November 4 Week Wrap Up

It’s officially November, and I feel like this year is flying by.  How does that happen? It’s been a year of growth and self awareness so I don’t really have too much to complain about.

Something I Learned: In the 1960s, the CIA tried to spy on the Kremlin and Russian embassies by turning cats into listening devices. The program, called Acoustic Kitty, involved surgically implanting batteries, microphones and antennae inside cats.

Something about this just makes me giggle.  Really….cats?  Doesn’t anyone know those creatures answer to no one?  Picturing us spending what I’m sure was an exorbitant amount, on trying to get cats to follow some sort of direction cracks me up. You can try all you want to implant these devices in them, but those cats are going to go where they want to go. I can’t help but think all the CIA ended up with is noises from a kitchen or a cat playing in bag.

Fears: I’m scared for November 8 and 9. You can’t live in the U.S. and not feel the stress of this election.  I’m scared for the results.  I’m sure that no matter who wins that there will be an intense fall out.

One Thing I would Change: This mental exhaustion.  This week has been absolutely nuts, and I haven’t been able to fully put myself into a post. I just do not have the energy.

Something I’m Thankful for: I’m thankful for the weekend!  I need a serious relaxation weekend, and I’m thinking I might spend it with Netflix and friends.

Embarrassing Moment: I talk to myself all the time.  It’s a trait I learned from my mom. This week, I was busted talking to myself at work.  I was walking through the rest room, going over what I had to do, and I didn’t realize I was saying it out loud.  One of my coworkers caught me while I was walking around a corner just muttering to myself.  I must have looked insane. Lol.

Loves: Fall television!  There’s something about it.  All my favorite shows are back on and even a few I’m checking out.  It’s a great way to unwind after work and just relax.  Of course, I watch on a lag.  I DVR everything and then watch it the next night.  There are only a few shows I refuse to miss on their initial airing.

 What are you loving this week?
