Thursday Tidbits

• Currently working on some pasta and meatballs.  Actually put some effort into dinner... I think that deserves applause of some kind.  I probably should have gone grocery shopping this evening.  I went for a two mile run with Brink instead.  We don't run together very often any more and I love every second when we do!

• I'm trying to pick up my miles some.  I'm still nursing a sore knee/IT band issue.  I haven't had any shooting pain but I can tell something isn't quite normal down there.  I did some foam rolling when I got home but need to make it a point to work on it each night.

• I brought in a few empty boxes from the garage so that I can start packing.  Squee!  Still crossing my fingers but hopefully we'll be moving by May!  I have no idea where to even start packing.  The boxes I brought it seem so terribly small.  I'm going to need some bigger boxes if I'm going to make better use of my time.

• I spent some time reading up on "How to move houses with a cat."  Seven years ago when I moved into my current home, I moved Milo here from my parents house.  We just brought him over and let him have the whole house to roam.  Then he had some pancreatic attack.  It was probably stress induced.  Everything I read this morning suggested cats freak out and don't drink enough water and that leads to bigger problems.  So...trying to best prepare for how to move the guy without pancreas issues - because cat diarrhea and giving Milo pills are the most horrible, least enjoyable things on the planet.  And considering I had to observe my first autopsy yesterday, that is saying something!
