Today Koshka's world is sunshiny. Literally and figuratively.

Got up today at 8am with a spring in my step, worked on my midterm essays, then hopped off to the pool to lounge my lizard rear and soak up some of the vitamin D outside my door today. Can tell the hormone surge has retreated... I'm in an almost elated state. Not manic or hypo, as I usually don't experience that unless unmedicated, which I'm not. Just "bouncy," I'd say. Hate how the mood fluctuates like this based upon my hormone levels, but must admit that I do like the bubbliness that I feel for about 3 days after the end of my cycle. Wish there was a way to keep that feeling going inside my body... it's a very happy place and wish I was like this all the time.

The doggies have calmed down a bit, as they seem to be getting used to being "a pack." The first two days of doggie visits turn my two little fur kids into little spazmoids and they run around like they're on a crack high. All members of the pack are now contented, whittling away on their newest chewies that I just doled out.

Haven't felt much like eating the past few days. The week leading up to my cycle is what I refer to as my "eat the walls down" days where I get massive cravings for all forms of crap food and don't usually remember why the hell I'm wanting to eat dinners consisting of noodles or bread or potatoes until about 3 days into food-fest week. After the cycle, I swing to the other pole... not caring if I eat at all. Then when "happy days" return to me, I begin to want to eat like a normal person. Today I busted out the watermelon and pineapple (satiates the sweets cravings), am going to have bbq ribs and corn left over from the other night, and am defrosting a steak to toss on the grill tomorrow... mmmmmm... charred meat..... mmmmmm. I'm def a carnivore... would fail miserably as a vegetarian (even tho I eat tons of veggies) as I MUST have charred meat. Firm believer in protein, am I.

So that's the blather for today. Nothing fab... just finally shook off the lay-around fatassery I've been engaging in for the last week and snapped back like the rubberband I seem to be.

Looking at my toes... pogs need painted... looking like mountain lion chewed on them... time for some pog-maintenance. Maybe I shall top today off with a pedi... or do that tomorrow morning. I find that relaxing and fun.

Hope you all are having a nice weekend!
Sunshine to yooz all!!
