- The last time we met, Lyric had been in the ER with pneumonia. I am happy to say that she is 100% better.
- Because of reasons I haven't gone into here in Bloggerville, we are now a three person family. Sophia has gone to live with another foster family. The decision to ask for her to be removed wasn't an easy decision but it was the best decision. I struggled with the decision for a very long time (even though she was only here three months) I really did struggle for a long time knowing that she was not a good match for our parenting styles and the other personalities in the home. The day we packed her up and moved her was very difficult but we've fallen into a new groove and we're all doing well.
- Lyric started and has since decided to stop going to gymnastics. Today was to be her fourth class but she talked to me and said that right now she feels like she's going through enough and would like to hold off on gymnastics until maybe the summer. I do believe that it did not appear that her heart was in it and right now her grades and adjustment are more important that cartwheels and back handsprings.
- My husband's company has purchased over a million dollars worth of new equipment that he will be responsible in implementing, maintaining, and training all staff how to use. To say he's stressed out would be like saying peas taste like skittles.
- I'm two weeks away from the end of the first term of my classes and right now I have As in my classes and two HUGE papers to write. In fact, I'm supposed to be reading research articles for my paper on treating children with PTSD right now but I'm blogging instead.
- Lyric has been asking to volunteer at the local humane society. She's also been asking for a puppy but a kitten would work since we cannot have a puppy. We *could* have a puppy but a) I don't want to go through the puppy stage again any time soon and b) our dog is 10 and does not like other dogs. She's reached the old bitchy woman stage of doghood. I think she and I are going through The Change together.
- Lyric volunteered for the first time yesterday at the humane society.
- Snickers, a 12 week old calico joined our family yesterday.
- That makes seven cats. Snickers joins her siblings: Lola, a stinky fluffy hairy dog whose big fluffy tail making for the best.kitten.toy.ever, and feline siblings: Yetta, Naomi, Vegas, Punkin, Marvin, and Farty.
- We're checking Craig's list for a partridge and Home Depot for pear trees.
- My health is borderline right now. As I've mentioned before I have RA and I take chemotherapy in two forms: IV and pill. My IV form has been increased as much as possible and my pill form had been reduced but increased again. I'm on a new medication to keep the chemotherapy from stressing out my liver, kidneys, and to help keep my hair from falling out.
- I have a CT scan in the morning because I've lost almost all my hearing in my left ear and it has been congested and oozing nasty stuff for a month now. The ENT I saw believes I need a tube inserted (I had them when I was six until I was 15 and they were surgically removed) and the CT scan is because he is worried the RA has begun affecting the bones/joints of my ear.
- I've been researching a diets to help my health. I need a diet for weight loss; however, I need more of an elimination diet that eliminates foods that may be causing the horrendous eczema outbreaks I've been having as well as controlling the inflammation in my body. Weight loss will be a byproduct but for once in my life isn't the sole reason for dieting.
- Our WVU Mountaineers are 4-0 and are EXPLOSIVE! We just recently joined the Big XII and are doing pretty well. We play Texas Saturday so we're nervous but still believing here in Mountaineer Nation.
- This Saturday we will be waking up at 4am and on the road by 5 am to take Lyric and her brother Brady* to a pumpkin festival in Milton WV. I'm praying that my RA won't be too much of a bother because I know a lot of walking is involved.
*Not his real name.
