Reflection #2

Good news! I didn't lose my head today.

That always makes for a good day.

No, seriously, my neck has been killing me lately, getting tense and stiff for no reason. I'm not stressed about anything, or at least I don't think I am, so I can't figure out why it's been bothering me. I went to the chiropractor today and it snapped rather vociferously; thus, I am thankful that I still have a head attached to my shoulders. And that my neck is no longer causing me so much pain. Maybe it will stay that way for a while.

Today we took an impromptu trip to visit some old neighbors of ours who have been raising a few rescued kittens. I've been thinking a lot about getting a kitten of my own. I've always really wanted one, and now just seems like the right time, because they're so therapeutic, and I really need something to love (and something that needs me). Roffles, our first cat, the cat that I convinced Dad to bring home, doesn't like me anymore, probably since I disappeared for half the year. So, I'm a little hurt (*sniff sniff*), and I told her I was going to replace her. :P Anyway, seriously, I've been really wanting a companion...and now seems like a good time. Mom and Dad will take it if I end up moving to some faraway place where I can't have a cat, so I don't have to worry about that. Fiyero will have a playmate, and then Roffles will have a...well, either she'll have a playmate, or she'll have a toy. Or an arch-nemesis. But hopefully a playmate. I didn't really click with either one of the cats we saw today though. Garfield was super playful and had a great personality, and Smoky Joe was a beautiful, cuddly Russian Blue, but neither of them really captured me. Mom said I'd know when I found "the one". Funny, she said the same thing about my husband. 0_o Hmmm.

Church was great tonight, but I'm still processing. I'll have to get back to you with my thoughts on that after I've slept on them for the night. All the yummy warm Indian food leftovers are in my belly and telling me it's time to sleep. I'll have to post those recipes...they were super delicious. Anyway, first day of school tomorrow. I'm really off now.
