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!

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...

ACE Fitness

In one of my earlier posts I said that I am going to school to become a Certified Personal Trainer. I am taking online classes through the American Council on Exercise (ACE).  I am loving it so far! I bought the premium package and it included all the study materials plus a CEC math class, an online syllabus, and even videos/lectures that I can view online. It also came with a re-take exam voucher just in case I don't pass the first time. I am on lesson 10 now. I am going over Chapter 7 in the ACE Personal Trainer Manual and have already completed the Exercise Science portion. I am doing about one lesson a week. I take my quiz for the lesson on Friday and then on the weekends I review all of the Exercise Science book and Personal Trainer Manual. You can do it at your own pace but if I don't structure the lessons for myself I will probably fall behind. The schedule I have set up works pretty well for me but it took me longer than a week to go through a lesson when I was doing E...
