Who gets sick in July?!

The cold weekend has left me sick. Just went to the doctor and I have strep throat. UGH. No wonder I have felt horrible for the past few days!

Yesterday I had a smoothie for breakfast, rice/veggies for lunch, and then popsicles for dinner. There were tons of veggies leftover from last week (I was barely home and didn’t cook!)  and they needed to be used before they went bad. In the mix- sauteed onions, zucchini, and red peppers. The only seasoning they had were salt, pepper, and olive oil. The rice was a random box I had from Near East.

I’m sick again today and off from work. Not feeling well at all, I had popsicles for breakfast and then a Rush Bowl for lunch. We’ll see about dinner. Just had some tea so hopefully all the nice cold foods will help.

Pink Snow!

Yesterday it snowed PINK!  The rocks around Telluride have a red tint to them so I’m guessing that this is what helped color the skies pink? Then when it started snowing, it came down as pink!! Yesterday’s eating was absolutely 100% awful! We were on the run all day and then had a bad dinner so I won’t go into detail about that.

Oh, here is a picture from the Victorian Inn. This was right off the main street and was a great location for us.

Thankfully there were no animal mounts at this hotel!!!  The check in room was super cute. Look at the fireplace they had!!

We did make it back this afternoon and in great time. We were worried we were going to hit lots of traffic and bad weather, but it held off. Can you believe it actually snows in May here?

We left super super early from Telluride and drove for a few hours until things opened and stopped at Starbucks in Montrose. We also made pit stops in Grand Junction and Vail.

Look what I found along the way! A Moose!

Other pretty scenery for the drive home:

These are the mesas around Grand Junction, cool huh??!!

Flooding

For the past 16 hours I have been sweeping out water. The whole basement has flooded with the two days of downpour. My room happens to be in the basement so I am trying to ditch the damage items, dry the floors, clean the floors (the water is brown and grey and chunky), and trying to stay sane. Yesterday’s meals did not get posted, nor will half of todays at least. Ok, back to cleaning. Wish the owner of the house would come by! I need help!

Rain!!!

I have missed the rain! I know that sounds weird, but it usually doesn’t rain in Boulder. It’s mostly sunny and occasionally it will mist or drizzle.  However, it was really coming down last night. So calming and easy to fall asleep to. Even after my late soccer game which normally revs me up, I was able to fall asleep easily.

Breakfast, didn’t quite get around to that this morning. I’ll have to figure something out.

Veggies for the next two days: yellow bell pepper, grape tomatoes, and cucumber slices. Also in the bag: a banana, tea, and an Immuni-C packet.

Moooornin’

It is eaaarly! I’m currently drinking the hotel coffee. It tastes like sweet water, but I’m hoping it will do the trick. Check out my room!

I’m not sure when, where, or what breakfast and lunch will be…be back later!
