@shanaber Yes I'm really glad did had decided to take care of her weight, take some classes and chat with me more than usual. I think she has an online boyfriend... Or boyfriend. He seems to be encouraging her. I take it he's in California. No idea the dets there, she's not open to sharing. Tomorrow is her birthday and he's sent her an iPhone (used) as she needs a new phone. I won't buy one for her. I'd just be enabling her. 24 tomorrow, work for what you want.

Unrelated vent.
Our oldest male cat is on thin ice. He's dd's childhood pet and she's very attached to him. I'm ready for him to go. Guess it'll be another vet visit asking for meds for him. He's attacking my "baby" cat that decided to hang outside when monster showed up. They are fine together now. I'd like to Kevorkian the old male. And I caught him peeing on a couch blanket yesterday. He's outside. With a bowl of food. Hell if I'm letting him back in ever. So I'm up at 430 having had to diffuse one such attack and slept horribly. I'm a light sleeper so dh up reading wakes me. (Nap today). Baby monster is 4.5 months old, he gets neutered next week. He's a gem. I'd hoped the old male was responding to the possibility of male hormones, but baby monster is still such a baby, no male aggression or such behavior. Vet visit. Maybe I can Xanax the old cat.

Food? I don't know. Dh got a loaded tater yesterday at my request. I ate half of it and gave the rest to the dogs. I'm tired. My leg hurts, (aches). Cat tacos maybe?

Wow @quilteryoyo ! 3 pounds! Nice!

I got a nap. Now I'm lazy. All cats are outside playing nicely with each other. Swear the old male has a brain tumor or something. He's just unpredictable. He can be that way outside.

Dh is put of coffee creamer and corn chips so he's gone shopping alone. I just can't bring myself to gimp around Walmart. So, he'll probably bring home junk.

More brain study today. I thought brains were boring, just fatty blobs. But they are pretty cool actually (thanks to YouTube).

@rheddmobile what temp and how long do you bake the apples? I love baked apples.

Today's dd's birthday. So I had cake, steak, and a tater.

I think seasonal allergies got me. I was running a low grade fever most of the day, until I gave in and took some Tylenol. I shut the house up and have the AC on to help.

I'm taking a study break today. I've filled my days with so much brain, I dream of brain. Which is exactly what I want. So, fingers crossed I ace the final tomorrow.

I got out of the house today for the first time in 6 days. I was a little peeved at dh for expecting me to break my streak. Suppose it was all fine. Our priest bikes and runs, I told him I wanted to do the HHH* with him some day. He seemed cheery over it. I wonder how one becomes that person that embraces everyone and can find a way to connect with random folks. It couldn't be an act, right? it's his job. Why chose a job you'd hate (and can't um, have relations-most men live for those)? I told dh I'm socially broken and just embrace it. He said thats a cop-out. Suppose I can put that on the list of things to improve upon (at the bottom, on the back page).

My leg hurts.
Hip really feel like labrum. I broke down today and cried about it just as I was telling dh about it, as we pulled up to church. Thankfully, there was an older guy facing the raised flower bed with his hand in his pocket and back turned to me. It looked like he was relieving himself. Can't get worked up over what if when men pee at the church flower/urinal.

So that's my wah wah update.

*HHH Is hotter-n-hell hundred. 100 mile bike race/ride in Texas in August.

Thanks @quilteryoyo. My hip is less grumpy today and I feel like I let something bother me that was unwarranted. Oh the joys of being female.

Today’s food? I’m avoiding the left over cake. I’ll probably make some tostadas or the thin ribeye with a vegetable, think there’s asparagus still. It’ll be pickled I think. Dd had a giant jar of pickles and laid it down after opening it, it leaked and the entire fridge smells like pickles. Could be worse.

Last minute studying today. Nothing ever really sticks the day of an exam but I’m hoping since I’ve over studied, it’ll put more pieces together, add a layer. I’m stalling.

I can walk with one crutch fairly well. I thought maybe after finals I could add some long slow walking with the crutch. It’s tedious, but I have some cabin fever.

Ok, come here brain book...

Ate so much cake today. I just celebrated standing on one leg and had cake. Then felt good about brain final —> cake. Now I want easy to grab sugar, more cake. I better watch it or my next doc visit will be “maybe lose a bit and the hip won’t hurt so much”.

Psych exam tomorrow. I should have an a weather or not I take it. So... no pressure. I should celebrate by swimming or baking apples or something other than sugar. Dang American culture. Baking apples sounds amazing btw. Ohh if I do a Walmart order now, I can grab it after dropping the baby monster off to be neutered and cook apples while I do the psych exam. Perfect.
