So TMI time. Today I am feeling very bad, I think because of that time of month. Very weak, run-down, feel like I'm going to faint every time I stand up, no appetite most of the day.
I finally started to feel hungry, and was going over in my head what I have to eat (not a ton, since I needed to go grocery shopping today and didn't feel up to it). I thought I'm probably iron deficient and should have some of my yummy spinach salad -- sort of the most "naughty" thing I've had lately, as there's a little gorgonzola on it, always tempting. But right now it didn't sound good at all. I thought the spinach was probably good, but the rest sounded bad, and spinach by itself never sounds good (I'm not there yet -- hopefully someday I'll eat spinach leaves like chips!).
So I thought, tuna? Processed, yes, but I'll eat a can plain if it'll help. Eh. Smoothie? Neh. Corn! Eh, corn is good, but I don't think I could eat a bowl right now. Suddenly I thought of the bag of frozen peas, and thought, PEAS, I need PEAS. Now, I eat frozen peas because freezing them doesn't screw them up, but I'm not a huge pea fan (though I do like them fine). And I decided I could handle a couple walnuts.
So I looked up the nutrients in peas, and guess what? Excellent source of iron! Also vitamin c (which I haven't really had today) and whatever-whatevers that help process protein -- from... the walnuts! Anyway, I think, MAYBE, that was my body telling me what it needed. We'll see, I need to less type-y more eat-y.
Ooh, and I just saw that The Princess Bride is on Bravo tomorrow night. SWEEEET.
