I did good hard work today on getting my place back in order. I got drenched in sweat and panted hard. It's been chaos in here for too long. I took a lot of unnecessary furniture down to storage. The living room is now nice and empty.

Only essentials are allowed in this 450 square foot home. I'm having a junk removal service come tomorrow for a hallway plugged with boxed items and a balcony full of bagged garbage. It's such a joy to have them come and remove superfluous items, no muss, no fuss. I pay for priority service and they arrive within the hour. Good value!

My dog and i are getting along great. I've noticed my neighbor constantly speaking encouragingly to his nervous dog and have done the same with my dog. She's responding well. She's enjoying the more intense snuggling too. She's always been attached to me, but now i feel we are more in-love than ever.

She's getting older and her eyes will squeeeeeeeeeeeeeze shut as she sits on my lap, and she slowly collapses until her head is laying against my belly. We are closer than ever since i got rid of the full-size sofa that was overpowering my living room and downsized to an over-stuffed chair. There is no room for her to have her own space, so she's constantly hopping up on my lap and clambering around the chair's tall-sides and back like a Billy Goat!

It was a nice quiet day with only one brief pleasant conversation with R this morning. I successfully resisted going down to the lobby and doing futile socializing. I actually didn't have to resist, i just plain didn't feel like it.

Hopefully i am changing gears out of the rapid cycling moods, and getting past the euphoria. I got back to eating my high-protein salads today and good for me as i found it quite strenuous being active today. I am not interested in losing weight for vanity, but i am interested for physical fitness. I'd like to do cartwheels again!
