Finally got my fill!!!

Holy cow where did the week go? 

Tuesday night I swear we had a hurricane blow through.  The only other storm like it I remember was when I was working Katrina recovery in ought five and Rita blew through.  Our power went out at 11 that night.  I stopped by the house at noon and the power was back on, a few minutes later Dennis got there to start cutting trees off the fence and storage building and it was off again.  We finally got restored at 7 that night.  This morning while I was getting ready it started to flash again.  My butt puckered a little but it didn't go out, thank god.  One of the building leases I manager for work had the roof blown off and I am bending over backward to get that taken care of.  What sucks about that, we got more rain last night and today so I sure hope the patches work.  Really strange weather for late July!!

I went to the band doctor yesterday.  I was supposed to get a fill at 5:45 and stay for the seminar and talk to them and answer questions.  Well Dr.
A didn't end up getting there until almost 8!!!  Don't get me wrong, I was answering questions and stuff but it still kind of pissed me off.  I got .7ccs though.  I feel tighter so I hope it is enough to get me back on track.  I was 131 this morning.  I am 19 pounds above my secondary goal and 8 pounds over my first goal.  I told Dr. A that this summer has been a shit storm and that I really think that the stress is making me hold on to the weight.  Granted I did go overboard when Dexter died, eating donuts and drinking root beer every morning but that didn't last and I am still gaining.  I am going to call next week and get a full blood work-up done including hormone levels.  I told him that when I wake up in the mornings my fingers are so puffy I can't get my rings on.  He told me that the stress hormone cortisol as the same effect on the body as taking prednisone and he thinks I need to step up the exercise to help with the stress.  I am going to try to get to the gym on a more consistent basis.  It has really been hard this last few weeks though with my friend passing away and the storm crap.  Hey, I can clean up my yard and not have to go the gym.  That will be a work-out!!!

I am going to get my hair done tomorrow.  I have to get my turquoise and purple streaks taken out.  It is just too expensive to maintain right now.  Maybe I can find something else fun to do this fall in time for race season.  I am sad to see my funky hair go but $40 a month adds up fast!!

I dropped my big girl off at the groomer this morning.  I don't know why that makes me so nervous but I am fighting the urge to call and check on her and she hasn't been there 3 hours yet.  This is my Pyrenees mix so it will take awhile.  She is getting hot spots again so I want to get her shaved down so I can keep an eye on it.  I know you aren't supposed to cut their hair but I can't stand to watch her all itchy and freaking out trying to get the undercoat ripped out.  I hope she will be ready at lunch.

OK, I better get busy.  Not sure what the weekend holds.  Lots of sleep hopefully!!

Have a good one!!

  3. I always sit and worry about my baby when she is at the groomers too! I always tell them to call me as soon as she id done so she doesn't have to stay there anything longer than necessary :)
