The One Where I Babble
I’m really getting sick of working weekends. I’ve had to work the last few and I guess it is starting to wear on me. I hate to be a complainer but sometimes that is just what I do best :mad: Hmph. So I guess the main reason I hate working weekends right now is because Gene is off on weekends and the weather is so lovely out lately that I want to be at home working in the yard or playing basketball or something fun outdoors like that!
Other than that, nothing much new going on. Next week is my last week to work full 12 hour shifts. I will still be working some 12 hour shifts here and there for a month or two but mostly will be working 8-5 and only on weekdays! I am totally excited for that :) Now I can be off on weekends with my baby.
My “diet” is going ok. Nothing new to report on other than I found out I had lost another 10 pounds last week.. So that was pretty good, about 10 pounds in one month. I’d say that is a good rate to lose weight at and I hope I can keep up the 10 pound thing for the next few months. Really gotta buckle down and start eating more vegetables and fruits, even if it has to be canned!
Emma and Astro are doing great. Astro is going through his terrible two phase and is eating every flip flop in the house! He will be staying at the vet while we are out of town for about 9 to 10 days. I feel bad for him, I know he is going to be sad being away from his sister for so long :( Buttt.. I am having then neutur him on Monday so when we come back on Tuesday he will be mostly healed up and good to go. Did I mention how expensive that was going to be?? I am saving as much as I can just to pay for him! Phew. What was I thinking getting a dog that big?? Everything he needs is on the upper end of the price range, lol. It is going to be about $270 for the boarding/neutur. I love him so much though so I don’t even think twice about it :heart: Emma? She’s great. The usual with her, really. She is a great dog and so obedient and smart. She amazes me with her genius every single day!
One day last week Astro was in trouble and went into his crate to hide. I closed the crate door but didn’t lock it.. but he is a big wuss and too scared to open it himself to get out. He thinks if the door is shut it is locked up. So anyway, I was laying in bed and I told Emma to go open bubba’s crate (Literally, I said “Emma, go open bubba’s crate”) and she ran into their room, opened his crate door w/her paw and let him out. Now is that smart or what?? Yes, I love my baby girl.
I better shut up before this entry makes it into the Guiness book of world records under Longest Post Ever by Candace.
P.S. I am getting *so* excited about our trip to California. We are definitely going to Disneyland and the San Diego Zoo. We want to try to catch Universal Studios and am going to spend some much needed r&r time on the beach. Sunsets on the beach :heart: I want to be there right now!!
