Amazing Weather, Studying, and Evy's First Vet Appointment

This week we have had some amazing weather! Sometimes I absolutely LOVE living in Arizona.





Monday I spent a majority of the day cleaning, studying, and then spending time with Lando outside. I have only taken Evy out one time and she was small enough to slide out of her harness. So until she gets a little bigger she will be staying inside for now. For supper I made Chinese food. That means brown rice, steamed veggies, vegetable spring rolls, and some orange chicken for Jake. I was going to make some orange tofu but I couldn't find a block of tofu anywhere in the fridge.








Tuesday was Evy's first vet appointment! We had a wellness check up and then we had a blood draw and had her tested for FIV/FeLV. She did so well at the vet. Lando normally hisses and growls at everyone but Evy just meowed and purred the whole time it was nice not having to worry about her biting anyone. After we got back Evy went into her hiding spot under the stairs and Lando wanted to go outside. The weather was so nice I couldn't say no. After spending some time outside Jake and I went on a date. We went to Ross, Walmart, and finished up the date by eating at Chili's. Then we came back home and cranked the A/C for Jake. He sleeps during the day because he works night shifts and since it gets so hot upstairs during the day the A/C is a necessity for him to get a good night's (or day's) rest.







 It gets quite cold downstairs with the A/C on so I spent the majority of the day outside. Lando came out with me for a bit and rolled around in the dirt. I gave him a baby wipe bath later.





Later that night I was so tired from working out I fell asleep on the couch with dinner in the oven! I woke up to some very burned chicken so instead of a nice home cooked meal for his lunch, Jake got PB&J sandwiches. I managed to make his sandwiches, brew his green tea, and make him iced coffee in a matter of 10 minutes. I was pretty proud of myself.






Wednesday morning I woke up and ran my errands. I picked up my books for school from staples. If you're doing the vet assistant or technician program through Penn Foster I would highly recommend printing your study guides out through them. Getting them done on black and white, with a clear front cover, and a black back cover they usually come out to around $10 sometimes even less. They've really helped me study and retain the information. Then I headed to Walmart to pick up some groceries we needed for the house, and lastly I stopped by the post office to drop off a package.





When I got home I put everything away and went outside with Lando to study. I took a little break and made some Chinese food for lunch. I had brown rice with orange sauce, steamed vegetables, lo mein noodles with cashew sauce, and vegetable spring rolls. It was delicious and so filling.





I was excited to run out to my mail box to get my new Dollar Shave Club box! This month I had them through in a face moisturizer with spf so I can use it on the cruise I'm going on next month.

Jake hasn't been feeling well all week and last night he started to really feel ill so he called into work. We had some burritos from an amazing restaurant in town and laid in bed watching Supernatural. I made sure he drank plenty of fluids and got plenty of rest.




Thursday I spent most of the day studying and preparing for me to take the Emergency Care exam tomorrow. The exams are open book but I try to avoid using my book as much as possible. I also cleaned up the living room, kitchen, bathrooms, and started to massive amount of laundry that needs to be done. I don't know how two people can go through so many dishes and clothes. 😊

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...
