Oh my God! Just had the scariest couple of minutes! I get home from work, and I’m eating dinner, and I hear this awful noise. I see that it’s my cat on the floor making a terrible noise that I have never heard before. Flash back to ten minutes earlier when I see that my cat is playing with one of my tiny little hair clips. I don’t know how she finds them, but they are her favorite toy ever. I went to pick it up earlier, but felt bad taking it away. She’s been home alone for 15 hours, and so out of guilt let her keep it. Now it looks like she is choking on it!! This is why I am nervous about living alone. Times like this. There I was thinking that I just lost my boyfriend, and now I’m going to lose the cat. I was thinking, how was I going to tell my boyfriend that I killed the cat 4 days into living alone??? Then, a great thing happened. I looked into the corner, and there was the stupid hair clip!!! Of course, I’m still kind of freaked about not knowing why she was making that sound. Hairball maybe? I’ve seen cats have hairballs, but never her. Oh well, she seems ok now. Just gonna keep a close eye on her.
Anyway, I worked 7am - 7pm today. I ate better. Can’t believe that I’ve had trouble getting in enough calories this week! Obviously, the opposite is usually the problem. Here’s my food for the day.

Just took a break from typing. I talked to my man on the phone. It’s so hard. Someday I will tell you all the full story. Not ready for that yet. It’s heartbreaking for me. I won’t get to talk to him again until Monday. This sucks bad. How did my life get so complicated???
PS … does anyone know how to give a kitty the heimlich??? LOL
