Given the lament that goes with my every thought of the hot tub, should I get rid of it? Or at least, drain it and leave it idle for awhile?
I want to be bothered by fewer injuries. I want to keep playing sports. Which do I want more?

I finally finished a 700 page book on treating depression with cognitive behavioural therapy with the last part about drug therapies for depression. It was a long and arduous read. Phew!

I wore my gloves every time I went out side on my errand run this morning, rather than my usual tactic of saying "I'll only be outside for a few seconds" and consequently freezing my hands again.
I talked myself out of executing another pointlessly daring parking lot maneuver that was completely unnecessary.

How do I regain the positive outlook that worked so well for me in late 2011, but escaped me early in 2012 and hasn't been seen since?
Is it just me or is it cold in my house?

The price of gas has dropped again.
My remote start upgrade has fixed my chronic complaint with my truck in the winter.
I got spiked in the foot, and the calf, as well as twisted my knee again but despite it all still managed to run 1.93 miles in tonight's 11:15 soccer game.

Andi
I’m pretty sure there’s something wrong with Andi. At the same time I can’t really pinpoint how
I know this, what it means, or how to resolve it. The only concrete symptoms I can point out is
she hasn’t eaten anything (or so it appears to me) in two days. Nor is she drinking any water or the milk I
put out for her. So my time of concrete
symptoms is relatively short. But call
it intuition, or whatever you want, but I’m just sensing that something is
wrong.
She has one other symptom.
Her body heaves like she’s breathing hard, but at the same time if you
look at her face she doesn’t appear to be panting. I don’t know what that means but its
definitely not usual.
I am frustrated. I
got a sense of premonition that began during Christmas holidays. Something seemed amiss, but I couldn’t nail
it down. She was eating ‘less’ but it
wasn’t nothing. At first I chalked it up
to the fact that I had to buy her different cat food. There was no Kitty Chow on the shelf when I
went to the grocery store, so I picked something new. I told myself that maybe the diminished
eating was just a disinterest in the new food.
The perplexing part is she goes from appearing to be really
straining, to periods of appearing fine.
Just the other day (Wednesday or Thursday) she was energetic enough to
climb the shelves behind me that go to the ceiling, and knock stuff on the
floor. Now she’s sitting on my desk, her
little body pulsing, and she gives me these sad eyes like I need to do
something.
I don’t know what to do.
If it was something clear cut I would do it immediately. But I look at her, her eyes appearing scared
and unsure of what’s happening, and I can’t console her. She wants to sit on my lap again, like she
was doing before and during Christmas.
Now she can’t sit there for 30 seconds before she gets up and walks back
on the desk. I try to pick her up and
she just fusses until I put her down.
I hope that I can take her to the vet tomorrow. And I hope that there’s some kind of solution
to her distress. Because it pains me to
know that she needs me to do something, and I really have no clue what could
make her feel better.

In addition to generally being solicitous of my kitty today, I also went to the store and got her some wet cat food, in hopes that she would eat something.

I really enjoyed the turkey with bacon salad that I conjured up in my own kitchen.
We won the ball hockey game handily and it was a good way to get my mind off things.
