It’s not like I know the schedule but I walked to station..

And arrived at 4:07 for the 4:10 bus. I have to thank God and the angel on my shoulder for my good luck today.

One funny thing. 1st time ever I’ve seen the super bus anti-corruption guy randomly get on the bus to check for tickets. Tickets are only bought in cash from a lady THAT ACTUALLY RIDES ON THE BUS…I’m sure she would love to pocket a few bucks for cigarettes and a couple loaves of white bread.

I can’t even imagine the feels.

My stupid sister just sent me this screenshot from her phone. She apparently doesn’t have any money to charge her phone – or maybe she doesn’t know how to.

The “City Janets” on Flower St. is my go to when I have to walk…

…it’s still clean and tidy and friendly…awesome.

Except expensive……but it’s expensive everywhere…

(bike has been parked for a few days now…it’s just too cold to ride, roads are cold, tires are cold and I am not confident enough for 5 degree jaunts….I don’t think I will ride for at least a couple of weeks…sigh).

I am being super strict..

..with Sto’s diet and I think she’s starting to understand why. Being fat is gross. She gets a tiny bit of diet meat-pack for breakfast..then 1/3 pack at night (also diet meat) + no constant access to crunchies (they are up above where she can’t jump to them)…

but…..she ALSO gets a few diet crunchies now and then throughout the day….3 or 4 at a time…..everyone is on the right track.

Her bluetooth Fitbit scale is coming on Friday and she will have her own profile on my phone app.

Thank you for reading.

Turkish street food – pilaf for lunch. I live this sooooo much.

Left over sushi rice and a chicken breast and chickpeas…. THAT’S IT ..it’s a perfect dish.

It is generally served in a street cart made of glass where all the different ingredients are layered. Just FUCKING amazing…OHHHMMMMMYGGGGG and it’s sooo dang buttery.

THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE STREETS OF ISTANBUL.

Peas sandwich. Tried to replicate the packaging.

Nutrition. Peas are a good source of vitamins C and E, zinc, and other antioxidants that strengthen your immune system. Other nutrients, such as vitamins A and B and cholesterol, help reduce inflammation and lower your risk of chronic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis.
