Today made me realize I should bring a camera with me...
Mumford and Sons: Little Lion Man
I can't stop listening to this song. And on the video, a fucking suitcase! Such an amazing song, totally fitting with the cool Chicago air and beautiful visuals brought by the leaves changing color on my favorite trees.

Seemingly, I've been sick every weekend. My immune system is wrecked, I believe by the lack of a routine for meals and their quality. Rather than complaining about it, I'm fixing it.
From now on, every Sunday, while lazing around watching football for a ridiculous ten hours, I will prepare a simpler fancy meal- more likely than not, this will involve many pots, pans, and seasonings.
Today, I went to my local Jewel to pick up supplies. I decided to walk even though I am still with a massive headache and a 100 degree fever. I shopped well:
1 green pepper
2 small onions
3 red potatoes
.60 pounds of ground chicken
1 small carton of raspberries
1 small carton of strawberries
1 small carton of blueberries
1 small carton of cranberries
I cut the peppers into strips, and sliced the potatoes pretty thin considering I wanted them slightly charred. I dropped the chicken in about five minutes afterward and was very surprised about how it turned out. Halfway through, I totally forgot about the onion I had chopped up.
This is where I slightly experimented. I ran out of my Adobo and had to season my onions. So what I do? Chicken Bouillon. Though it was all sodium, I was very pleased how these onions tasted and I will be doing them again.
My dessert of berries, a self described berry salad, was delicious and nutritious.
Next up in my cooking adventure, a Cheeto-encrusted pork chop, bean salad with a light honey glaze.
---
After my dessert, I had swiped away my three scratch off tickets I bought. Typically I buy Win For Life because I would like to win for life, which ONLY pumps out $50,000 a year before taxes. Whatever. So I scratch the two and get nothing. Then I bust out the quarter rather than the nickel I was using, I scratch off a ticket that wins me a 100. I walk to Jewel to redeem it and then hop on my bike to Chase and promptly deposit that Franklin into my VacationElevenFund, or #VEF if you will, which is comfortably resting at 3,200 right now.
Now, I'm just doing free weights while taking breaks from reading The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. What a way to unwind on this day off of mine. Enough inside time, I have my bench outside to sit on.
