Catch Up
Yeah I know it's been awhile since I've posted so here's a Mass Catch Up Post...
1) Diet: I started doing Water Aerobics and Aqua Zumba this summer in the evening... LOVING it! Though usually I'm sore as hell the day after Aqua Zumba (Friday nights and Saturday mornings). My weight is still bouncing all around and it's driving me crazy but the exercise helps.
2) Geocaching: Haven't done much of it the last few weeks and I'm bummed. But considering our lows start out in the high 90's, it's just to damn hot to be out looking for things.
3) Frankie: Frankie had his annual cardiology appointment last week and the news was so-so. Apparently his Left Pulmonary Artery isn't growing. So it's a watch and see kind of thing that he can either "Grow out Of and In to" it or will require another surgery where they will have to put in another stent in his heart...
He's having a busy summer. Last month he had a sports camp and cowboy camp, this month he has swimming lessons all month and then next month he has a gymnastics and a horseback riding camp. With all these camps after a half day at preschool, we're really watching his health like a hawk.
Oh and the good news is, he FINALLY has broken the 30 pound mark and stayed there! Now if he'd continue! He's growing so tall, but not fat... Though it is nice to finally see him with a bit of a gut. We call it is Beer Belly because his favorite drink is currently Root Beer
4) Writing: Muses still MIA... I try bribing them but all the ideas they keep throwing at me are horrible, nasty ones that Shannon threatens to kill me for even thinking about them. Plus with all the drama going on off the Ranch Boards, it doesn't really bother me if I lurk and not write.
5) Traveling: Other than day trips here and there for Frankie's doc appointments or geocaching, I'm not doing anything fun until September when Shannon and I invade LA for the Roxette concert. Then we're heading east (Florida and then North Carolina) for my 20th Reunion in October, the TYR Reunion in November and in February, I'm heading back to Arizona for a Geocaching Event that will also take me to Mexico!
Getting my passport was a bitch! Last time I was in Mexico and Canada, all you needed was your driver's license and birth certificate. But I figured at 38, it was time to get one. I'm just now waiting to get it. Hopefully I should get it soon. I may even use it for the TYR reunion this year!
6) Working: I got a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well pretty sure I did. I'm currently going through the background check process. It's for a company out of LA that does medical, legal and entertainment transcribing. And it's a legitimate company! A friend of mine has worked there for almost 10 years and recommended me. It's part time but I get to work from home in my PJ's. And every couple of months, they have a HUGE shindig that employees get to go to and they pay for everything but transportation to the event.
I should hear back next week on the results of my background check. I'm not worried about the drug test, the only thing that would show up is a low level of Vicodin which I specified at the testing place and showed them my prescription. It had been 2 weeks since I'd taken anything, but felt it was better to mention it ahead of time just in case.
Well that's all for now. Gotta finish all my other pre-work paperwork and get Frankie ready for swim camp!
