Good morning!
Yesterday was a pretty good day. I didn't really get any exercise in but it was hot and I was LAZY!
Lunch was a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup w/ sweet tea
Dinner was grilled hamburgers w/ pepperjack cheese on onion rolls, potato salad, and baked beans
After dinner was 2 vanilla vodka and cokes
I wanted to tell you guys a little about my beloved kitties! Raven, my oldest (by 2.5 weeks), brought in her first big gift today.... a chipmunk! The poor thing is dead but she has been frantically playing with it for a good 15 minutes now! She is having the best time! I took it outside and she played out there for a couple of minutes with it, then brought it right back in! Puff, the baby, seems interested, but she wants to sniff it first and Raven won't let her.
I need some PD for my kitties too. I have been reluctant to post this because it seems silly next to the things going on in other people's lives. My baby kitty, Puff, is sick. The vets don't know what is wrong with her. We took them both to be fixed about a month ago and they found that Puff was anemic. They gave us vitamins to give her, which we did. After two weeks not only was she not better, but they said she was getting worse. They said that her white and red blood cell counts are decreasing. They have tested her for feline AIDS & Lukemia and said she doesn't have that. They did a Lot of expensive blood work and did not come up with anything conclusive. They said that they had hoped that it was a blood parasite, because that is easily treatable. Since they were unable to come up with an answer for what is wrong, they are having us give her antibiotics for 2 weeks to see if that helps. If not, they said the next course of action would be to draw some bone marrow and see if that tells them anything. I am worried abut her. For the most part she seems to be ok. The main time that I notice anything is that she doesn't always play outside when she has the opportunity. Raven will play for a long time and Puff will come inside and lay down. She has been fairly active though for the last two days so HOPEFULLY the antibiotics are helping! Anyway, I LOVE my two kitties and they are such good friends! I really don't want anything bad to happen to my Puff!
Ok, I am very sorry that all my threads end up seriously depressing! I promise I'm working on that! I just don't have a whole lot of people to talk to, so you guys are who I depend on for everything, not just the wonderful encouragement you offer for my weight loss attempts! I appreciate you guys sticking with me during this time when I know that I haven't been doing what I should on the weight loss front. I have really been off track and I have to get going with the exercise again! I know they say that it takes like 2 or 3 weeks to make something a habit, but not that long to undo a habit. I haven't been doing my regular exercise routine in a month. I am afraid I am out of the habit now. I WILL get back into the habit though!! I must!! I have my future babies to think of! Oh, yeah, I read something yesterday that said that giving birth is like a marathon! I thought HMM.. all the more reason to get my butt back in gear and work on my training more!!
Well, gonna go play with my kittens now! Hope you guys are having a great weekend!!
