Drugs and catnip seem to have a weird effect on my cat. Jon and I have bought him catnip a few times hoping to see him play and have fun...Instead, he takes one sniff and becomes all lovey dovey, rubbing all over everything in sight and begging to be paid attention to. It is so weird actually. Right now, hours after been given drugs so that we could take him to the vet and make a 4th attempt at getting a mandatory microchip placed in his neck, he is snuggling as close to my leg as possible while snuggling with the couch as well.

You can read about our visit to the Vet at my husband's blog. He did a good job describing our redonkulous yet successful 4th visit to the Vet.

Isaiah has been telling it like it is the past two days. God doesn't want your empty words/actions. He was also a poet and I did not know it. For example in chapter one he says:

"Take your evil deeds out of my sight!

Stop doing wrong, learn to do right!"

I had a terrible dream today while I was taking a nap. I had a dream Jon shot me with a gun at point blank range trying to kill me. It was so terrible. I hate bad dreams. They always seem to stick with me long after waking up even though I know they are not true. I have been dreaming a lot lately about killing and being killed. I really don't remember having dreams like this before and I don't really know why I am having so many lately. Hopefully all of this will pass because it really does not provide a restful night's sleep.

I went running again tonight. I was able to run for 28.33 minutes without stopping. At minute 7 I was not even sure I was going to make it to minute 10 but somehow it ended up working out. I flopped on the couch a sweaty mess and thankful God gave me the ability to exercise. I realized today while running that my back actually has not been hurting since I have been running. I think running is helping my abs to get back in shape which in turn helps take pressure off my back. My knees have also stopped hurting. So weird that pounding the pavement would help my knees to stop hurting but I will take it!
