Getting my pets today!

I am so excited because today I am getting my pet rats, Drew and Annie (I named them after Cinderella's stepsisters, Drusilla and Anastasia). Before you think "eww gross rats" I will tell you that rats make really nice pets! They are very sweet and gentle, they are litter box trained, they know their names, they like to play and cuddle... really they are like little dogs with ratty tails. The tails can be a little unappealing, but it's not their fault that they have creepy tails. They are good pets. It will be really nice to have some furry friends to take care. There's something about taking care of a pet that is therapeutic. They rely on you to get food and water and care, and you really have to think about their needs first.

My mom and sister are going to bring the rats and then we will go out for coffee or frozen yogurt. Yum! It's really hot today, so a cold drink or yogurt sounds really good. I will see what my sister wants to do. Last time we did Starbucks so maybe the yogurt shop today!

For lunch I had left over fettuccni alfredo from the other day with my dietician, and it tasted pretty good. I also had a nectarine and carrots. Now I'm nice and full. Which is good. Weigh in tomorrow and my dietician said if my weight's not up we will increase my meal plan.. hopefully that won't happen. I am conflicted about the whole situation. If my weight is up I'll be upset. If I get a meal plan increase I'll be upset... basically no solution will make me happy. I will just have to deal with the uncomfortableness of either decision. I will survive!
