Quinoa, Classwork, and Moving

This week is all about reducing. We are moving (me for the 2nd time this year, my mom for the 1st time in 27 years) next month. We are eating up the contents of our kitchen and getting ready to box up everything. The goal is to send most things to our new house and the rest to our family's homestead up north. Goodbye, childhood home! RIP.

In an attempt to avoid grocery shopping, we are eating mostly quinoa recipes from Mary Jane Butters's cookbook. Fast-cooking, nutrient-dense, delicious food every day. So far, the Greek recipe is my favorite.

I am 2 weeks away from being a certified nurse assistant! And 6 weeks away from finishing all my prerequisites, taking the TEAS, and applying to nursing school! 

So far, so good. This semester has been a challenge to keep up with 19 credit hours worth of homework. I'm ready to take fewer classes and work more next semester so I can save some money. I'll need it if/when I get accepted into nursing school!
