Aww, Sugar, Sugar - Day 50

I don't know what came over me yesterday, with the cookies and such, but I'm back on the wagon today. Well, I was. Clearly, it's a struggle for me to go to the local store and not tempt fate. Whatever. It was mainly just a heads-down-work kind of day. Not much else to talk about. 

I haven't felt any real detriment from the sugar consumption. I think it takes more than one incident on one day. 

Today was spent burning it off by chasing a mouse. Yes, me. The cat is fired. 

He's far smaller than this picture would lead you to believe. 

The horrific image quality is a feature of zooming in to make sure what I was seeing. Without the flash, he just looked like a little round ball, what I thought was a cat toy. I just had a feeling. It didn't start out like this. The cat had him ... in his mouth. All the way. All you could see was a tail. He caught him in the living room, and then ran through the house and into my office where he then dropped him, and they played ... Wait for it ... a game of Cat and Mouse. Then, said mouse vanished. This picture was taken over an hour later. 

Eww. 

We got this Mouse Motel ... Supposed to be a no-kill trap. It's good for collections, but not so much the trapping element. 

This is the trap, sitting on end, so as little fellow won't exit. 

Mouse was then deposited out of doors, at the end of the house, where he took off for parts unknown, or else to find another way back inside. I have no idea if this is the same one from last week. Perhaps I should start tagging them? Not sure how to do that. Not sure I want to do that. We think we have found the grand entrance. It was behind the dishwasher. I am not entire certain why this year, of all the 17 years we've lived here that NOW there is this big influx of micely visitations. We've had probably three in the course of these nearly two decades. We are surrounded by fields, so I suppose it is to be expected, but still. Eww. 

Other than that, it's been a fairly boring day. Oh, I guess we have a boogeyman traveling around the neighborhood, in the dark, wearing all black. My first question is: Is he alive? My second question is: Seriously, dude? There are no better places to meander rather than out here in the styx? I don't follow the local gossip, though, so I have no clue on status. As long as he's not:

Let him wander. We have coyotes. Maybe they can meet for dinner. 

The Beloved and I have decided we need to start meal planning. Every day, we struggle to figure out what to have for dinner, and on weekends, lunchables. I'm going to have to consult my trusty Keto board on Pinterest. There has to be a better way. Especially since the Beloved has decided he also would like to try keto when the holidays are over. 

So, yeah, that's about all I have by way of an update. I have something I discovered yesterday, but I'll talk about it tomorrow. 

For now, off I go. xo
