Well it turns out there were about 20 earthquakes yesterday near San Ramon! I'm happy I only felt three of them!

Today I called some of my pet sitting clients. They never called when they got home! At first I assumed no news was good news, because they had my numbers. They would have called me in a panic had they not been able to make it home. But after waiting for them to call me for a few days, I suddenly got all these freaky notions in my head, all these "what if?"s. So, I called them just to follow up and offer my services if they need me again anytime soon.

The first guy was actually home! He thanked me very much for taking care of Mac and for calling. Then I left a message for the other woman. The good news is that I know she got home safely, because we have a mutual friend (Bobbi, the same lady who I got all these pet-sitting referrals from!) who talked to her since she got back. (And oddly enough, I'm pretty sure I saw this woman at the grocery store, but she didn't recognize me, and I wasn't totally sure it was her, so I didn't say anything. But thinking about it now, I'm 99% sure it was her. Anyway...)

I felt all cool and professional. I actually felt a lot like I did when I was working as a beauty consultant, except that I felt much more natural talking about peoples' pets with them rather than skin care!

I also traded the JRT lady's house key for my check today. It is nice to get paid. Ah, money. Nice to see you again, old friend.

The highlight of my day was going grocery shopping. (Should I be worried?) I went to Whole Foods, a store I rarely go to. And this particular location is one I've never been in before today! My god, it's huge in there!! There was so much food and a slew of various products labelled "natural" and "organic." I felt completely overwhelmed! I tried to buy honey, and there were eight different kinds. I felt like my mind might implode. I couldn't even find pasta for ages, and I almost gave up and left. But I couldn't abandon my cute mini-cart (small enough to hold one of those smaller shopping baskets), could I? No. Plus, I needed dinner foods! So I looked and wandered and found some pasta! Feeling much more confident in my grocery shopping endeavour, I continued on. I found a variety of other healthy products, and when I decided I'd had enough (enough groceries and enough shopping!), I checked out. I even managed not to exceed my goal spending amount by more than a few bucks! And I came home with some tasty treats.

I'm not vegan anymore, not by a long shot. But you know, I still love and adore soy pudding. Zendon Banana Soy Pudding. Try it. Or maybe not. I love it!

Oh, remember how I wanted to try Atkins and also how I suspected I may possibly have a mild form of hypoglycemia? I met a woman online who found out she was hypoglycemic while on the Atkins diet, because she passed out at work from not getting enough variety of nutrients. Man, I am glad I am just sticking with Weight Watchers!

Speaking of which, I am loving Weight Watchers! It feels great to be taking better care of myself.

And that about wraps it up for today! I am enjoying my first week as an unemployed girl, I must admit. Very much so, in fact. I wonder what sleepy adventures tomorrow will bring? Only time will tell...

Good night!
