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. 😊

My First Day at GNC

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!

Mexican Cruise Day 1: Los Angeles, California

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...

New Year, New Goals, New Perspective

I know I haven't written on here in forever. I've been going through some rough times the past couple months. My poor baby, Ninja, passed away and I have had a hard time. I'm not going to write much about it here since it still feels raw but maybe later. Even though Ninja passed away I still managed to study every day leading up to my exam and I passed! Now all I have to do is put my certificate to good use. I am determined to use my certificate to help people. Not only is it something I want to do for myself but it is something I want to do for Ninja. I think of all the time I spent studying with him on my lap or how he would come outside and deal with the Tennessee heat in the summer just to be by me. Sometimes I would have to leave him inside in order to concentrate for a little while and after listening to his cries I would give up and let him out. I won't let all that time spent studying instead of giving him all my attention go to waste. I know me using my certifi...
