So instead of being super productive with the writing on my day off, it looks like today is going to be used to run errands, get my yearly eye checkup, clean the apartment, and hang out with the cat, who is currently demanding snuggles.

Izz did really well at Mom's house today. We stayed for dinner and she didn't try to hide once, unlike the last two times I took her over for a visit. In fact, she stayed on the ledge of the picture window in the living room and watched hummingbirds zoom by until it got dark ( Read more... )

The furry little roommate is not a happy camper today. They're doing routine pest prevention spraying at my place, so I had to get her out for the day. Instead of boarding her at the vet (mostly because she's That Cat over there) I have her in the spare bathroom at Mom and Dad's. The bathroom is a lot bigger than a kennel and I made sure to ( Read more... )

Well, Izzy is back to about 90% it seems. She's still giving me the "woe is me" sad eyes and such, but she's running around the house and playing with her toys a lot more than she had been this weekend.

For the record, she hates antibiotic drops. She ran from tonight's dose, but I managed to give her the whole dropper by distracting her with

I feel sort of bad that I didn't create more of a theme for this six-week challenge thing. I'm in Day 1 of Week 5, and so far I'm bombing pretty much every goal I gave myself except for the curl 20 pounds for 3 sets of 10 and possibly lose a total of 2 inches off my entire body. I took beginning measurements, but I haven't taken any since then. ( Read more... )

It's incredibly hard to type when there's a cat jumping between you, around the mattress, back to you, and then launching herself onto the nearest bedside table. Just FYI ( Read more... )

Wow, I've been gone from LJ for a while. How's everyone doing?

( numerical lists ahoy! )

The ankle situation is feeling a tad bit better. I did day 1 of a gym restart which involved six miles on the stationary bike in thirity minutes and a fifteen minute sit in the sauna. I'm also starting a 30 day squat challenge and a 30 day push-up challenge. You start off with 50 squats and 30 push-ups (I'm a weenie: all push-ups are done ( Read more... )

Okay, so last goals I posted? Yeaaaah, I'm an overachiever. 4:45 AM rolled around and all I did was turn the alarm to 6:15...then 6:30...then 6:45... I did manage to get back to the gym and I've gone every single day right after work (or as soon as the gym opens on the weekends) since ( Read more... )

I keep on forgetting that Izzy is still a kitten. She's gone on a growth spurt in the month that I've had her: I've caught her stretched out doagonally on the sofa and the tips of her paws touch one end of a cushion and the end of her tail hangs off the other end. She's almost as long as Boots was when she was an adult (or maybe Boots was just a ( Read more... )
