Day 136: Spent

Twelve hours later, I am spent. By 7 o'clock tonight, anything not done was slapped together to be finished tomorrow. I hate working sloppy, but there are times when that is the only solution if you don't have the amount of hands to finish the job properly. The women I was working with today, were incredible. No complaining, even though they all had good reason.

To Clarify, we try to eat at least one vegetarian meal per week. We use mason jars to store leftovers in easy grab-and-go portions for lunch the next day. The students at my work, drool over my leftovers and wish they had time to cook real meals.
