I Can Hear the Mermaids Singing, Peach to Peach

Sleep alright, y'all?

I was not treated to a peaceful repose last night myself.

This is not why.

No. 

Convincing people into my rock hard, way-too-small 20 year old half of a bunk bed does not happen with alarming frequency. Obviously my bed is the only thing standing between me and a sex life.

Bunk beds may seem awesome, folks. 

(You can build hotwheel tracks off the top! Or drape blankets for a fort!)

But there is  an unavoidable reality  when it  comes to adults sleeping in bunk beds.

& it is stark.

Awesome bunk beds: a great way to appear as if you want to lure children into your home!

I needed something refreshing after a night in my horrible infirm (pun intended--old&hard???) half a bunk bed.

I needed a peach smoothie to brighten up my day.

And some peanut butter toast.

I love how the peach skin looks in the smoothie.

Ah, yes. Smoothies. Another versatile breakfast, you can make a smoothie from anything really! 

Vegetables, fruit (fresh, pureed, or juiced!)

Yogurt, milk (so many types of milk!)

Nut butters, spices

Normally I'd make mine with a handful of spinach, and I definitely would not put orange juice in it. 

But today I had some, and today I was feeling fruity.

I do what I want.

I blended up the following peach smoothie  & drank it with a half a slice of  peanut butter toast for a surprisingly filling breakfast.
