I almost never remember my dreams but the one I had last night involved zombies. That's the other part of the list for me: 1) I don't remember my dreams 2) if I do, there were zombies in them.
I ended up oversleeping by an hour. Maybe the zombies got me.
I've changed up my lunch lately. I used to have the same lunch at all times--chicken, egg, spinach, and two vegetables--but lately, due to repeatedly not buying the chicken in time to make it beforehand combined with a single package of chicken lasting a week in the pre-Plague Years but now I only go into the office two days a week, I've moved away from chicken. Some weeks I brought in pita, vegetables, cheese, and hummus, but lately I've settled on another salad. The AMA gave us our own branded lunchbox a while back that was a bit like a bentō box but more obviously designed for salad--there's a single big container, and then an insert over it that has two compartments and a third one with a sealable container for dressing. I didn't previously put dressing on my salad because I didn't want it to get soggy, but now I have a few to avoid that so I have a new salad: spinach, two vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, almonds, feta cheese, with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing. I can add apples to this if I want, change up the vegetables. The vinegar is delicious. I think I can stick with this salad for a while.
I went out on the riverwalk today and noticed that at long last, the restaurants down there are open, though the overpriced gelato ($7) place still isn't open. I also saw multiple couples getting photos taken by professional photographers, or people getting friends to take photos for their instagram. Everyone is hoping that spring will have, at long last, come to Chicago. It's been cold until now and we already lost out on the cherryblossoms, which started blooming during early warm weather in April and then almost all fell off in the chill that followed. Now that it's sunny and slightly warm, people are going to take advantage of it. I certainly will.
