And then I decided to talk about my cat rather than Angela’s Journey…

2–3 minutes

Let’s Discuss

This girl is such a character. She is always trying to bait me into play fighting with her or getting out a toy on a string for her to hunt. She will sidewind while walking to tell me she wants me to attack so she can play back.

I think my favorite (although slightly annoying) thing that she does is when she will scratch at the bedroom door, sit there and stare at me when I open it, and insist I follow her out to the kitchen or living room so we can play.

When I work during the day, she sleeps on my bed next to my computer setup. When I get up to grab a snack or get a drink, she gets up to use the litter box, eat, and get a drink. Then she follows me back to the bedroom and takes her place on the bed for more napping.

This morning, she was losing her darn mind, insisting she needed to be in the bedroom. After my boyfriend got out of the shower, he let her in and she was freaking insane. She was begging for all the pets, crawling all over my body (I wasn’t upright yet), and just excited that we were alive.

She makes my world just that much better.

Let’s Discuss

I am notorious for eating my emotions (all of them). I eat when I am extra happy. I eat when I am sad. Well, the past week and a half, I have been doing exactly that. I haven’t been motivated to stay on track because I have had so many emotions swirling in me that food was just so darn comforting.

I have been making strides to get back on track the last couple of days. I have derailed a little, but I am making the necessary effort to regain that focus.

Last week I skipped out on my journey update because I had so much going on. I regret that now. I need to maintain my focus.
