I must say that I am off to a good start, but not before a somewhat ugly beginning to my week. I was prematurely awoken Monday morning to the sound of my cat digging in a paper bag. Needless to say I was livid. I'm embarrassed to admit that I vaulted out of bed and yelled not only at her, but also at her side-kick (our other cat) who was innocently observing her rifle through a bag that she clearly had no business rifling through at 7 o'clock in the morning. I instantly felt that old familiar feeling of Catholic guilt. It's a struggle. Why should I feel bad? I was off for two weeks and not one of those mornings did Gypsy make a peep. Oh no, she saved it for my first day back to work. The one morning I desperately wanted every last millisecond of sleep.
Nevertheless I felt bad for losing my temper with the kitties. I spent my entire shower scolding myself. It was quite productive actually. Here are the results of my scolding:
Resolution #1: This year I will not yell at kitties acting as a morning wake up call.
Resolution #2: This year I will strive to be more positive and not so hard on myself (and not so hard on soft, squishy fat cats).
Resolution #3: This year I will make lists and actually complete the tasks those lists are made up of.
Resolution #4: Beginning as soon as I finish my holiday chocolates, I will get up every morning and work out and I will lose those twenty extra pounds!
I'm doing great so far with resolutions 1 through 3. I still need to finish my holiday treats and once I do, resolution 4 better watch out!
2009 here we come!
