Aaaand here I am, back home. Sigh.
Yesterday we went to visit my grandparents who live north of the city, and they served us lunch. We got up late enough that I didn't have anything for breakfast except a quick cup of coffee, and lunch was pea soup, maraconi casserole, salad and white cake with apple jelly.
For dinner, Rob and I ate leftovers. I think I had a sandwich (the one I was supposed to take to work on Friday but never ate), a few bites of mac and cheese, some of that cake brownie thing, and an orange. No gym, since we had to come home early from lunch so Rob could get some studying in. We hung out and watched The Office (our favourite) and watched The Lovely Bones. Thus concluded our last night of this amazing week.
This morning we had oatmeal for breakfast with coffee. Rob packed me a lunch of a half sandwich, grapes, a banana, an apple and a few Oreos for the bus trip. I ate the sandwich, an Oreo and enough grapes to help swallow an Ibuprofen. I was NOT feeling good about leaving. I really settled into living there, going to the gym there, the routine of commuting, which I don't have to deal with at all here, and generally the lifestyle of getting to live with my man all the time. Needless to say, getting to spend a week of normalcy with your long-distance partner is truly a gift, and one I didn't want to let go of.
When I got home, I went to the grocery store for some much needed "health food" aka. vegetables! I picked up some spinach, carrots, a ton of bananas, cilantro, bok choy, and english cucumbers. I also got some All-Bran style fibre cereal and lots of milk and yogurt for smoothies. Because of the bus ride, the quick trip to the lab to get organized for the week, and the work I had to put in to prepare for tomorrow's tutorial, on top of grocery shopping, no gym AGAIN. That ends tomorrow.
I made chicken with that Thai cilantro stuff, quinoa and steamed carrots for dinner. I made enough to last me three meals, including tonight. For dessert I had a bowl of that fibre cereal (1/2 cup = 1 serving), and a banana-orange-raspberry smoothie with flaxseed oil and some honey. I really missed that thing and a tiny part of me was excited to come home to make smoothies. But now that I've had it and I'm still alone in my quiet apartment, I would give it up to be back in Montreal curled up on the couch laughing with my boyfriend.
I have a long 18 days coming up. This is the amount of time until I see my man again. He has midterms until the 19th so the next week and a bit for him are solely dedicated to study. I'm going to Cornell from the 20-23, so there goes that weekend for visits, and the following weekend is finally Easter! Rob will be coming home with me for some much-needed family and relaxation time. It honestly feels like an eternity away.
Aaand the tears :(
