arwenmonster has been acting very strange. Yesterday, she would only let doomsey and I pet her in small doses. If I pet her too long or in the wrong place or if I tried to pick her up, she would start hissing and growling at me. Then, last night, she wandered into our room after midnight and started cuddling with us. I'm thinking that maybe she realized that we were worried about her? She started headbutting doomsey and I. She purred and tried to give me a bath with her tongue after I pet her.

Today, I made the mistake of trying to pick her up, and again she's hissing and growling at me, but she let me pick her up when she was sitting on the bed. Sometimes she'll let me pet her, and sometimes she won't. This is all very confusing. I don't understand that cat at all. Anyhow, because her sinus infection is sounding worse than normal and because of her erratic behavior, we're taking her to the vet tomorrow afternoon.

[Edit: We will also be talking with the vet about tranquilizers for when she needs to be brushed, have her nails trimmed, or taken anywhere in the car.]

[Another observation: She didn't joing doomsey and I downstairs when we were watching a movie, which is very unusual for her. Oh...by the way...I was the only one watching the movie. doomsey chatted on IRC on his computer and looked bored.]

Random question

Does anybody else out there have trouble sleeping in the spring when the weather gets warmer? Or am I the only weird one?

More randomness

I've picked up my old tradition of walking about three or so miles a day and I've been doing so for the past week and a half. Well...a couple of days I was only able to do a mile because of some blisters on my heels, but I have new shoes on order that will take care of the problem. It takes me about an hour and I usually take my ipod with me and listen to music. After a while it occurred to me that I was really stupid to stop going on these walks. When I get enough exercise, I lose weight, fit into my clothes better, have more energy, and am usually in a better mood. Another weird thing I've noticed is that I've stopped craving junk food as much. Has anybody else out there noticed that they don't get the munchies as much when they've been exercising?
