1st Week of November

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Monday: Lando started his new prescription diet.I went to the vet and received a bit of samples. He wasn't too fond of the wet food even when mixing it with his favorite wet food but he loves the dry food.

Tuesday: Lando ate almost all the wet food I put out overnight but that was only after I made it with a special concoction with dry food and cat nip. I also worked on school and got quite a bit done!

Wednesday: Lando ate all of his wet food overnight! I went over to the family's house that I'm working on and worked on their garage for a bit. Then I made some chili, and picked up some stuff from the store, and washed the dishes.

Thursday: One year ago today Ninja passed away. I decided the best way to get through the day was to keep myself busy. I picked up some of Lando's new prescription wet food from the vet today they even found a coupon and gave me $5 off! Then I went over to the family's house and finished up their garage, finished the kitchen, and organized their boxes. It was really cold on Thursday so we closed all the windows and I did schoolwork on the couch next to the fireplace.

Friday: Friday I slept in until 07:30 instead of getting up at 06:30 like normal. It was nice to get some extra sleep in especially since I didn't get to bed until late the night before. I got Jake ready for work and got Lando and myself ready for the day. This morning he didn't want his teeth brushed nor did he want play time. So I just let him eat his breakfast and go back to sleep. I started to feel ill on Friday so I tried going to bed early. I slept awful, waking up every half hour. Part way through the night I started a fever.

Saturday: Saturday morning I realized I had the flu. I still had a fever and laid in bed all day making sure to drink lots of fluids. I made my special drink to try to help boost my immune system. 

Sunday: I was still sick on Sunday but my fever broke in the morning. I kept drinking fluids and made sure to get lots of rest. Just walking downstairs made me tired. I would have to stop half way down and rest.

So needless to say I didn't get much schoolwork or studying done this past weekend. Hopefully I can catch up this coming week.

Externship Update

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
It has been a little over a month since I started my externship! I have learned so much in the last 5 weeks and I'm excited to learn so much more. I really hope I get hired at my externship site. They have been hinting at hiring me and a few things have been said but nothing official has been said yet. If I don't get hired there I'm still thankful for the opportunity and am sure I'll get hired somewhere in the area. Since the externship started I have progressed more than I thought I would. Things I didn't think I'd be doing right now but am: *sending out samples for results *doing some callbacks to see how patients are doing *taking a client and patient to a room and then getting a history and TPR on my own *drawing blood *monitoring in patients and patients coming out of surgery I still have more ways to go but I am really proud of all my accomplishments so far. I will be publishing an official post once I'm done with my results but I just wanted

Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Today my husband and I completed the Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run! We got there at 07:30 bright and early. Before we went I ate a little bit of fruit and packed some things we might need (lots of towels, baby wipes, eye drops, snacks for afterwards, water, and electrolytes). I really enjoyed myself and it was empowering to accomplish it! Jake and I did it together all the way through. I'm so thankful that I have such an amazing husband that is so patient with me and helped me all the way through the event. The event was just short of 6 miles. It had over ten obstacles and included mud pits and a run through the woods that was very muddy! At the end we got some free water, Gatorade, fruit, snacks, and beer! I was very surprised but my Fitbit Surge held up pretty well! The only thing is when we got sprayed with water at the end, the force of the water must have hit one of the buttons and it turned off my Fitbit. That was as we were crossing the finis

Arizona 2.0

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Since I've last posted there have been a few major changes and events that have happened. I have vacationed in the Bahamas, we have moved to Arizona, have bought a house, and have donated my hair. I've been meaning to update this blog for a while but now here I am watching Rome, drinking some cranberry juice, and typing on my laptop. Jake got a position in Southern Arizona as a contractor so we moved here and decided to buy a house. We looked at houses online for about a month before we found this one. It had everything we wanted in a house which was difficult to find. We did a virtual tour before deciding to put down an offer. It was accepted! Then we flew out to Arizona to walk through the home twice before going back to Tennessee and packing up all our stuff. After three days and both mine and Jake's cars breaking down in Texas we finally made it to Arizona. We lived out of a hotel for about a month. Because we were staying there so long, we received a special ra
