thank you, Jillann! it looks like we cross-posted. i'm going to need all the support i can get from now until July 24, so i sure don't consider you late! i appreciate your encouragement!

yeah, it's day three and today is going pretty good as far as cravings are concerned. it's an absolute beautiful evening here and i'm enjoying it immensely. feeling bad for my younger kitty since she loves going outdoors, but i don't let her outside much. another kitty got hit by a car about a year ago, and i dread that happening to her. so, i'm trying to keep her challenged and interested since she is a very smart young cat. all the windows are open and there's a beautiful breeze and i'm playing fetch with my cat indoors! yes, she returns her stuffed mice for me to throw again! she's an awesome little cat, and she doesn't know it but she's helping me by keeping me engaged with life by playing with me! little sweetie, Luna!
