Who Moved My Cheese?
We got home late last night from the CR Conference, safely returned home from the airport by my mother, who also helped out with sitting for Kieffer and Philomena (our cats.) While the food was good, I am very much looking forward to returning to my quotidian diet. I was super excited this morning to eat my typical breakfast of a cup of eggwhites scrambled with a few shiitake mushrooms, teaspoon of flax oil and slice of nonfat cheddar cheese. I scrambled my eggs with the mushrooms, MR measured my flax oil as he was measuring his own for his breakfast salad, and I reached into the fridge to grab the cheese.
Gone. No nonfat cheddar anywhere. I am almost certain that when I left, there was most of a package.
Perhaps my mother or my cat sitter discovered the value of nonfat cheese and took it. That would be fine, as I want to spread the calcium-rich deliciousness. Perhaps thieves broke into the house and stole nothing but the nonfat cheddar cheese. Perhaps MR ate it all in the middle of the night but can't bring himself to admit to it.
Someone moved my cheese.
I spent an embarassing number of minutes this morning walking around saying, "Who moved my cheese?"
Now I probably owe royalties to the person who wrote that book.
Response to comments: Hi KC! Welcome! I'm 31, a union organizer, and I've been doing CR for just over two years. I'm 5'2" and weigh between 102 and 104. Pre-CR, I weighed 137. I average 1300 calories per day, split between most days of closer to 1150 - 1200 and one day a week when I got out to eat with friends or family.
Today it's back to work... still have to shower, meditate, and find something to wear before I go pick up Luke for another exciting day of making the world safe for health care professionals to organize with the union of their choice.
