Wow!
I don't quite know what's gotten under my skin, but maybe taking Saturday "off" really helped give me a second wind.
I made out my invitations and even attempted to print them out ... No can do. My printer just would NOT accept the invitation paper no matter what.
So ... I wrote them all out by hand. 15 of them. (Some are going to people who I know won't come, but will feel hurt not getting one.) I have pretty decent handwriting (actually get complimented on it fairly often when not in a hurry) so they look fairly decent.
While I was doing that, I had the quinoa and veggies cooking on the stove.
Then after they had time to cool off, I got out the freezer dinner trays I'd bought from Amazon months and months ago ... 20 of them to be exact.
Funnily enough, I didn't plan it this way, but I had just enough food for the 20 trays! My freezer is stuffed (13 trays) and the 7 remaining ones are in my fridge. More than enough for lunch and dinner the next two weeks + (because there'll be a few nights I'll want soup or maybe cereal ...)
Here's some pictures:
Quinoa, baked tofu, steamed veggies, spaghetti squash
Steamed veggies, Veggie egg roll, quinoa, butternut squash
Frozen veggies, Veggie egg roll, quinoa, sweet potato
Stack of dinner trays.
My freezer with 13 trays, plus other things rearranged.
Hopefully having all these meals ready to go will make me a whole lot less likely to give in to fast food or other temptations the next few weeks.
Small Accomplishments So far ... :)

WOWza! That makes it so simple to have prepared meals ready to go! Since I'm on the brink of employment, I might have to implement this. And it could offer variety too (and well balanced with veggies included)

Nice save with the invitations. It wouldn't occur to me to just write it because my handwriting is terrible. But I always admire nice handwriting.

Also, I did my wedding invitations by hand and it worked out great. It was more like a hand-written note than a formal fancy invitation, but my family loved it.
