Veteran's Day Festivities

Last Friday was Veteran's Day! Since Jake is the veteran in this family we mostly did what he wanted all day. So for breakfast I went out and got Jake's favorite breakfast (TacoBell) and put all of his food on a serving tray and let him eat breakfast in bed. I was pretty hungry so while he was sleeping I ate my food out on the balcony. After I was done I came inside and was able to see Jake's face when he woke up and saw breakfast waiting for him in bed. :)

It was a bit chilly so I decided to put my new Christmas hat on!

Afterwards, Jake went and played World of Warcraft while I worked on schoolwork. Lando decided he wanted to help too. :)

Even though it was chilly out I opened the window for Lando to enjoy so I bundled up and drank some hot apple cider to keep warm.

When it started to get dark out we turned on our green porch light!

Then, we went to get carry out since all the restaurants were packed. We curled up, got cozy, and enjoyed our food at home.

I Love My Coffee

I love coffee. I don't necessarily NEED to have it. I even stopped drinking it for a while and just had tea but I love the taste of it. I used to drink Starbucks all the time but now I make my coffee at home. When it started to get hot here I stopped drinking my coffee in the morning because hot coffee and hot weather was just too much for me. Then I realized I should just make iced coffee! I have a couple recipes I have been using lately and would love to write them. Some of them are healthy and some of them, not so much. Vanilla Creme: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Vanilla Creme SweetLeaf Stevia Drops to taste Chocolate Raspberry: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Chocolate Raspberry SweetLeaf Stevia Drops to taste Iced Mocha Coffee: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) A couple squirts of Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup You can basically make it anyway you want to. I would love to get the flavors of Hazelnut, Pumpkin S...

So Many Changes

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...
