I Can See More Clearly (When I have Coffee in Me)

My 2 cats Addie and Sadie have a bit of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde personality. There are times that they can be especially sweet (well, when they want to sit on my lap and I want them to sit on my lap.), and then there are times where my thoughts are You are going to be the death of me! (Like when they are meowing and pawing at my door an hour before I have to get up in the morning, or chewing on my laptop cord). I keep my my wireless cords in my bedroom, b/c both of my cats have a habit of chewing on cords, especially when they are hungry or not getting enough attention (Yes, they're like dogs.). Hence the reason they paw at my door. Sadie will meow, b/c she wants attention (she's not the food-a-holic). When Addie starts meowing, it's b/c she wants to be fed. Sadie must have been feeling neglected, b/c she meowed at my door when I went to bed, woke me up at 1 a.m., meowing at my door, and then this morning about an hour and a half before I had to get up, she was meowing again!. I'm seriously thinking of investing in an automatic feeder (the electric kind-- the other kind they would go nuts over and make themselves sick b/c of eating too much!).


All I can say is, Thank Goodness for Coffee!! My morning routine has gotten pretty much set where, I wait till I drink my coffee until I get to school. Since it got cold, it's hard to drink coffee when you're wearing gloves! But it also means I have a 10 minute drive where I'm a bit "foggy." I really wish coffee didn't make feel that much better after I drank it, b/c it means that my body needs it. Today is going to be an extremely hard day, temptation wise, b/c it is the last day before Christmas break-- there is going to be tons of food around-- I've been actually pretty lucky that I've missed out on all the treats up till now-- I guess the advantage of being at 2 buildings, and not being in the right place at the right time!


I was not feeling too motivated to work out last night, but I persisted and went-- 15 min on the treadmill, 15 min on the stairmaster, and 15 min on the stationary bike. I hope to work on running during the break, b/c I so want to get back to doing it. I ran for 5 min at 4.5, and then walked the last 5 minutes. During the break, I'll have a week where I won't have access to a gym. So, hello cold weather walking! Hopefully it won't be too cold (or snowy) to not get out.
