It's been a good news/bad news kind of day.
Good News:
Clydas had his vet trip and got his long overdue heartworm test. Yeah!
Bad News:
They have NO idea what the lump on his foot is, but are concerned about it so they took an aspirate biopsy and sent it off to the lab. Oh yeah, and he has FLEAS for the first time in his life! I guess we just lucked out for 7 years.
Good News:
Clydas now has flea, tick, and heartworm protection.
Bad News:
Total dog-related bill: approx $300.00. Ouch.
Good News:
I'm going to have a lot of time coming up soon in order to help me focus on my fitness.
Bad News:
My plans for the fall has changed. I was building a chunk of it around a Volleyball team that recently fell apart. With one person having to back out, and another gal getting pregnant the team was canceled. Apparently volleyball and pregnancy don't mix. Which is probably a good thing for the pregnant gal, because it can't be that much fun without diving and all that jazz.
Good News:
I joined the YMCA! I'm pretty excited about getting started there.
Bad News:
My Sailor is having trouble finding time and energy to go with me, so we've been signed up for a week, but haven't gone yet. So this may be more of a solo trip, unless he has time/energy on the weekends. It's a bit of a bummer to know that I can't expect to go with him on a regular basis, but who knows? Schedules change all the time 'round here, so that could change too!
I got nearly all of my ambitious To Do list done yesterday, including something I didn't plan. I started on one of My Sailor's deployment projects last night. It was tougher than I thought it would be, but it's coming along. While I doubt he'll read this, it could happen, so I'm not divulging much in here for now.
As for the Volleyball thing, it's easily remedied. Since I'm part of the YMCA, there is a good chance I'll be able to sign up for some fun classes. Oh! And I wanted to meet with a nutritionist, but was finding it expensive. I found out the Y offers a nutrition class! Hoping it won't be too full, I'm going to check it out.
The Health Plan:Starting on October 1st, I'll be starting my Galloway training program for the Princess 1/2 Marathon. With some of the deals that Shades of Green has been offering, I'm sure we can afford it. I've decided that I'm going to just go for it, whether I have a cheering squad or not. I know I'll find some Team Voicer there I can meet up with. That will cover my work outs 3 days/week. I'll be registering right after we buy all of the things My Sailor will need before deployment. It's a long list, so I want to make sure that gets covered first.
I'm going to sign up for 1 class at the YMCA to start. I figure one structured class/sport a week would mix it up a bit.
And that covers it! I'm sure, once I'm flying solo, that I'll be jumping in the pool at the Y any chance I get! Swimming has always been one of my favorite activities.

LOL darn just when I had signed up for a volleyball team here... ;)
ReplyDeleteGood job on joining the Y I never had much motivation in going alone, hope you do better than I ever did! Hint if you go more than 3 x ever, well, you did better than me.
Poor Clydas and the fleas...nasty little bugs. I have two lab mixes and yes, the vet can be very pricey - mine are due for booster shots and heartguard and that'll be a pricey visit too so I feel for you.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the volleyball team, but awesome that you joined the Y.
You'll love the Princess Half solo or not!
