It's "Friday" For Me

Today is my "Friday," since I'm taking Thursday and the real Friday off. Monday is a holiday for most provinces in Canada, so the five consecutive days will be nice. The "fleas" (kids) next door are still away for the moment, so I hope to have at least the rest of this week with peace and quiet. It's going to be exponentially harder for me and the boys to endure the screaming obscenities/pounding/slamming doors when they return, but...one day at a time!

Nicki has a vet appointment tomorrow at 10:30AM, for a check and for his anal glands. The "new" clinic. He won't be impressed, but maybe I'll give him some Zylkene (natural calming product/capsule) an hour before we go, to help take the edge off. He usually goes berserk in the carrier.

I've really ramped up the walking lately, in an effort to burn a few extra calories, but am having difficulties with the right foot again. So I have to face the reality that I won't ever be able to walk as much as I could before the plantar fasciitis. That sucks, though it could be far worse.

I've started tracking my caloric intake and exercise, though, on myfitnesspal.com, and it's rather scary, this new awareness. It's good, but quite a reality check. No wonder I'm so heavy! I think the powers that be are trying to keep us all fat and unhealthy, because there's sugar and sodium in everything. Especially sugar. I've not had a day yet where I'm under my target for sugar intake. Granted, most of the sugar is coming from "healthy" sources such as fresh berries, yogurt and raw honey, but sugar is sugar. 

The pre-menopausal thing doesn't help either!

I guess I'd best get back to my spreadsheet. I'm dragging my heels because it's just so much fun, fun, fun. LOL.

Have a great day, a joy-full day if you can, or at least a thank-full day. I'm doing my best to remember the words of the minister at the church a few weeks ago, about some things that seem like a curse actually being a blessing.  :-)

Purrs from the boys and peace from me.
