Run Eat Repeat

I’ll Never Know What I Just Ate…

My Life

FacebookTweetPin
7 Aug

So it’s finally come to this… I knew the day would come but I didn’t realize it would be so soon. I thought I had a few good years to be normal before I crossed this line.

Let’s start at the beginning. No, I don’t have that much time – let’s start at yesterday morning…

i ate cat food 11 (450x800)

I ran 17 miles. It as a good run. I did that thing where I stopped at home half way to get water, fuel and change. I drank half a Spark fruit punch but didn’t share any with Vegas. This act of denying my cat some of my delicious beverage may be the reason he kicked food out of his bowl so I would have to clean it up later. Karma.

17 miles done and done.

Post-run I made a protein waffle and had a ton of fruit.

The rest of yesterday wasn’t that exciting but I did go out last night. I ended up getting home around 2am.

Unfortunately no matter what time I go to sleep I always seem to wake up early!! So I was up after a few hours of sleep and groggily headed to the kitchen to make iced coffee. I also grabbed a few handfuls of the new pumpkin spice cheerios. As I was grabbing them I spilled a few here and there, no big deal.

I finished making my coffee and as I headed out of the kitchen I grabbed up one of the cheerios I dropped and ate it. I found a few others as I unloaded the dryer and ate them too.

One was super stale which I thought was funny because it means it wasn’t from being dropped this morning, but from another day. Oh well.

As I was cleaning up after breakfast today I realized that Vegas’ cat food looks a lot like those wayward Cheerios I ate! Now, I’m fairly sure I didn’t eat a piece of cat food this morning because I would have realized it tasted weird. Buuuutt, I was also probably still half asleep as I shoved them in my mouth. And there was that oddly stale one…

The only way I can tell if I ate cat food earlier is to eat one now and see if it’s the same consistency as the stale one from earlier. Bah!! I don’t think I want to know that badly…

Should I eat a piece of cat food to confirm or just live in ignorant bliss?

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      Bliss! Bliss! Bliss!
      I was once at a restaurant and ordered brussels sprouts. As soon as I tasted them, I knew they had been cooked with some type of meat (I’m vegan).
      I just stopped eating them and was happy in my ignorant bliss. BUT then my sister asked the waiter what they had been cooked in. I’ve been forever scarred and have not ordered them in any restaurant since then…EVER.

      Definitely taste a piece of kitty kibble…my guess is that it was one of Vegas’! Growing up we used to dare each other to eat Meow Mix…not bad really.

      Revenge for not sharing your drink?

      So you click-baited your readers to tell them you may or may not have eaten a single piece of cat food in your cheerio frenzy? Hellos m&m’s under the couch, I get it but like can we lower the click bait factor here.
