At the time, I was coming home from work to an always empty
house, laying on the floor for an hour to re-calibrate from my day, working myself into a 30 minute or so
run, and then reading a couple food blogs over dinner (
usually a sweet potato, roasted during that
run, with black beans, salsa, and a pile
of greens), working another couple hours just to survive the next school day, and falling into bed into a deep and dreamless sleep before my alarm clock wrenched me
out and up and into another day that was much the same.
