Exercise

Downs

  • My brain was feeling very foggy this afternoon so I delayed working on some complicated reports I was planning to create.

Ups

  • Since last week when I was sick, I haven’t been exercising. I would have exercised Monday except our schedule was off due to Presidents Day. However, I finally got back on my exercise routine yesterday.
  • I also managed to clean the upper level of the house with time to spare. Like exercise, I slacked off with my normal chores last week and it feels good to start getting on top of things again.

Calvin Moment

  • I think Calvin’s first word is going to be “ditty” (kitty, except he can’t say the k sound). He might even be saying it now, I can’t tell for sure. In any case, he adores the cats and always starts talking excitedly when one of them appears. Calvin was in the bath today when 5 came looking for some attention. He had a hair brush in his hand and happily banged her head a couple of times with it before I caught him. He’s still too young to understand what “gentle” means. Fortunately, 5 is the child-friendly cat so she took his affectionate abuse in stride.

Simplification

  • Got rid of some empty boxes that had been cluttering up our living room.

Food Diary

  • Breakfast – Oatmeal with banana and soy milk.
  • Lunch – Leftover Garbanzo and Couscous Salad, dried apricots, and 2 large cookies
  • Afternoon snack – A small piece of chocolate
  • Supper – Mac & Cheese and Broccoli & Carrots (I made extra of the vegetables for Calvin’s breakfast tomorrow)
  • Evening Treat: 1 piece of dark chocolate
