What's on your Wednesday Menu?

Morning everyone! We are half way to the weekend! How's it going so far? All good here. I got everything checked off of my to-do list yesterday with plenty of time to spare. Honestly, this semester is just too easy to keep me busy enough, but I hope I can figure out some things to do to keep me ahead to use my time wisely. Today will be more of the same--a few assignments, some baking, and decorating.
Our rather rotund kitty (the one who loves HAM) has decided that he owns the center of the bed, and it is becoming a problem. I must have moved him 6 times last night, but every time I fell back asleep he was back in the center pushing me off the side. I've never had a cat like him--he loves is comfort and he is sooo bossy about getting it!
QOTD: What would you do for a Klondike Bar? Meh. I don't love ice cream. The candy coating makes it more enticing and I would eat one if someone handed it to me, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get one. I might do some very exciting things for a lobster roll, though :)
Accountability: Ok, so I don't get this at all. I thought it was just that I got busy and forgot sometimes... but now that I am less busy, I'm noticing that that's not necessarily it. I seems I have days when I have no hunger triggers, at all for no reason. I had absolutely no hunger all day. After my protein coffee at 4am it didn't occur to me to eat anything again until dinner. Weird right? I also held to my goal of stopping at 3pm to do something active. Yesterday was 60 degrees (Whoo!) so I went out to help Grim with yard work :)

It also helps that the cat completely ignores you until ham-time.

The cat looooves the new mattress.

My cat loves the heated mattress pad and is waiting on the bed by 6:00 every night, hoping I will come and turn it on. I remember visiting a brother-in-law and he had ended up sleeping on the couch because he lived alone and his cat kept pushing him out of bed, so he just moved to the couch to keep her happy.

My last partner was 6'5". He would argue that beds are much less comfortable because of his height. His was special order. And he didn't do well sleeping in a Prius or a rental car in Iceland, either. Sometimes those higher planes lead to a crick in the neck. Or back.
