I’ve lost a Loki! Well, so to speak. Since this time last year I am 8 kilos lighter, and 6 of those I have lost since October. So I’m feeling good about that, other than the fact that the more recent weight lost is mostly due to my chronic abdominal pain thang. But it’s kind of amazing to think when I pick up Loki – who is a LOT of cat as you can see – that I am no longer carrying that around with me. And it’s also inspired me to actually TRY to lose more weight now, as I still have a long way to go. Anyhow, off to a good start. New year, new me, blah blah blah…

When I moved from the previous Casa Azahar I dumped my cheap old rickety ironing board, which I had bought in Salamanca back in 1993. And since I now have the big tables set up in the “office” part of the living room I thought a small table top board would work fine as a replacement. Turns out I was wrong (though I do like how it neatly hangs up in the hall closet). And so today I splashed out on this ridiculously expensive Brabantia ironing board (though it was 40% off thanks to January sales). What the heck. I reckon it will be the last ironing board I ever buy. Now I just need to find a place to store it…

It’s been a long and difficult week with this guy, but I am happy to report that Loki is eating well again (and keeping it down!) and seems to be properly on the mend. He’s even back to pestering me for breakfast in the morning – something I never thought I’d miss. Thanks for all your best wishes, and I know that Deb will be especially glad that her favourite boy is feeling better.  🙂
