Today was the first real rainy day since it was announced a couple of weeks ago that the rainy season had come. Apparently we are having a somewhat dry rainy season this year. No complaints about that from this girl for sure!
I woke up today just before Koichi was about to leave for work. I just can`t seem to get myself into bed by 11:00 which was my goal this week. Thinking I need to try some new tactics like putting my phone away at 10:00 maybe so my mind can have some time to shut down.

After he left I had some breakfast:
I didn`t feel like making eggs so I mashed up a banana with some coconut cream, frozen berries, and cinnamon and paired it with 1/2 an avocado and some tomatoes.
Today we had a rhythmic class at the culture center in the shopping center near our place. There was only 1 other student besides Noa. It`s only about 2 times a month and Noa and I enjoy it so we try to go every time. Here she is playing a tambourine.
It`s fun to watch her watch the other student(s) and figure out what she needs to do. I don`t want to brag, but she`s a fast learner!
After class we picked her up an "ikura" (salmon roe) rice ball and headed home for lunch. When we got home she wanted to jump in the puddles before we headed inside, so I let her play in the rain for a few minutes. She was ecstatic!
I love this shot!
She must have worked up an appetite because as soon as we were inside she asked for her rice ball. I gave her half and she ate it right away and asked for more. Once she was fed and happily watching "The Sandlot" for the hundredth time this week, I made my own lunch.
Baby salad greens with Mexican seasoned chicken tenders, avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, salsa, and bell pepper slices. It hit the spot for my Mexican craving.
After lunch Noa asked me to lie down with her, which I gladly did. Unfortunately she never went to sleep. I fell in and out of sleep though and ended up feeling really groggy. I am waiting for the energy to kick in more permanently. I am feeling it every few days, but nothing consistent just yet.
In the evening I decided to do some breakfast meal prep and I made egg cups again. This time I made chicken fajita cups and since I had made some bacon earlier, bacon avocado cups. It makes my life in the mornings so much easier to have these in my fridge, not just for me, but for Koichi`s breakfast too. I also used the oven to prepare dinner. One of my favorite ways to make dinner lately is to make a one sheet pan meal. Last night I put salmon fillets from Costco and sliced eggplant on the pan and baked it.
Add a salad and you have a meal! This was actually just half of a fillet.
I am really trying to stop snacking throughout the day, but I tend to get hungry before dinner. Yesterday I had some dried golden berries before I made dinner, but I didn`t have any coffee! I am considering cutting out caffeine, but not sure I am ready to do it just yet.
