Trying to get through the day with just a little piece of happiness...

Update

So far so good with Spark People (SP). I finally figured out how to get it set up for someone who wants to lose weight, but doesn't want to us SP's meal plans. You click on "don't show meal plans." Duh. Seriously, though it was not exactly obvious because you get only two choices when you start: either you don't want to lose weight or you want to lose weight and follow a plan. By visiting the help section, I found out that you choose the latter and then there is the aforementioned "don't show meal plans" button you can click. Because the last thing I want is someone else telling me what to eat. Stuff like that definitely pushes my buttons. I would say it makes me want to rebel like a child against her mother, but it's more that I would think, why are you telling me what to eat? I'm an adult, and I didn't ask for your advice; mind your own business!

This Friday I am taking the day off to relax and to take Trinka to the vet. I feel so bad about taking her to the vet because she hates it so much, but on the other hand (or paw), I ADORE Trinka, and I want to keep her healthy. She's almost 16 years old, and I believe I can keep her around for a while still. She seems very healthy. Her kidneys are not working as well as they used to, but that's to be expected with an older pet, and I have her on special "kidney friendly" food.

Watching: Just Another Girl on the IRT (1992) starring Ariyan Johnson, Kevin Thigpen and Ebony Jerido. I saw a preview for this movie once, and thought it looked interesting, but I never did get to see it. A capsule review of it seemed to paint the picture of Chantel as a heroine, but this
Hal Hinson's review gives a different viewpoint. I can't decide what the director intended. I mean, I felt disappointed in Chantel, but am I supposed to, as the reviewer suggests? At any rate, it's an unusual story about poor black WOMEN (for a change, instead of just the "boys in the 'hood" that we might see occasionally) so I think you should see it, and let me know what you think if you do.
