First Cup of Coffee Tastes Like Washing Up
I have GOT to buy new coffee. My current stock is utterly depressing. There's nothing like bitter, grainy coffee to put a frown on your day.
I also need to figure out a way to make coffee at work; it's a little tricky with no sink and no refrigerator. I can bring in a gallon jug of water since I'm a little loath to drink the water from our floor's communal bathroom. However, what would be easiest to clean: a mini-French press or a four-cup drip filter? I guess I could transport cream in those mini-Nalgene bottles (4 oz.). Sugar is not too complex considering I still have 437 packets of raw sugar. This is really all about saving money. I just don't think I can keep doing $10+ per week on caffeine, nor do I think I can cut down at this point. I'm trying to compromise.
Next on my list is to force myself to eat better. Because of bloodsugar issues I need to eat a good breakfast and a good lunch. The problem is that I eat too slowly and drive too far to eat breakfast at home and that I have eaten sandwiches for lunch for about five years now and I can't enjoy them anymore. Does anyone have any good, simple, and portable suggestions? To complicate matters, I need a significant amount of protein (equivalent of a cheese or peanut butter sandwich), plus I can't do very much wheat flour unless it's stone-ground or processed sugars.

I have started bringing cheddar cheese and apples for lunch, which is enough protein to get me through the afternoon. At least that might help you change it up a bit.

Because I cannot manage to post it on my own blog (is blogger having issues or my computer?), I'll post it here, in honor of Valentine's day:
"Will someone please tell me the story of sinners ransomed from the fall? I still have never seen you, and some days I don't love you at all."
Perhaps you could consider doing some wraps? It would be like a sanwich but different and you could put in varing low-carb items. You might also think about hummus as an option?
Perhaps cold-brew coffee or iced coffee? that might keep.
Apples are a good idea, though I'm a little picky: I don't like the mushy kind.
The problem with wraps is that they usually have cold cuts, however, I'm going to jump off the idea and try out burritos. They should be gylcemically-friendly if I use corn tortillas.
From the game comments: Tuna is a good idea as well. However, I don't think my stomach is tough enough for powdered protein anymore!
I don't like the mushy kind either. Granny Smith go great with cheddar cheese, though. :)
