Lunch

Its quiet here at the office. Probably because so many people are either taking vacation time or working reduced hours from home. But not me, I like the routine of getting ready for work and heading into the office.

I also like the weekday morning routine; wake up; let the dogs out; feed the dogs; get dressed and go for a walk around the neighborhood; (my husband is packing my lunch while I work towards my 10,000 steps); get ready and leave for work.

I really enjoy that morning walk for uninterrupted me time. I usually listen to a podcast episode while shuffling thru the streets. Once sunrise starts at an earlier hour Ill take my longer walks around the canal but I wont now cus its just too dark for me to feel safe. Today's podcast was an episode of Mobituaries discussing Lawrence Welk - very entertaining.

So I'm sitting here thinking maybe I want something a little different from my lovingly packed lunch. Besides, its a healthy lunch that can turn into dinner pretty easily. Playing on the phone I see the Subway app is letting me know Ive earned $2 off my next visit. Well, well, well. Sounds like lunch is partially figured out. Usually I just walk over to the restaurant and order in line and show the QC code to rack up points but I think I wanna try the order on the app for pickup and avoid the line. Ordering and customizing is easy breezy so I hit the "place my order" button on a 6-Inch Black Forest Ham with Italian Herbs & Cheese, Toasted, Pepper Jack, Spinach, Tomatoes, Green Peppers, Black Olives, More Red Onions, Banana Peppers, Chipotle Southwest sauce, and Oregano. I thought I had taken off the green peppers when I removed the lettuce but that was an easy fix once I discovered my mistake.

$2.99 less the 2 bucks off and 9 cents tax later and my Visa is charged $1.08. Order will be ready for pickup in 15 minutes. Sweet! Time for a trip to the corner convenience story for a massively large Cherry Coca Cola and a scratcher ticket. That'll be $10 for the scratcher and $1.01 for the diabetes in a styrofoam cup


So thats a total of $12.09 I didnt have to spend but I justify it because all the walking got me to......6,248 steps total for the day. So I guess I'll need to do some more wandering around to get to that 10,000 before shuteye.
