Our Snowshoe Siamese was like that and we always kept fresh water in a heavy tumbler on the top of the toilet tank for him. His sister would drink there too. But when we lost him two years ago she stopped drinking water there. She's too elderly to jump up very far now and just uses the water fountain.
You find the cutest memes, thanks for posting them!
Hi, all your meals and exercise sound great. And the baby goat pics, oh my...so much cuteness!
QOTD: A teeny bite of shark in a Chinese restaurant in Germany-yuck. Or mutton breakfast sausage...uh, it's an acquired taste and I'm not going to try to acquire it. I ended up canning it in 8 oz jars and will hide it in the next vat of spaghetti-meat sauce that I can.
Got the best exercise in ages going to the plastic surgeon today. It was a walk downhill in heels (idiot) from the parking lot to the front entrance and back uphill to my car after. He thinks he can repair my nose with some cartilage from one of my ears I've never been afraid of a surgery till now. But he's young and does noses different from how it was years and years ago so it will be fine. After I get to goal I'm going to pursue an eyelid job with my insurance and save up money to get the jowls cooked up tighter. Probably a pipe dream but a fun one anyway.
Had to get photos today and wouldn't you know it, a skeeter got my left eyelid yesterday. I look like a prizefighter, lol.
Breakfast: chocolate protein/collagen shake. Finished it at 1 so no lunch
Snack: 5 cashews
Dinner: 1/2 cup ff cottage cheese, 1 zucchini sauteed ff, 2 oz grilled chicken. Might be 1/2 oz. Pouchie not liking it.
Maybe a pm snack? 1/2 c ff cottage cheese w/a sprinkle of sf jello powder.
When I was young I would have tried anything but could not afford to do that. I was always skirmish about things like a fish with head on and would send it back for them to remove the head before I ate it. I could not stand to eat anything that still had eyes looking at me.
When I could buy anything I wanted, I no longer wanted to try exotic foods. I am perfectly happy with a piece of halibut or salmon. The last thing I had that was not a usual meal was oxtail soup at a bed and breakfast and years ago.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
QOTD- Not adventurous at all, I don't eat meat but do eat fish and shrimp.
I had a long talk with my boss yesterday. He is so supportive and helpful. He understands my issues and told me to go ahead and make mistakes. We can always correct them. I've been so afraid to move forward. But he made it OK. So I need to get to work.
Love the goats, baby goats make my day!
I lowered my desk and I'm not sure I like it. I also now have a vertical mouse that is good. Trying not to have my wrist ache so much.
I saw my surgeon yesterday and my wrist is good, I should be able to do anything with it. I have one more PT session next week. Some things aggravate it, but mostly it doesn't ache all the time like it used to.
Have a great day everyone!

That is so true. Vee my girl kitty will only drink out of a water glass in the bathroom. She lets me know she is thirsty by standing on her back legs and pawing at the sink cabinet. So of course I indulge her and fill the glass. She prefers her water fresh and cold. Not that she is at all spoiled.

Good Morning! Love the pics of the cute goats. We are getting a break in the over 100 degree temps (high 80's) and hopefully it stays that way for the weekend so my A/C can catch a break. Not much on my agenda for today which is nice because I do need to catch up on a few things and also meet with my team members.
QOTD: I am not adventerous at all, I don't even eat much seafood.
Menu is same as yesterday and I took a rest day bu****er and vits are on track.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning, everyone!
I feel like this week is passing by really slowly. Maybe because Marilyn and my youngest are away. I'm back in the office today, and I need to go to CrossFit tonight, maybe that will make it go by faster.
I swam at lunch yesterday and it was just a wonderful break to be outside and in the water on a sunny summer day. As a plus, the noon lap swim isn't nearly as crowded as the 5:30.
I asked Marilyn if she got some rest and she said she stayed up way too late streaming Ballard which is a new spin-off of Bosch. She did get into the pool and said it was very refreshing.
QOTD: I'm going to go with Sea Urchin.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: I'm not sure, most likely my son is cooking
Have a great, day all!

Good mornin y'all.
Yesterday ended up being ****ty but at least that's over.
We have a lot to do today. Sam's, Walmart....maybe the thrift store. Probably the dollar tree. I'm already tired.
Not in the most positive mood and I'm kind of *****y so I'll keep this short LOL
QOTD: emu I guess. Oh and rattlesnake jerky. Just ewww on that last one. So gross.
B: power crunch bar and coffee
L: ?????
D: I want to get some kind of beef.
Happy Hump Day Menuers!!! Glad it is the middle of the week. Yesterday was pretty busy in the scale for a Tuesday, but it did make the day go by quick. Hit the Y for a 40 minute workout and then went home and got the rabbits bred.
I knew the Silver Fox pair would be right on it well like rabbits. You know the breeding was successful when there is what is called three fall offs. Jack is a big buck like a good 18lbs and Jill isn't that far behind him in size, but he was so gentle and loving. They even snuggled afterwards. Then we did the Cream D'Argents they are a few lbs. smaller and it took them a bit longer to figure things out, but Prince got the job done and then Princess was like OK I need to go back to my house I'm done with him. Some rabbits like to cuddle and snuggle and others don't. Now we'll see if the breeding took and if we will have baby bunnies in 35-45 days.
QOTD: What's the most exotic meat that you have tried? I've eaten venison, goat, lamb, tons of different types of seafood, but I would have to say alligator was the most exotic meat and it was actually pretty tasty. Tasted to me like calamari.
B: coffee and squash and eggs
L: Not sure I might hit up the local Mexican food truck
D: salad with grilled chicken
Weight machines and swimming at the Y.
Have a great day everyone!!
More baby goat pictures.

Happy Tuesday all. Your baby goats' names sound just perfect for them. Hope your time in the scale house will fly by.
This is the 2nd day of a blissful cool-down with a bit of rain. Our forecasters say we probably won't get any additional rain until September. Well, that is a typical hot and dry firebox of a summer for Eastern Washington. I'm praying there won't be too many new fires.
QOTD: None of my friends' families ever ate this but Mom regularly made SOS with a pound of hamburger. The economy was bad in the 70's and Dad's job seemed to regularly have 'RIF's so Mom made every dollar stretch with her food budget. The SOS was sometimes made with a can of cream of... soup but often just a white sauce made from reconstituted dried milk. The meat would vary...sometimes a can of tuna, the beloved hamburger or a 15 cents packet of Buddig sandwich meat chopped fine. If she weren't too tired it would be served on a homemade biscuit. Usually it was served on dry toast. And usually the side was canned green beans. We never knew times were hard, Mom made sure we didn't go hungry. Unless, that is, she was again on Weigh****chers and we'd go hungry from choice when it was mandatory liver night. Ugh.
Did an experiment today...took my morning Contrave at noon and had my protein/collagen shake then. I wasn't even hungry when I made myself start drinking it. For dinner I'm going to try to go a little more calorie dense and hopefully fight off the mental urge for an evening snack. I think it is mostly just a habit that I'd like to break.
My fingers are crossed for tomorrow and the first appointment with a plastic surgeon to discuss getting my 20+ yr. old broken nose repaired to make it easier to breathe. Will hopefully also get a ballpark quote on a blepharoplasty, getting some fat pockets under my eyes removed and a panniculectomy once I've lost all the weight again. A girl can dream... Like my surgeon's nurse said, 'Start saving your pennies for plastics!' lol
Have a lovely day, everybody!
