AHHH! Nooo! What the hell?! How could this happen?
I just used the LAST of my caffeinated coffee grounds.
WTF? How could I forget? Silly me and not wanting to go to the store for my own things the last few days. I'll have to make a list and go asap.
In other events, so this past week I had three Thanksgiving dinners to deal with. I now know I have come out of this triumphant! I still managed to lose 1.4 pounds, despite all of the food I've been eating this week. Perhaps I haven't been eating as much as I think, and also ... I guess all that busy moving around, going here, going there helped too. So, I'm back on track and I absolutely refuse to be put off of it! My foot is down and that's all there is to it!
Sick kitty is still doing all right. He threw up this morning though a couple of times. He's peeing normally though, so I'm not going to stress over it yet. He was so funny earlier though. He gets SO excited when you pet him. He can't just lay down and relax next to you, I mean, he settles down an TRIES to lay down ... but then he gets so excited because it feels so good that he has to get up and make another lap around the bed, then try to settle in again. Then when he does finally settle in, he rolls over, puts his big belly in the air and when you start rubbing his belly or anywhere else once he's in that position, the drool begins. It was so funny. I'm very glad he's back home.
I realized something at my WW meeting today. Usually where I sit, it's in with the older ladies, ages probably ranging from 60 to 80-ish. On the other side of the room the middle agers sit (40 - 50ish) and the very few people who are younger sit somewhere in with them usually. I'm not sure why it's that way, but it is. But then I realized something else. The ladies I usually sit near remind me of either my grandma or my great aunt in one respect or another. One of them especially reminds me of my great aunt, very similar attitude, very refined but realistic and down to earth at the same time, very prominent in her profession. It almost made me tear up thinking about those similarities today.
I'm feeling like today will be a good day. I think I'm going to do a little cleaning, as we have to set up for the new fish aquarium tonight. Of course I've already got dishes poured and soaking. I may even take a nice warm bath since nobody is home and I'll be able to use as much hot water as I please. So this one's just a short check in. I'm trying to stay positive on all fronts. If anybody doesn't like it, too damn bad.

That is very good! The holidays make it hard to be good with diet. So many temptations! -

Wishy - Thank you ... and huh, I thought our cat was the only one who drooled, as I have never heard of or seen another cat doing that until now! At least I know it's nothing completely goofy, lol. Does yours walk around making weird noises, little chirrupy noises, mewls, rolling meows, and all that good stuff when she gets lonely? Mr. Sick Kitty has been doing A LOT of that since he's been home, some of the strangest noises I've ever heard, and some of them we've never heard him make before!
Uni - Thank you, and yes the holidays are VERY hard on a diet. I was convinced I had probably gained weight this past week, but then again, I was getting in a pretty downed attitude also. Now that I know I lost, and I'm so determined to keep good spirits, I think I'll be able to keep on losing and reach my goal of fitting into the next pants size down after the new year. I'm already so close, nothing's gonna stop me now!

I have a cat who only JUST manages not to drool when she's happy. You can hear her swallowing... *purr purr purr ULP purr purr purr ULP*
One of my old cats would get so excited he would basically pet himself. Once he realized he was getting attention... "OMG OMG she loves me OMG!" and he would run back and forth and round and round, trying to "participate" in the petting session, until all you had to do was hold your hand out at his head level and he would do the job himself!

Hiya hege, wel done ''round of applause'', im glad kitty is ok...xx -
Hegemone said on Dec 03, 2008....
Twy, Frag, Lionesss - Thank you!
nytquill - Ha, yeah sick kitty does that one too. That's before I finally settles down drooling. Except now he's taken a new move on, as he's been having problems with his heiny and we've had to keep a close eye on him, now if you are lying down petting him, he'll walk up and aim it right at yer face. He didn't used to do that one before, lol. Haven't figured out yet if it's a 'Kiss my ass' or a 'Here, look while I'm showing you and get it over with!' kind of message.
