I actually sort of don't know what I am doing with food right now. I need to finish cleaning my fridge and I am just so tired. I also have food I need to eat before it spoils but because I have been in a calorie deficit for a while it feels too much even though it isn't.

It is like a weird sort of burden, but I am trying to enjoy it so, I sort of just dance around the room eating the tasty food. I also bought some fruits but I can't eat that until I finish the other things.

I forgot to feed the cat last night. It was so rainy and windy, I hope he/she is ok. I guess it probably needs fresh water too. I tried washing the plastic bowls I put out for them, but the rain and wind made it fuse with the stupid bark dust/wood chip bullshit out there so it was completely useless to wash it. I just

treat.

Oh? Is that the cat? It knows the word treat? Was it the fucking cat speaking Vietnamese on my phone? omg that is hilarious. Is the cat Vietnamese? Reminds me of that one guy on TikTok that calls cats in different languages, but in reverse.

Looks like my Jasper...

Cats can safely eat sardines as an occasional, high-protein treat, but they should not be a staple diet due to high sodium content and lack of essential nutrients. Always choose sardines packed in water with no added salt, oil, or seasonings like onion/garlic.

The only thing I have are sardines so... I guess I am doing them a favor not feeding them all the time. Meh, I dunno... I feel I have to take that with a grain of salt because, they eat freakin mice and birds and crap like that. I mean even those "natural" foods don't have all the nutrients they need, technically.

Also if they're surviving outside, they are probably burning more calories and stuff. I probably should feed them at the same time every day though. Cats like routine.

I am a cat.

I am getting tired though, my belly is really full and while my mind and stuff is still wide awake, my body is feeling sort of tired. I need to at least take a nap if nothing else. It is kind of annoying since I am wearing contacts so, I have to take those out right now.

The wind really threw my cans around the yard. I don't want to sort that out until a sunny day. I do feel like I need to invest in that can bin that I was looking at in Amazon. I was thinking... maybe keeping the trash outside in like more decent quality bins with lids. It would keep the smell out and give me more room in my apartment. I cleaned the space I was hoping that would go there before it rained but the rain and wind made it all kind of dirty again so... yea, everything depends on the next sunny day.

I don't have the money for that at the moment so I am not worried, plus I am busy with indoor projects more right now so the thought of cleaning the yard is sort of overwhelming to think of at the moment.

I am glad I am getting more things done even though it doesn't look like it at all if someone came over. I don't have to worry about that anymore. I live alone and my progress or my mess, is mine alone.. If I feel I am making progress, I am.
