Hi! I would like to preface this post by noting that no cats were harmed in the making of it… This morning I was getting ready to go run and Vegas was hanging out, talking to me. So, I picked him up to take a picture and say hello…
And I caught him mid-Meow!! If you are really into cats, you can check out this wireless cat water fountain!
It looks like he’s screaming, but he doesn’t scream. He uses his ‘inside voice’ because I’ve raised him well.
Then, I hit the road for a 6 mile run.
Remember the Stonehenge situation I mentioned in my “Seen on the Run” post?
Here’s the latest…
After my run I went to make an english muffin and got a surprise. I bought this pack of Whole Wheat English Muffins yesterday and ate one. This morning when I went to pull the muffin apart I saw raisins.
It’s super random but one of the muffins is a cinnamon raisin one. So, I opened up all of them and the rest had a few raisins too. I swear the first one didn’t. What?
I know I’ve mentioned this Everything Bagel Seasoning before but I randomly started putting it on EVERYTHING last week and can’t stop. Well, now I can stop because it’s all gone. But I’m getting more.
And in case you were worried about Vegas – he’s fine. He likes to wiggle around on the floor and it’s adorable but if you try and pet his belly he will f-ing kill you. That’s how cats are, ya know? You’ve been warned.
And I’m fine too. But you wouldn’t know it from all the therapy I’ve been in this year.
I worked on something for therapy while eating lunch. It’s a lil timeline of some parts of my life.
Since we’re on the subject… I would highly suggest you go to therapy immediately. Yes, you should go to therapy because you are choosing to read the blog of a stranger on the internet who is probably a 62 year old Russian man writing in his underwear.
I mean – has anyone actually even seen this “Monican” in person?? Do we know she’s real? Who actually believes there’s a redheaded Mexican runner who wants to be the mayor of Long Beach, eats watermelons 12 at a time and doles out advice about marathons and peanut butter on the internet machine?!?!
– and scene –
Either way, I’m a work in progress, but aren’t we all?
Strawberry Smoothie!
I made a Strawberry Smoothie for breakfast the other day and made another to note the amounts I put in the recipe.
Strawberry Smoothie: 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 scoop berry protein powder, 1 cup almond milk, 4 big ice cubes. Top with granola, nuts, chocolate chips, sprinkles, a donut…
And as fate would have it… this bag of water balloons popped into my life today.
It accidentally found it’s way into my shopping bags and I didn’t realize until I got home. When I went to put the groceries away I saw I had this lil surprise! (I checked my receipt and did pay for them, they must have been from the previous shopper.)
I think the universe wants me to do an epic water balloon fight!! Who’s in??
Thabks for talking up therapy! Therapy and running saved my life in college and now I sit on the other side of sessions ( and of course I still run). I think therapy and exercise are such an amazing combo for metal health.
Yes to therapy! But who has the time?! That’s why I workout, hahaha.
I love therapy. I mean, I hate it because it makes me cry, but I love it because I always feel better afterwards.
My cat Scooby Doo is doing this thing right now where he swipes at my shoulder whenever I walk near him and he’s on the counter. Because I let my cats on the counter (like I have a choice).
I went to therapy about 10 years ago (whoa…that’s way longer than I thought) But I’ve thought of going back because it really is amazing what it can do to you. Even if you don’t think you need it, or if you don’t feel like you have any major issues. A good therapist can help with the dumbest things that seem like more than they are too. (And of course the bigger real-life problems)
Im so down for water balloons. And I like my english muffins straight up, no odd flavors. Its an english muffin , not an oreo. Are they trying to jump on oreos massive flavor selection train?!
I probably should be in therapy but my health insurance is so costly that the thought of paying $60 per visit makes me even more anxious and depressed 🙂 If I can afford $60 a week for anything it’d be for physical therapy to fix my runjuries.
Ah Vegas! Love that first photo.
My therapist went on maternity leave a month ago. I thought I was ready for a break but boy was I wrong! Just found someone new and will meet her next week.
I would call those rocks cairns. But only in my head because I have no idea how to pronounce that word correctly.
Good luck! It’s hard to transition to someone new.
Those rocks aren’t a mini Stonehenge, they’re inukshuks…..stacks of rocks used as markers or to provide direction on a path. I see them all the time on paths in my area, but sometimes also see them in a more urban setting; in those instances, it’s usually built more for fun than to actually provide direction.

What??!! Super interesting!!
Now I want a strawberry smoothie. Strawberries here are so expensive though… I always feel it’s more worth it to eat them raw because of the price in Hong Kong, haha!
