I do not have the attention span right now to cut out meat and all animal products right now. Jack said something profound to me the other day, that when I give up smoking then we can work on becoming vegetarian together. Strange how I remember the little things, and completely neglect the really big issues.
I have been home all day doing housework and resting. This is my vacation after all. I want to get out and enjoy the sun. I want to go swimming in a lake. I want to BBQ in the great outdoors. I want to go for a hike and take some cool pictures.
Any takers?

I have a little ADD right now. I can't concentrate on anything for more than like 10 min. Not really conducive to getting anything finished. I was thinking about Quilting today, so didn't happen. I ended up at home fighting a bladder infection and just not a happy camper. Speaking of camping, I guess I should start packing I am supposed to be leaving on Wednesday to go camping for a week with Katie and her daughter. I have to dig all my camping stuff out of storage first, huh? It hasn't seen the light of day in almost a year.
Today was not productive but who really is when they are sick. I did get some laundry done, got my new fabrics washed, still need to iron them and fold them properly. Like I said a little ADD at the moment.
It's funny I still don't know where we are going camping so how can I pack properly.

I was just writing in my journal, starting a new one for my vegetarian journey.
I shouldn't eat the pizza at work, there is cheese on it. What am I going to do for breakfasts, I always put milk or yogurt on my oatmeal. A lot of my diet is already vegetarian but it is those little things, like the milk solids in my Coffeemate, How am I supposed to deal with that?
I realize that this is a huge change in my life. But how far am I willing to take it? Where is this going to lead me?
I am going to have to research every product I use, just to see if it in any way harms animals. Huge. There might be animal products in this computer. Gosh I hope not. What about my teacup collection, most of it is bone china? Is there animal products in the ink in my pens? How does one research these things?
HUGE!!!!

I just watched two videos on a fellow Blogger's page. They were about cruelty to animals, and the impact on the environment. Thank you to Tyler Henry, for sharing. How did I find Tyler? I was scanning through Blogs, (with the next blog button) and found him interesting. So I have been following anonymously for a couple of months. He doesn't post very often. But really hit home with this one.
I need to put some thought into my values and priorities. I have recently found these two movements to follow. They are somewhat related, I feel strongly about both of them.
What do I do about the ice-cream date I have for tonight? That is definitely milk product, and I will not support the dairy industry any longer.
I will not waste the animal products I have in my fridge and cupboards. I will not let those sacrifices be in vain. But I won't let any more sacrifices be made for me, I am not worthy of animal sacrifice.
Thinking about it, animal products are in everything. There is milk in bread. I won't be eating cheese any more. No more leather; shoes, purses, furniture, car interiors. The list goes on. This is huge.
