Day 9

So I asked on this forum I belong to for dinner recipes under 200 calories, and one of the suggestions I got was an egg white omelette. “ooh, sounds great!” I thought.

Waited less than five minutes at the station, had six seats to myself and read Anna Karenina and admired the scenery.  Walked from the station to the office. Wooded and fields. Beautiful.
