it's blog time!

Today I found 2 of my friend’s blogs that I didn’t know existed and it made me jealous. Ugh.. I write.. so why am I not writing? Well, I got out of the habit. Plus, I think I’ve been afraid that I don’t have things to write about… but that’s just baloney… so there! I’m writing… catch me if you can.

I’m at work. Probability is that most of these blogs will be written while at work. I’m going to try to update and weekly and see how it goes.

Ok.. so where am I at?! Well, that changes daily. Yesterday, I was riding a bit of a bummer. I am going through a break up w/ previously mentioned dude-guy. And I’m still riding the wave of good days and bad days from that, but today I happen to be on an “up wave,” despite work being crazy busy, and anticipating dude guy coming in to work in the next hour or so (yeah, we work together… sucky, huh?)

Anyway, there are mega good things going on to be happy about! For starters, my cat Dinah, is taking to toilet training quickly. Right now she uses a make-shift litterbox, made out of a distorted aluminum turkey pan, placed above the toilet bowl, under the toilet seat and filled with litter. I won’t change up things on her for at least another few weeks, than phase 2 begins! Phase 2 includes a platform (made out of something sturdy, still haven’t figured it out yet). With a smallish hole in the middle in which Ms. Dinah can scratch at some litter and hopefully successfully position herself over the hole to do some pooing. The research I’ve done suggests that they usually miss… and Phase 2 is the stinkiest and most difficult of the phases. So, I have that to look forward to. The rest of the phases include gradually making the hole in the platform larger and reducing the amount of litter in the bowl until… VOILA! No need for the platform or the bowl… and you’ve got a people-toilet using cat. This is the goal w/ Dinah! I am confident that she will come through!

Other stuffs going on; I’ve been really into yoga lately! I love it. Although, I have to admit, my backs been feeling a little cruddy. It’s all those backbends and weird twists and stuff. But I am pretty careful with my form so I don’t hurt myself. But I think this is just the normal aches that come with bending in ways that are awkward and unfamiliar. I’m definitely going to take it easy, but when I got into yoga, I jumped in with both feet. Immediately I was doing it 3-4 times a week, so of course my body is going to have to adjust. Anyway, anyway… I do love yoga. I’m glad it’s come into my life.

So, Carmel comes tomorrow. Yes, I’m very excited! I love playing PDX tour guide. I have some fun ideas of what to do and I just hope it’s not too hot to do them (it’s supposed to be upper 90’s/100 all week)

Ok.. that’s all. I WILL WRITE AGAIN NEXT WEEK SO HELP ME GOD. It is imperative to my growth as a writer. That’s all.
