Im still having fairly significant sleeping issues. I hadn't been feeling great this week, and last night I was so beat that I went to bed at 9:30. I actually probably was asleep just after 10, which was nice. However, I woke up at 1:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. I tried and tried...finally I got up about 3:15 and started some laundry and then decided to go on a walk. I knew the heat was going to be stiffling, and it would be my only chance to get out there today. Not too long after I started my walk, I hear a kitten meowing and he comes up to me wanting to play. I'm not really a cat person, but the kitten kicks ass. He's pure black and super affectionate without being annoying, if that makes any sense. Poor thing is skin and bones. So, I let him follow me back home and he just kept purring, and while we sat outside he jumped up on my lap. Of course, I loved it, but was totally worried about fleas and stuff like that. I kept him outside, and went in and made him oatmeal (instant maple and brown sugar) as I had nothing else. I also got him a bowl of water. He got into my house as I tried to slip back in and ran down to the basement. He was good and let me take him back out, though. The little guy finally got distracted, so I was able to take off for me walk. I got a nice hour and a half in or so. Of course, when I returned the poor cat was still there. He just sat out on our Captain's chair meowing at me and Brian through the window. He's so damn cute.
It was hot, hot, hot today: 105 w/ heat index of 115. It's 7:15 now, and it's still 99 (problems and a bitch ain't one). And work continues to be absolutely crazy. I haven't had time to get through inventory this week, so I really had to be out of my air conditioned office and in the shop today. I don't think I've ever been that sticky, with my clothes on :) Work has really been kicking my ass this week, but I feel good about it. It's a great feeling to know that I'm an actual contributor in a lot of ways.
For the most part, my diet has been pretty good this week. I know it's not perfect, but I feel great all the way around. I've been getting a lot of green juice and smoothies in. Yesterday, I had all juice, smoothie, small homemade bowl of bean soup and an wheat English muffin. That's the best I've eaten in a long time. I've really cut down on my soda consumption, as well. Today I've had 2...but I have been up since 1:30. For being up so long, I actually feel pretty good right now. I hope that's not a bad sign for tonight. I'm really hoping I can crash in a big way and stay crashed.
I've got some Chocolate Mousse (see recipe) chilling in the fridge. I hadn't made in quite some time. I licked the spoon and it's tasted mighty yummy. Hopefully it'll be chilled any moment. I'm desperately craving some choc :) At least I don't have to feel bad about this one, though.
BTW....the cat is still here. He now thinks our garage is his home. We bought him some canned cat food (he's so little, I don't know that he could eat hard) and he mowed down that can of food. Poor kitty! I really wish we could keep him, but the I know the new house doesn't allow for cats. Hopefully I can find him a home somehow....
Anyway, I'm feeling good, and hope you all are too.
Much Love,
Jen
