Friday: dreams

I keep dreaming about doing chores. Which is annoying not only because I'm doing chores in my dreams, but they still aren't done in real life.

Thursday: turtle diagrams

I've been in training the last two days. At one point yesterday we learned about turtle diagrams. The instructor said, "This is a turtle diagram, for obvious reasons." However, I would like to say that it is not obvious. I mean sure, there is a turtle in the middle. But why a turtle? We'll also notice that three legs are inputs and one leg is an output, so there isn't even continuity with that.

It has seriously bothered me for two days now.

Wednesday: food

It seemed as though everything interesting today centered around food. I had a donut for breakfast this morning (yay) but then threw it up. Then Flurry threw up her food.

I had some delicious bread and homemade jam for a snack, but then dropped the last bite on the floor. I was in training all day and so they gave us lunch, and while eating a big wind gust gusted and knocked my red HiC on someone's pants and lost the last two bites of sandwich to the ground.

On the upside of food, some friends from NY came by for the night! We went out for dinner, visited the beach, and stopped for ice cream. It was nice to see some familiar faces again.

Tuesday: M&Ms

A few weeks ago Ben put a few normal M&Ms in the Cheerio box. I found them yesterday. It was exciting and delicious...much better than getting a little toy in the box.

Sunday: normal weekend

This weekend was the first weekend in a while that felt normal. A nice amount of chores got completed...more than have been completed in a while but about the normal amount that used to get done before we both got sick. And the kitchen is clean! And we have the new sheets on the bed!

Saturday: Flurry's new food

Flurry used to get this food. I liked it because she seemed to be able to regulate herself on eating it. Once in a while she would eat all of it, but most of the time there was a little bit left the next day, so I knew she wasn't starving and that she was a smart cat and wouldn't get herself fat.

Then Flurry started having some small problems, so the vet recommended hairball control food. She loves this food. She eats her daily allotment within the first hour. She's chewed open the ziplock that we keep some food in twice. She looks at her food bowl with sad eyes whenever we're in the kitchen.

I don't know whether to be happy that we've found a food that she likes or sad because it now takes more work to keep her from overeating.

Friday: baby update

I finally had my doctor's appointment today. I'm supposed to be eating more vegetables, but besides that everything went well. The heart rate was 165 and the baby kicked once to let us know we were invading its privacy.
