Day 260/365 (April 3, 2015)

Went into work even though it should have been a holiday but whatever... I did get a bunch of stuff done. Then I went to Trader Joe's to get the stuff i needed for baking. This was the second time I was in an out super quick!

I got home and began my Easter baking fun. I made chocolate cakes, toasted coconut, banana pudding cheesecake. I also made cupcakes and ate way too much of the scraps from leveling the cake. At one point I had a Kit Kat emergency and had to run to Duane Reade to get enough of them to finish the cake. I decorated the Kit Kat cake with salted caramel and toasted coconut, as well as coconut dyed green to look like grass.

I tried editing the stupid video again and failed... finally went to bed. I also had some kitty cuddles with Fred.

Day 231/365 (March 5, 2015)

Guess what? It is snowing again! I am not angry or bitter because I am looking forward to Florida next week! It is the little things!

I headed home after work and just watched TV to catch up on the DVR. I also accidentally took two tiny naps!  Fred and Charlie were so sweet sleeping together and Fred gave me good cuddles as I tried to fall asleep.

Day 230/365 (March 4, 2015)

Fred tried waking me up again but this time he finally gave up and I fell back asleep and woke up to him sleeping next to me... progress!

I also did something completely impulsive which I am excited about and freaking out about all the same... I am going to Universal Studios next week! Wizarding World of Harry Potter here I come! I do however feel incredibly guilty that Sasha can't come. Karen and I asked her if she could but figured she wouldn't be able to because of her job... we were right but I still feel unbelievably bad but the timing and price were right. Wouldn't have been able to do this over a weekend. I just need out of the miserable NY weather. Of course I am freaking out and started my list!

Spent the rest of the night eating and watching TV, including seeing Kyle Dean's first episode of Nashville! so cool to see!

Charlie did some cuddling and et me put stuff on him.

Day 228/365 (March 2, 2015)

so little sleep got in at 3 am no sleep until almost 4:30... then Fred woke me up crying at 7:30. It is so hard to ignore his terrorist demands but I can't give him because he needs to stop doing this. I somehow got myself into the office by 9:30 and say Hand to God loading in on my way. I made it through until 5! Then I went home and helped Karen make more cauliflower fried "rice" which was delicious!

I had wanted to go out to see Rachel Potter's CD release show but it was at 8:30 down at Rockwood and I was just so tired I didn't think it was a good idea to go out late. I ended up watching The Following and it was lovely to see Hunter Parrish on it! I however am conflicted because I have an abusive relationship with this show... I Keep loving it and it keeps hurting me. I also got really upset with Sasha because she took a movie I set to record off so she could record a show that will freaking be on demand! Whereas the movie is NOT on demand and had no additional air dates so I am pretty ticked off about that. Especially since Karen helped her do it and said she told her i wanted it to record and went through a bunch of effort to make sure her shows were going to record.

I went to bed well before midnight which was much needed, but before I fell asleep Fred and Charlie started fighting over me. It has been established over the last couple months Fred sleeps at my feet in the bed corner, and Charlie sleeps in the bend of my knees or feet to the left of them. Well Charlie dared to take Fred's spot at the corner so Fred started swatting at him and Charlie was holing strong. Then finally they gave way to chase through the apartment before finally settling in in their proper locations, but I did get some good Fred shoulder cuddles first!

Day 222/365 (February 24, 2015)

It was a long day at work, but got lots done! I also spent the day on baby watch... Ania went into labor... still waiting!

Then I came home and didn't do too much except watch TV, hang with the kitties, and make a birthday card for someone. I was pretty proud of how it turned out!

I love waking up to Fred and Charlie cuddled with me, and Charlie was being extra cute.

Also during the day I got two random texts that just made me super happy! The first was from Travis telling me that after I had left training last night one of the other trainers told him they could see how much stronger I have gotten. The place I go is very small and the clients are usually different but there is usually the same group of other trainers there so it is nice to get some outside validation!

The other text I got was from MKC saying that Clark had noticed and pointed out pictures of me on FB so he just wanted to tell me he thought I looked awesome an was really happy for me. Considering I just got back to a place of feeling good about myself again I have been a little shaky and to see something like that is something that helps keep me focused to remember why I started to make these life changes. I like to feel good about myself, an feel good internally/health wise. I really hate feeling crappy and sludgy and I love food I really do but certain foods are not worth the yucky feeling they give on the inside.  But back to the point it was nice to hear that from him and then catch up a bit.

Day 122/365 (November 16, 2014)

well today sucked to say the least. I already knew it was going to be a rough day because of what the anniversary is but things got really bad. I couldn't think of an activity to do during the day so all i wanted to do was basically stay in bed and watch TV all day, maybe catch up on the DVR. Cuddle with Fred and Charlie, but instead I got put smack dab in the middle of a roomie quarrel. I won't get too much into it here because this is public but not cool.
