Chuki has really really dry skin. We all do actually because there's just about no moisture here in the air in the Andes. In the past we've given him oatmeal baths to help but this time he's just itching himself raw. We've checked with the vet and it's not fleas or ticks or anything, it's just dry skin. So my mission today is to find a remedy that we can do here at home, that's cheap and that's safe! I'll let you know what I find out!

Project Number 2 - Day 22 (Wednesday)
So my morning class has been canceled since Wednesday until Monday. It's kind of nice to be able to lounge around in bed all morning. And by kind of nice I mean really nice. As I write this I'm laying in bed, window open, sun shining, Chuki sleeping. The only thing that would make this better would be breakfast in bed, but alas. I'll have to get up to make that happen.
Yesterday Ryan and I enjoyed our last breakfast at the table on the deck. It was our last at the table because last night we sold it! That's right, the actual selling of things has begun. WOW! We still have two chairs and I'm going to bring one of the end tables out there so we can still enjoy meals outside during the ever-getting-better weather. For breakfast we both had yogurt, granola, strawberries, 1/2 of a banana and peanut butter. SO SO GOOD! I know some people love oatmeal every morning but for me oatmeal is heavy. It's best on a cold, grey day. But yogurt, that's what you eat for breakfast when the sun is shining! We both also had a cup of coffee. I'm trying to cut back, hoping that will help with these blasted headaches. I'll keep you posted.
I ate lunch in two parts yesterday. Part one - soup before I left for class. Part two - an egg sandwich when I got home from class. We LOVE egg sandwiches. On mine I had mayo, tomato, greens (a mix of cabbage, swiss chard and spinach), mozzarella cheese, and 2 scrambled eggs. Ryan had the same except 2 fried eggs and he added sausage to his. Weird, I know.
For dinner we made together (it's been a long time since we've cooked together!) fried rice. We've got tons of veggies for some reason and fried rice is a great way to use em up. We sauteed onions, peppers, cabbage, peas, garlic and ginger. Added the rice. Added some asian sauces (soy sauce and oyster sauce, I think). Cracked two eggs over it and cooked on high heat until it started to get crunchy. SO SO GOOD!
I noticed that because I ate three square meals, perfectly sized and full of protein, I wasn't hungry at all! It was fabulous! Especially because I ran sprints again yesterday which really takes it out of me!
I have an addition to what I ate on Tuesday - I completely forgot that Ryan and I had ice cream on our way home from the immigration office.
