Fleck in his favorite place, on Christmas day, 2010.



I noticed one of Fleck's eyes weeping a little yesterday, and again this afternoon, so I took him to the vet.  He was overdue for his shots, anyway.  Naturally, Fleck just loves going to the vet.  He yowled in the car all the way there and all the way home.  He quieted down while we were there, and even flirted a little bit with the technician who cuddled him and gushed over his handsome tuxedo.  Then he pooped all over her when she tried to take his temperature.  Seriously, a buttload of poop came out of that cat.  I have never seen so much poop.

I have to put salve in his eyes for a couple of weeks, and on Valentine's Day he's going in to have his teeth cleaned.  Happy Valentine's Day, Fleck. 

That took up some of my practice time today.  I did get in some time on my baritone, and I did some laundry.  Dinner was sushi--eel roll.  Most of my day tomorrow will still be dairy-free, because I don't have any other food around here.  Wednesday is the big day!  And after Wednesday, I'll see what I feel like. 

I haven't decided what direction to take with the blog just yet.  I considered giving up something else for this month, but honestly, this month is going to be difficult enough.  I need to focus on getting through this one, and maybe I can do something healthy in March.  I have a whole list of things I could give up: caffeine, soda, refined sugar, HFCS (that would be cheating--I already avoid that one).  I could work on non-food habits like procrastination, or I could challenge myself to take more photos and post them.  I could just keep a themeless blog and see where it goes.  For now, that's what it's going to be--if I live through February, I'll worry about the future.
