My boring life...
Well, let's see. I haven't posted anything really since June. How lame is that? I'll try to remember what the hell is up here.
The Boyz...
They are doing pretty good. Right now they are in the house playing bitey face and making very weird noises. If I weren't so lazy I would videotape it and post it. But I don't feel like getting up to get my camera. It's pretty silly playtime actually.
Papi is still a chubba. We have reduced him to 1 cup of food twice per day and we add about 1/2 c frozen green beans to each meal to help fill him up without the calories. He doesn't seem to mind. He has a really bad "hot spot" on his back that I am concerned about. It's in a place where he can't really reach, but he is trying to scratch it with his paws and he is now causing another hot spot where he is scratching. He growls at me when I try to clean it and put stuff on it. If it isn't better soon, I'm going to have to take him to the vet to make sure it doesn't get infected.
Wally is just Wally. I really need to get him into a dog training class. He is so misbehaved. He still jumps at us (and play bites) when we get home. His nails are so sharp that I have scratches all over my body. (he won't let me near his nails to clip them... need to take him to the vet to get them done next week) He pulls a lot when we walk him (even with the gentle leader on his face). Otherwise, he's a sweetheart. ;)
Hubby...
Well, right now I am waiting for him to call me. He's in Keene, NH right now. Staying over and coming home tomorrow morning. We talked briefly at 4:30 but the stupid cellphones were not getting good reception (I hate cellphone reception in New Englan.. it sucks) so he said he would call me back later. Well, buddy, it is later. Call me damn it. I just miss him and want him home. Really, we haven't had any alone time in a whole week. He's been gone since Tuesday with his son and his son's girlfriend. They went to Sixflags for 2 days and he just dropped them off in Vermont today. Hopefully, we can spend some time together this weekend. We are supposed to be going to Fryeburg on Saturday to visit family for the day.
Family...
My step-grandmother passed away 2 weeks ago. She was in the nursing home in Fryeburg for the past 3 years. Hadn't been doing very well for the past year. It's kind of sad, but for the best. She was just a shell of her former self. It's best that she is no longer suffering. My stepdad and his sister are doing fine. I'm sure it is super hard to lose your mom (gosh, I would be beside myself no matter how old she is) but they are doing okay.
Not much else new on the family front. My grandmothers are still tucked away in their respective nursing homes. One of them is now in a gerichair and doesn't know me anymore (Alzheimers). The other one is just very forgetful (short term memory loss) but doing okay.
Otherwise, the rest of the family is doing well. Thank goodness.
Work...
It's been fairly quiet at the hospital up until yesterday. Tomorrow, I will be super busy. I think I have about 18 inpatient follow-ups to complete. Fun. Guess, I will be working a long day tomorrow. Nothing new as far as the hospital being bought out by the big hospital in Lewiston. I know it is still probably going to happen, but nothing has really changed so far. I think I already mentioned it before, but if not, I am planning on taking a whole week off in September for our 4 year anniversary. YAY! I need a real vacation finally. It has been over a year since I have taken a full week off. I can't wait! We are going to go to Boston, but are unsure where we are going to stay. I really want to stay IN Boston, but it is so freakin' expensive for a good hotel (we're talking $400-500 per night). We might wait to book a place until the week or two before on hotwire. My sister got a really great hotel for under $200 when she did that. We will see..
Health & Fitness..
Well, things are doing fairly well in this department. Finally I can say that! I have lost ~8 lbs in the past month. GO ME! I am weighing in every week which really keeps me accountable. This past week, I jogged 15 total miles (which is a feat for me). I still have about 12 lbs left to get to my goal, but I am stoked that I have lost almost 10 already. I am striving to be at my goal by my birthday in October. I think I can, I think I can.... said the little engine that could....
Well, girlies, that's about all I can think about for now.
P.S. Talked to DH finally... I had to call him. Duh. Guess he thought I said I would call him. Gotta love miscommunication.
P.S.S. My mom just called and I've decided to skip going to Fryeburg this weekend as they have decided to not have a memorial service for my stepgrandmother and the family gathering at the camp will not be until 2 or 3 pm. We would have to pick our dogs up at daycare by 5 pm and it is an hour away from Fryeburg. Doesn't make sense to go there for an hour and then come home. We will go another time.
Ugh. I'm ready for bed. Nightie Night! :)
