quote or two that you might like ...
Nite all.
