Win some, lose some

jaunthieYesterday I not only managed to pack my lunch (the aforementioned leftover pasta-meatballs-and-chard), but successfully get it to work, reheat it, and eat it. And it was a truly delicious bit of leftoverage, and healthy to boot. Yay!
Today, I dutifully packed a container of split-pea-and-veggie soup (yes, homemade, and no, not entirely traditional split pea) for lunch.
...and left it in the car. Yes, it was rescued by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fisherbear before it could go bad, but dangit! I'm tired of being this absentminded. I know why; I'm running pretty tired, which makes me clumsy and more prone to forgefulness. Not to mention that I'm usually juggling a purse, a laptop bag, and (not-infrequently) a cup of coffee in the morning. Remembering to add a soup container to the load when I'm getting out of the car (because I won't put it in my laptop bag in case of accidents) is just one thing more than I can reliably handle, so my brain is helpfully preventing spillage/droppage accidents by forcing me to leave something behind.
Or at least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
On the plus side, the cafeteria had a perfectly yummy and not-entirely-unhealthy hot sandwich special today: grilled chicken and smoked mozzarella on a toasted roll. I added lettuce and a wee slice of onion to it, and yum!
Attribution time: I nicked the above user picture (which I saw and immediately LOVED) frommonkeybard. I have no idea where she got it from, but it's just perfect. Edited to add: She didn't get it from anywhere - she made it, which makes it even cooler. Thanks monkeybard!
Mmm, coffee...
