In search of egg-cellence

Welcome to tech week, and to several countdowns:

3.5 days until opening night

5.5 days until the end of my Whole-30

6.5 days until Comps, Day 1

7.5 days until Comps, Day 2

8 days and 2 hours until Comps are over.

The show is going well. Yesterday was the long day - orchestra rehearsals in the morning and afternoon, plus piano dress in the evening. I felt great about the piano dress, and what's more, the orchestra didn't need a lot from me in terms of note-taking. 

So I used the time, and some time over the breaks, to FINISH outlining and writing down EVERY TERM from the Grout-Palisca, "A History of Western Music." I had been given this textbook as a gift for my high school graduation. It's getting a little worse-for-wear, but it held up. 

I am starting to feel like I am reaping the benefits of Whole-30-Paleo. I love how my clothes fit and how much strength and energy I feel that I have these days. Also, being on this restriction has kept me from stress-eating. Snacks are a lot of oranges and apples.

The hotel that we are staying in is absolutely lovely. Very quiet, cute decorations, nice en-suite microwaves and refrigerators. 

My normal routine when traveling is to unpack if I am staying longer than 24 hours. I have basically left things in bags, which will make an early check-out tomorrow easier. I travel tomorrow again to Ithaca to teach. I haven't been there since December. Here's to hoping that the weather cooperates. 

My one gripe with the hotel is that the eggs at breakfast are WRETCHED. Eggs are a major staple of Whole-30-Paleo, so I rely on them often for breakfast. 

This week, I have been getting down to breakfast before it closes, grabbing some sausage, and then going back to my room.

Behold, my egg poacher! 

And its progeny!

This is true egg-cellence. I will never travel without this again.
