Day 51 (only 33 days left = 1 month)

I made my appointment for my sono. It will be tomorrow. I don't know how long it takes to get the results back...they'll probably come back while I'm out of town. On the plus side, if I have to switch to optihealth, I'll be able to eat again and my dreams of eating a toco will be that much closer! Mmm, tacos.

I'm starting to get tired of the pickles I eat as my treat each week. I'm ready for something new. I can eat the same thing for a long time, but I'm beginning to think that 2 months is my limit for the monotonous repetition. Part of eating food is looking forward to the new flavors and experiences that different foods give you, and I'm missing out on that. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I've been having food fantasies again. I was doing really well there for the last couple of weeks, but now I'm back into my thinking about food mode again.

On a sillier side, I've been trying to get Lorne to loose weight with me (especially since 20 pounds of cat on the chest is really heavy). We've been walking (he's really lazy so it's mostly rolling in the dirt and less walking) and I've reduced the amount of food I give him. I weighed him the other day and he's still 19 pounds. I keep telling him that only 5 minutes of walking will make a positive change in his life, but he doesn't listen to me. In fact, I think he's reduced his amount of daily movement as his chow supply has decreased. There has been a marked increase in laziness and meowing. I don't know how successful Lorne will be with my goals for him; and he's going to Grandma and Grandpa's house next week and I have a sneaking suspicion that spoiling will be done. I guess all else fails, I can always use Lorne as an electric blanket.

I think the weather may also be a leading factor in the cat laziness. Number Six, who is usually actively trying to kill something, has been laying around and meowing a lot. The other day I was watching her outside and noticed that she was moving with the shade of the tree as opposed to her usual movement to lie in the sun.
