I wish I could lose my lunch.

My plan to maintain a healthy and balanced lunch has gone by the wayside already this year. In the beginning of the year, I had the four major food groups running on all cylinders. As you know though, this job eventually consumes you, and time to create a healthy diet, as well as grooming and any other activities where my needs come before teaching, suffer. And I know that I can always stand in line in the cafeteria for one of those lunches, but I that could screw me out of seventeen of my twenty-five minute lunch. To me, that’s not a better alternative.

Today’s menu for my lunch from home contains a tortilla, a half jar of relish and a sucker. Heck, that’s not a lunch. It’s a dare.
