Back to work Monday, but another well rested week

I think I finally got the needed rest. I was so exhausted that I could not think straight and felt like shit. So the few days off one week and the few days off last week was real nice. Wed was the cataract surgery, and I am amazed of the recovery. I was able to see OK, not clear but my eye did not hurt or was it feeling scratchy. It felt like whatever was in my eye was moving around, probably the implant settling in. So right now, I can see a lot better and I can definitely tell a difference between the other unoperated eye. A couple of post ops with Dr. Chin, my optometrist and then back to see Dr. Dahringer on April 30th. Hopefully get the other eye done and then the world will be all clear again. Sucks to be old but then I don't feel old - I am trying to take care of ME.

Last week was quite an interesting week. I was  off Wed and Thurs from doing any sorts of activities. Fri I had wanted to meet up with my trainer which never happen. I felt so bad and helpless that I could not do anything for her. Problems just crept up and she deserves better. And then there is my friend who is still sad and overwhelm. About all I can do is comfort both of them and just give them a big hug and lend them moral support. I sure hope all works well for them.

Fri I text my long time friend and we met for lunch. We had a good time just chatting and talking about old times and we promised each other that we shall meet again. Interestingly for 2014 I said I will stay in touch and talk to my friends whom I have not seen. It was her and then evening, I went to Whole Foods to pick up some items to make my detox drink and lo and behold I saw some more friends whom I have not seen in a long long time. That connection gave me a sense of warmth and much happiness. Never forget your friends!

This weekend I went back into kitchen therapy. This time it was something quite different. I did stuffed peppers but the filling is not beef or any other meat but salmon.

Here is my rendition of Stuffed Peppers with Salmon

Filling:  salmon, I used canned and some that I had cooked, chopped fresh spinach, feta cheese, minced garlic cloves, chopped red onions, chopped grape tomatoes, nutritional yeast, parsley, ginger, sesame seeds, coconut yogurt, vegan mayonnaise, brown rice. Seasoning: cinnamon, parsley, ginger, cumin, coriander, white pepper, asian seasoning, chicken broth

Cut off the top of the peppers and stuffed it
