Coffee till noon, then a real lunch most days

Curious how the day-to-day actually shakes out for everybody, because mine has gotten weirdly predictable in a good way. Mornings I'm just coffee with a splash of milk, and I genuinely don't think about food until close to eleven.

Then it's usually two eggs scrambled with a slice of sharp cheddar on a half bagel, or Greek yogurt with frozen blueberries if I'm running late for the pharmacy run.

Lunch is a turkey sandwich and an apple I cut up at the counter like my grandma did. Afternoon I'll hve a string cheese or a handful of almonds if my stomach says so. Supper is whatever the family's having — last night was chicken and rice with green beans — just a smaller pile than I used to take.

The part that still surprises me is not wanting anything after supper. I used to be a bowl-of-cereal-at-nine person. Now I brush my teeth and that's that.

My insurance just approved another stretch, so I'm trying to be intentional while I have it. What's your midday look like? I'm nosy and I need ideas for lunches that don't bore me by Wednesday.
