Special day

Oct. 16 was the fourth anniversary of my kitty moving in with me. I’m so very glad he did.

I’m trying the Hollywood Cookie Diet. Four cookies for breakfast and lunch. I can do it for breakfast, but at lunch, I need to eat something besides the cookies. So the diet half-works. Better than not at all.

I’m also trying Dexatrim to see if it actually works. So far, it really seems to be curbing my appetite. But maybe it’s just a placebo effect.

Pen pals

I’m writing to soldiers again (had adopted a soldier a while back, but quit cuz it got too costly). This time I found groups where you don’t need to send care packages. (Which I can’t afford.) Just letters. Gives me a good reason to use my cool new stationery…

Having fun in San Diego

I’m visiting some friends in San Diego, and having a blast so far. Last night we went to a club downtown to see a good ’80s cover band, and I wasn’t driving so I could get good and drunk (but not drunk enough to have a hangover – yay). This weekend we are also going to the Wild Animal Park and a winery. So it will be a full weekend, and one I don’t want to end.

Meanwhile, I have decided to be just friends with Mr. NY. We have differing philosophies about how obligatory our chats are, plus I want to give him the option to have kids, and I don’t really want them. I thought I would grudgingly agree to have kids with the right person, but I’ve reconsidered that.

Disenchantment

Well, Mr. NY is letting me down. He missed a prearranged online chat session Sunday night. No explanation. And he is acting as if he is not getting any of the displeased e-mails I have sent him, including one in which I said I didn’t think we would work out if he couldn’t be counted on to keep his promises. (This is the second chat session he has missed.) He is still e-mailing me all happy and breezy and obliviously. So I tried sending him a message from one of my other e-mail addresses – we’ll see if he gets THAT one. Grrrr. I thought I had broken free of him, but he doesn’t seem to be getting the message – literally!

Giving up on leash-training kitty

Filed under: Uncategorized — by purrrplej @ 11:18 pm

My little Murray has decided that he will not be leash-trained. When I put his walking jacket on him, he will just lie down in one spot and not move until I take the jacket off. So I’m going to return it. Too bad.

Meanwhile, the NY guy is letting me down. He didn’t show up for a prearranged online chat last night. No explanation. So I don’t think he and I are compatible – I need someone I can count on to keep his promises. I think I’m going to just ixnay the whole dating thing and concentrate on my cat. At least he is reliable.
