Anyone driven a mazda 2?
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
We biked to the farmers market today, which was a lovely family outing, but now my thighs hurt and my brain seems to have leaked out my ears. oops.
Does a lack of carbs leave you with brain fog? For the first three days I was fine, but today I just can't wake up.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have. I chose a Mazda 3, but only because I needed room for our ginormous dogs in the back. Jason speaks very highly of Mazda's engineering and service.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
When my little brother went shoping for a new car, he actually measured the height of his dogs chin when in the sitting postion so Cisco would have maximum comfort resting his head out of the window.
I guess that's slightly less absurd than shopping for apartments with my cats outdoor needs and safety coming first. Oh, the money I'd save if I didn't have cats. People (me) joke about crazy cat ladies, but, if I didn't have my gals, I think I really would be crazy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It's not crazy to be a lady who takes care of her cats. It's crazy to try to take care of more cats than you have resources of time, energy and money to care for properly.
Signed,
A cat lady who makes sweaters to keep her part-Siamese warm and slings to carry him around in. (That's not crazy. Paying $90 to a pet supplies website for those things WOULD be. ETA, at least on my budget.)

I think I need to drive one and soon. Because it is coming in as the most reasonable for what I'm looking for in a car (runs, has wheels, small, manual) at the lowest end of prices for that class of car.
I can probably get a decent loan through AAA if I do the financing end myself, though it seems Mazda has a promo on right now.
Well, will have to drive one and see if I don't hate it. There's a dealer up in Towson if I can get up there sometime this week. Which I might not be able to, it's another clustergfuck of a week. And I might not have a driveable car!
Oh, did I mention I am ALSO trying to looking into refi my mortgage?
I don't know why I don't just start throwing myself off the deck repeatedly. That would be more fun.

Replace gal with guy and cat with dog and this would be me.

Guess what I did? Locked the keys to my new office IN my new office. I have to figure out who to ask on Monday to get let in. Nice way to make myself look organized and together.

I understand that he brain runs on glucose, so yeah, it makes sense that low carb could do that. I've read some forums that refer to it as "low carb flu," with brain fog and other symptoms.

I know it's different for everyone, but low-carbing made me fuzzy-headed and punchy. It felt very similar to being on Prednisone. (Which is why I decided that diet was not for me, and went and ate some pasta.)
