If you read last week’s blog, you will know I was eagerly looking forward to watching this with Mom and M. I watched it myself on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am finding now that a lot of times it takes two viewings to fully absorb a movie. I laughed out loud a few times and Mom and M enjoyed it too.
The only thing that was glaringly unrealistic was the cat eyes. They were cat-like sometimes and they were very human and round much of the time. Of course it is a movie made by people and to really convey the feeling they wanted to, they used the eyes. It certainly did not detract in any way, except for me when the cat was in full sunlight with dilated eyes! Nope.

Along with the ongoing argument over supplements is the discussion of finances. Suffice it to say, the nest egg I have needs to last another 15 years, roughly speaking. It is a big chunk of money now, but my loving, wonderful sister is ever vigilant about reminding me that if I continue to spend like I am now, the money won't last that long. Yes, but… (to quote the famous improv phrase) (ha ha)
I need to spend a little bit more now to get me up to speed with the supplements and then I can switch to a lower maintenance level. Then we are back at the argument of effectiveness. I am obviously not communicating something well enough if I am always losing the argument that I know what's best for me. I agree that massage is a good thing because I am so sedentary. If you were worried about money, good nutrition does a hell of a lot to improve circulation also.
What I just realized is that I am yet again jumping a few steps ahead instead of moving at a pace that people who are not me can keep up with. I know the supplements will improve my circulation so I want to cut down on the massage now to save money. Unfortunately, I end up looking like I don't think the massage is important and that makes me lose credibility. So I'm just going to enjoy the massage and shut up.

I took a really long time to write last week’s blog, and, as you saw, I couldn't remember what had happened during the week. I'm writing this Sunday morning and trying to recollect what I did today. I know the rest of the week, but I'm not recalling anything special that happened today. So I guess today is my black hole day for this week.

Freddie day! As I have now run out of photos of me in my new t-shirts, I need some pictures with the kitty to use for my blog cover photo. My therapist got a nice picture of him on my table against the wall, which I will use at a later date, and then he settled for a minute on my shoulder and she got a few pictures there. It's very nice having a kitty so close to me!

I worked on inputting the credit card numbers for January and February. Each month’s bill includes the first three weeks of the current month and the last week of the last month. So this means January is complete as far as credit card charges go. I need to get myself set up with my bank for online banking. I used to check my bank account multiple times a week, but I haven't looked at it for three years now. That's how thoroughly I have walked away from my financial well-being. That ends now! I'm back, baby! Watch out! (Let's see how fast I regret that decision.)

My sister was going to visit me today but she called at 8 AM and told me the protest that she thought was scheduled for tomorrow was today. She quickly made a sign, called Mom, and they both drove down and joined the decent-sized protest in downtown Honolulu. I'm all for that and I know that if any news outlets mention it, they can say there were protests in every state of the union and I know there was one in Hawaii! I have no idea if that’s true, but I would not be surprised. Hawaii is not the most difficult place to organize a rally, especially against our president. I could not live in a red state.

My sister was supposed to go to her yoga class, stop by Whole Foods and then come here, but she got a bad allergy attack and had to leave yoga to go home and get an allergy pill. She had to leave me around 4 PM so she just came straight to me from home. No sushi! Oh well, I can have it two weeks in a row now. We had yet another discussion about the budget where she was showing me empirically how I can't keep spending the way I do. We were, of course, looking at the projected budget. I have been filling out the actual numbers, which look much lower because some numbers get filled in one time instead of averaged over every month.
So I really need to wait until the end of the year to see if I spent less. I'm going to bet I did. It's very unfair of me to make my argument in this type of public forum. Mama needs some content! If I'm going to be brutally honest as usual, I’d say I am feeling like it is very hard to make my points, so I am going to get everyone on my side. Very unfair, especially since you never get to hear my sister’s side. So I will stop talking about this. It really shouldn't be about sides anyway. I'll start taking the supplements finally and we will see the results.
I'm saving the cute picture with Freddie and instead showing the photo from the protest with my sister’s friend, my sister, and my mom. There's another picture with my mom and the sign my sister made but that will be another week. May your week be peaceful and bright! 🐾
