School, Booking a cruise, and Orange Sauce Recipe

Image
By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
So I woke up Monday morning with awful back pain. I think I pulled a few muscles putting the tree away. I had to lean at really awkward angles to take the tree apart plus it's very heavy. So I decided it would be best to rest and not irritate my back. I focused on doing school and didn't go running or do weights.



Tuesday my back felt great again so I decided to go for a run. That probably wasn't a good idea because my back was aching again that night. 




The view was amazing though.




Wednesday Jake and I decided to book a cruise!!!!! My parents will also be coming with us.
It is for seven days and we will be going to Mexico! I'm so excited to have margaritas on the beach again.  


Thursday my back still wasn't feeling great so I focused on school. Lando decided to keep me company.


Jake is swapping to a different shift so Friday I moved my school stuff to the guest bedroom so I wouldn't wake him up during the day.



Lando was keeping me company again. 



Later he moved to the bed and fell asleep holding his favorite toy. Isn't he the sweetest?


For supper I decided to make Chinese!

I made some lo mein noodles with cashew sauce, some vegetable spring rolls, and brown rice. I also made some homemade orange sauce! My orange sauce is super easy to make and tastes delicious. Plus its only three ingredients! I can't take credit for it though because I found it on pinterest.

1 cup of sweet orange marmalade
1 cup of BBQ sauce
2 Tablespoons of soy sauce

Heat on medium until it all melts together, stirring consistently. Don't let it burn. 
Let sit on low-low/medium for 20 minutes while stirring constantly.

LASIK: Three Week Review

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
So on May 27th I had my LASIK surgery! I'm going to write the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Day Of The morning of the surgery I woke up very early to make the 1.5 hour drive the where the center was. They said to make sure to eat the morning of because they didn't want the valium to make my stomach upset. I managed to get some nuts, granola, and some other snacks down. I was really nervous so eating a bit was hard. If I could do it again I would have eaten an actual breakfast! I didn't eat enough and afterwards I was very nauseous. When I finally got to the clinic I waited about a half an hour after my appointment time to be seen. I wasn't in a huge hurry just very anxious and the wait didn't help. I already new what to expect but I just wanted it done and over with. I was finally called in and we went over some paperwork that I had to sign, they made sure I knew about all the risks involved, I made the payment, and then they gave me a little happ...

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!
