Day 74 - And the Beat Goes On - May 22nd
There were no great events or eye opening episodes today, (thank goodness, sometimes no news is good news) so I'll just update a few of the continuing adventures of my life.
1st - The Non jumping dog - Let me rephrase that - Non jumping into the Murano dog, she'll jump over playground equipment, waterfall rocks, laps or couches! We have relapsed to using the box again to try to get her feeling comfortable, but if she slides while using that, we start all over again. Her biggest trouble comes from her own fear of slipping. I did have a little empathy for her tonight, as she tried to jump in, but slipped back out. I saw how she jumps differently when she is afraid. I actually can relate to her as I have dealt with that paralyzing fear when I play the guitar in front of a crowd. It only took a few slip ups, (the older I get the more those happen too!) now I cannot control the uncontrollable shaking I have in front of a crowd. I play differently when I somewhat expect I'm going to slip up. Maybe if I figure out how to help the dog conquer her fears, it might help me out with a few of my own!
2nd - The Cold - So far, so good, it's just running its course as a normal little cold would.
3rd - The Sugar - I have cut back drastically, but I am finding that it really makes me want to snack on something, and a carrot is not cutting the mustard, I now use skinny popcorn to fill the crevices. I'll have to let you know how detoxing from that habit goes!
I need to give you my recipes! The mug cake I had tonight will satisfy and still keep you on track!!
