Lather, Rinse, Repeat in Magical Realism

I'm at the office and I'm writing an entry...stop me if you've heard it...
Yesterday afternoon flew by and before I knew it, was time to head out for the gym. Did the rowing circuit class with two of my colleagues and felt surprisingly strong during class after feeling tired/sore most of the day. Showered at the gym but it was raining so did not blow-dry. The weather had turned and I was pretty cold in just a shift dress and bare legs, so I hurried home!
Arrived home to find a bunch of big packages from online shopping. I went through everything and again, pretty much nothing fit. I was especially sad about a few Zara blazers I'd ordered, I tried them on but they were way too short and looked ridiculous. On the bright side I finally found a good pair of tall flat boots! I have seriously been looking for a replacement for my old ones for two years and just got rid of the old pair in my last clean out because they were looking so shabby. I was this.close to buying the overly pricey Stuart Weitzman 50/50's but bought these online from ASOS on a whim, hoping that they'd be high enough and not look weird. And they were! They fit close to the leg, the leather is nice and smooth and hits just at the bottom of my knee. I like them even better than the 50/50's, plus they were on great sale, plus a 20% off coupon code, so I am thrilled.
Packed up the rest of my online shopping bulimia to go back, then had to jump on a conference call with Hong Kong. A held off on starting dinner until I was done, and after that we had delicious tilapia "tacos" wrapped in romaine lettuce leaves with avocado. So tasty. After that I washed dishes, made tea, and we had shared the last three macaroons (not macarons) - they were just as delicious the second day. I did some work, puttered around, and got ready for bed. Randomly decided to curl my hair with curling wand since it dried a little wonky and my flat-iron died on me. (Waiting for the new one to come in the mail currently!) After that I went to bed. I got up around 1am to pee, and thought I was hallucinating at the sound of something crispy-sounding falling on the skylight in our bathroom.
Woke up this morning and realized no, it was snow. Got up, packed my workout stuff, then washed up, drank some green tea, and made an egg and apple for breakfast (no double yolk today.) My hair was somehow still nicely curled which was great, so I got dressed, put on sunscreen and black dress, black tights, black-on-black studded flats.
Packed up my lunch and snacks, put on my coat and headed out to see more snow. Crazy stuff. I was ravenous by 10:30am so I ate an almond, dark chocolate and sea salt Kind bar that I had in my deck - I think I do need that second egg in the morning. Lunch was the second tupperware of chicken/brussels sprouts/butternut squash and I am about to go get that leftover tilapia filet for snack.
After work today I would like to work out, return stuff at Zara/Uniqlo, and get groceries.
Anyone have good ideas for five-ingredients-or-less meals?
