5 a day
From Gail:
"Food have never been as good as when they come from your backyard...^_^
This week, we've had Choi Sum (like bok choy...) and Sugar Snap Peas...and of course, the Guavas and Oranges are growing like crazy. It's like, hey, I need to cook something for dinner - go out to the back and grab some peas and green onions...and get some oranges for dessert! Muah ha ha ha...^_^"
Ah, yes. Wishing I could garden. I guess I COULD but I'd have to get pots and soil and the expense would add up.
BUT, I think I've overcome my produce commitment phobia. Two weeks ago I did a fruit-focused few days, to detox and avert flu, and since then I've been eating lots of fruits & vegs (including an unfortunate collard greens dish on Sunday) and I feel great. Lots of energy and all that. I don't want to sound like a public service announcement, but it's not all crap, that advice about eating lots of fruits and vegetables. And Stater Bros. right behind us is a short little walk for vegs every couple days - it's great.
It smells like something is burning in the house but I can't figure out what. As I look around at what I can't stand to lose, it's all the practical stuff - my PhD notes and books. That would really, really suck. Clothes and computer and all that too - just a major hassle to get again - but without my study materials from the past three years I would be so totally screwed.
Classes start today. Sigh. Hopefully it's good, but I am a real pain in the ass student. Always have been, but it's gotten worse. Read a blog of a guy in interviews for residencies and the person interviewing said, "You have a lot of opinions, don't you?" "I've been in school 19 years. I have opinions." Goodness, I've been in school ... 13 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 25 (not counting all the time for extra classes while just working full-time). Damn straight I'm opinionated!

Ah, my grammar sucks! I can blame it on my being Chinese and English not being my first language, ha ha ha...although...I guess I learned it when I started school...in...uh...preschool...! ^_~
No fire...right?
Muah ha ha. Opinionated indeed! But it's a good opinionated - never seen this superpower used for evil! ^_^
