Day One: New Habits

A walk, first thing this morning. Before coffee, before looking in the mirror. It had rained overnight so it was cool, gray and very quiet. As I walked, it seemed the bicycles were faster, the cars slower, the birds louder and colors more vibrant. A great way to start my day. Remember that.

I dreamed last night I had three giant hams in the refrigerator; my daughter sent me a package of bright blue lacy beans and a bunch of peeled carrots. The ham was disgusting. I was working on trying to get an art show installed, brought from Chicago. I sat on a sofa and smoked a joint with one of the managers helping me get the show, which was a very long (as in 50 yards or so) canvas. My LipSense lipstick made the end of the joint bright red.

Reality: my daughter did send me a bag of beans for Mother's Day but I haven't opened it yet. I know how much she loves her bean club, so for her to send me a bag of them is especially meaningful. No, I won't cook them with ham!

I met Jennifer for a glass of wine and a burger last night at Fleming's. She was exhausted from her week of jury duty. It was an early night for both of us.

I'm working on teaching my cat to love the automatic cat feeder. We're both still learning. My goal is for her to not wake me up at 6 a.m. for food and to not sit on the counter when she's hungry. During the day, she runs to the feeder when she hears it open up and then is very cautious until she can smell the food. So far she is not hearing it at 6 a.m. (only two mornings).

CAT UPDATE
She has an afternoon meal scheduled for 3:00. Today at 2:58 she got up from her nap, went over and sat in front of the feeder to wait. Wow!
