desk job not required

I can't tell you how glad I am not to have a desk job. No, a gas station isn't my dream job, but it is a job and it keeps me active. There are always things to be done and it keeps me going all day long. I love it! Someone asked me the other day "What is a pretty girl like you working at a gas station for? Tell me honestly, do you hate working here?" To be honest, I was a little insulted. To me, no job is 'beneath' me. No job should be beneath anyone. I told him "I actually love it here. Someone could have the best job in the world and hate it. It's all in your mindset--it is what you make it." He was really surprised by my answer and I could tell he felt dumb (as he should.)  No, I don't plan on making a career out of this job, but I am so grateful for a job and I'm treated very well there. I'm appreciated by my employers and they let me know that every time they see me. And, because of my job, everyday I'm exceeding my 8,000 steps per day goal!
Tomorrow Nadia is coming over and we're going to make mussels. I'm excited! I've never made them before. I've had them, they're absolutely delicious, and now we get to make them!
I loaded up on snacks--bought string cheese, rosemary and garlic crackers with Laughing Cow cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, more frozen berries for the shakes I love making... lot's of good, healthy and sustainable things to keep me going all day long. I've been pretty good (not perfect though) about drinking two liters of water every day. I cannot tell you enough how much I LOVE that water bottle I bought!
