Little Updates

 Hello, blog world. So sorry to have been neglecting you.

 There's really not much to say nor update, but I thought I might as well post a blog anyway since it's been so dang long.

 1. I'm down 17 lbs! I've been dropping weight without even trying. I really keep procrastinating the exercise part (last real workout was the night before Thanksgiving). I'm proud nothing's come back; in fact I keep dropping. Now, if I actually blended in exercise, I would probably get better results! No more excuses, Emilee! Of course, one excuse I use is...

 2. My foot. It's not working properly. Not only did I fracture the Sesamoid bone (a round bone located under the ball of your foot where your big toe is), but I've been dealing with horrible Plantar Faciitis. It's gotten to the point where standing and walking on it causes nerve jolts and pain. Completely awesome. Eh, I'm sure it will heal eventually, I don't feel like going to a foot doctor. Lol. When it gets to the point where I literally can't walk, then I'll drag myself in to see a doctor. I mean, I can walk just fine. It's just if I'm standing too long or walking too much it starts to hate me. No excuse to not exercise, though; I can pull through.

3. Gary's raise. Wahoo! He got a raise 6 months ago, so another one is pretty sweet. He's doing incredible at his job. He has a great relationship with his boss, gets along with all his co-workers, and always designs his own ideas to make his and other people's jobs more productive. He's even had meetings with the big bosses to present his ideas; which always leaves them not only impressed with him, but they use his ideas! It's wonderful. He's an excellent programmer. I think what's even more wonderful is the fact he's being trained in so many areas of programming, he's getting the feeling they're preparing him for a bigger position. His boss even told other workers, "If you need something done, take it to Gary." Employees are constantly coming to him if they need top priority things done quickly. He's such a hard worker, and I'm very proud!

4. Good ol' doctors.  Here's the update with my appointment setting: We're waiting for about $300 worth of rebates to arrive in the mail within the next week or so. After these arrive, I'm going to go ahead and make my appointment to see my RE. He's a specialist in the Los Angeles area, and got top ratings for being one of the most successful doctors in that field. We're not sure how much we're going to have to pay out of pocket for things, so we want to be prepared. His name's Dr. Gary Hubert (he's all over Google). Hopefully this guy, with his knowledge and experience, can find the problem asap.  I have no doubts, though.

5. I'm sure there are other small things, but I can't remember anything, haha. Cats are doing fine; I switched their food to Science Diet (Adult Light formula), because I felt they weren't getting everything they need. I've also even been focusing a bit on their dental health. There's no vet visit planned for teeth, no need unless there's a serious issue, but I've been feeding them treats that clean their teeth, and yes, I even bought a little toothbrush and paste kit. This started when I noticed Dexter's upper canine accidentally punctured his lower lip. I kept an eye on it to make sure it didn't get infected (good thing my care at home caused it to not infect and go away). Lila's teeth aren't as well as they should be. She was a stray for the first 6 or so months of her life, so that made a difference. Dexter's are white and fine, but I still want to keep his mouth clean enough. So yes, cat health! These are my children for now, and I want them to live a long and healthy life. So there :P

 Oh, and the lovely rain. It's been raining for quite some time now; 3 days in a row now? It's wonderful. Okay, so for some people it's not wonderful, but it is for me. I love it! The sound, the smell, etc.

So, life is good! We were planning on having a trip over the weekend, for the 2 of us to get away; but we didn't plan anything. My car needed a new battery, so we bought one, and other things just popped us that kept us from planning our mini-vacation. But instead, we went back to Canoga Park and strolled around their mall on Saturday. But there's always time to have a mini-vacation. This time we'll actually plan one out :)

I suppose that's all for now. Bye!
