A holiday: day 18

Phenomenally gorgeous day.
Took a 'mental health' day from grad school (my advisor is traveling and hasn't gotten back to me with edits yet) and decided to fill it with some yard work and whatever else I wanted to do.
After yoga, I had my tea and some kombucha in the backyard. I spent over an hour relaxing and reading a magazine. I think juniper kombucha is probably my second favorite after basil right now.
I bottled up some new kombucha: basil, ginger, and clove, cardamom and allspice.
Breakfast was super good:
It came out relatively pretty. Zucchini, mustard greens and onion omelette.

I headed to our local coop after mowing the lawn. Today wasn't only a break from grad work, it was also a break from the car. I biked there and back. It was a challenging 16 with hills and traffic. Highway biking is still a little unnerving to me.
View from the road.
When I got home I was pretty well spent and wanted to get some protein in me as quickly as possible. I was also craving salty fish. Solution: rice protein with honey and a can of sardines. Yes, the 1930s called me and said they want their snack back.
Gardened and came in for big dinner: left over rice and spicy zucchini, mushrooms and mustard greens with some sesame oil and oyster sauce. Making me crave hot pot... Soon, very soon.
Dessert was chia and honey. Super satisfying day.
