First Day After the Flu and Post-Election Day

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Yesterday was the first day where I haven't felt like I got hit by a bus. Yay! I actually felt pretty good. My muscles were a little sore and I was a bit tired but overall I felt pretty good. I woke up after a NyQuil induced sleep and opened the windows, turned off the outside lights, and fed Lando his breakfast. Then I got ready for the day and I voted!

After voting I came back home, watched a youtube video while I ate some breakfast and drank some water mixed with Mio and some On Guard EO Blend.

Afterwards, I started putting all of my notes into flashcards on my Cram account. I finished all of my notes and then got to some house work! Then, I made some supper for Jake. I made fajitas because its super quick and easy!

Today I woke up and saw the results from the election. (Don't worry I'm not going to make this into a political post.) You could say I didn't wake up extremely happy. So to cheer myself up I put on some Christmas music and got ready for the day. I got my new lipstick in the mail yesterday for the winter season and used it for the first time this morning. I feel so festive with it on. Then I went to the store and strolled around looking at all the Christmas decorations. I even picked up a few ornaments.

After looking at everything Christmas-y I started my grocery shopping. I didn't have a huge list of things to pick up. Just some stuff that we ran out of:

*bread
*tofurkey meat
*vanilla almond milk
*chocolate almond milk
*tomatoes
*soup
*cough drops
*cereal
*tortilla chips


Once we use up our groceries and make the meals on our meal plan I'm going to do a green smoothie cleanse. I'll be making grocery lists and meal plans. I'm excited to post it on here.

My First Day at GNC

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!

So Many Changes

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
During my last post I was still doing my externship at a veterinary clinic near me. Since then, I have been hired as a veterinary technician! I have been loving this job. It's been stressful but has been so rewarding.  My goals lately have been some smaller ones such as getting better at blood draws (I have hit 100% of my veins in the last 3 weeks!), triple checking invoices, and getting all my charts completed by the end of the day. When I feel that I have improved enough I will start training in surgery. That's my goal anyway. Then, once I start training in surgery and become a surgery tech I can start working towards my goal of becoming a critical care technician.  I have progressed in my career but I have also progressed in my personal life as well.  I have finally hit my goal weight since getting off my birth control and getting the Paragard. Now my next goal is to build more muscle, gain endurance, and become more flexible again. I have also started can...

Mexican Cruise Day 1: Los Angeles, California

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
We left home Friday evening with plenty of time to spare to get there early Saturday morning, find parking, get checked in, etc. Before we left town we stopped at one of my favorite restaurants and got supper. After hitting the road we went through Tucson and Phoenix with no issues.  After a rest stop in Phoenix with bathroom breaks and stocking up on food and water we were set to drive across the desert with no stops for at least a few hours. About one hour into the desert (1am) we got a flat tire! A nail was left on the side of the road and punctured our tire. Thankfully my Dad was with us. Jake and my Dad managed to get the doughnut on the car. We tried calling AAA but there was an accident and the person coming to help us got flagged down by the police to help out.  After getting the spare on we tried finding a tire shop that was open 24 hours. There wasn't one within 100 miles! We drove to the closest one and then they had to help someone else out so n...
