Speedy Spinach Dinner

I am thankful.  I am thankful for life and what the big man upstairs has given me.  I came back from tanning.  I know it's bad.  Do as I say, not as I do.  The house next to my apartment complex was on fire.  Smoke was escaping from the roof.  Many apartment residents were outside investigating.  The fire department came and I watched through a crevice in the fence as the fire fighter took his axe and axed out the back door.  Let me tell you.  Witnessing a fireman in action is inspiring.

Smoked bellowed out of the doorway.  Residents had to run away.  I couldn't breath and was choking on the chemical drenched air.

I later went for a run and ran around the neighborhood to check out the damage to the front of the house.  That's when I seen Nancy.  She works at the YMCA with me and this girl has been through so much.

A few years ago her and her husband were in a horrible motorcycle accident.  They both had to learn to walk and talk again.  Then a year later her husband was in a car accident and was killed and now this.

Her house was destroyed.  I knew she lived in the area but I couldn't tell it was her house from where I lived.  My heart sank.  I gave her a huge hug and comforted her to the best of my ability.  Her cat had been in the house and now was gently wrapped in a blanket on a bed.  Her daughter believes he ran away.

The kitchen floor gave out to the basement.  All this right after Christmas.  My heart and prayers are with her tonight.  She is a strong girl and will not cry in front of her daughter.  Bless her.  I was suppose to meet Nancy for a reason.  I can feel it.  

I had to work tonight and will be covering most her shifts this month to help out.  I also chipped in with my mom and boyfriend to buy a gift card to Price Chopper for $75. 

The worst part, the cat was a gift from the littles girls dad before he passed away.  Again, prayers are sent out.

So granted I did not have time for dinner until late at night I sauteed spinach, mushrooms and one egg together.  Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat bread on the side.

381 calories.

At work I had half of a larabar and tonight I had 3 Godiva chocolates with a glass of wine: 110 and 390.

All together today I had 1430 calories.

And I physically feel cleansed but mentally I am bogged down.  

Sleep will heal.
