Do-Gooder of the dAY

It's not even 9am and I feel like I have done my good deed for the day (or week?). I left for work at the usual time and just as I was passing the intersecting street and going to turn right, I noticed something in my perepheral vision. At first thought it looekd like alemur climbing up a phone pole. But on closer inspection (I had to walk about a half a block out of my way). I found out it was a black cat entangled in a plastic grocery bag (thats right those evil things dont just effect ocean animals). I emmediate felt the need to help the poor thing. I thought about old ladies calling the firemen to rescue cats in trees on TV, and those animal rescue shows. I decided to risk the potential fee and call information for animal control. The cat was pretty far up the pole and obviously scared. I think it ran up there to escape the bag which it couldnt possibly. Stupid Cat. Anyway, so while going through the process of geting a number, calling, dials one for english, two for animal control, then getting connected to a different dept, etc. I saw somethign miraculous. THe cat actually figured out that by releasing it's grip ever so much, then gripping again quickly, it would be lowered. I was still trying to reach someone when the cat made it far enough for me to reach it. SO I hung up and grabbed the cat, who surprisingly didnt fight me. If it were my roommate's cat, she would have clawed my eyes out. This is a feril, wild cat who has probably enver been touched by human hands and it let me grab it, he even let go of the pole, and I untangled it from the bag and set it down when it scurried away, but I swear, not before it looked back with a look of gratitude. At on point when I was on the phone and he was far up the pole a woman walked by and I pointed to the cat and she looked a me like "crazy white lady trying to help a stupid alley cat" and walked on. Very un-neighborly. But when I let that cat go, I realized I felt a little nervous or shaken. Don't know why.

Anyway, thats my adventure for this morning.

I was doing so good for almost two whole days on my diet. I even saved points for a pasta dinner last night, but I was craving dessert and we had nothing, so I asked Wes to bring something home. He brought all the yummy sundae fixins! Oh no! I majorly pigged out on ice cream and went 10 points into my weekly allotment, and it's not even the weekend! Then feeling shameful this morning, I skipped breakfast. Had a half a banana at work and I'm starting over .. .again.

I did enter all my food on the tracker though. I am sure I can make up for it with the snowboarding and what-not. BUt what on earth should Ihave for lunch today?
