It has now been 2 months (almost to the day) since I started this diet. I have now lost a total of 16 pounds. My first benchmark is 28 pounds and I am well on my way there. The total over all goal is to loose about 130 pounds in a little over a year. At this rate I should be able to accomplish that and maybe more.

Ok Carlos...I got the message. I apologize to everyone that it has been so long since I have posted here. 7 months goes by quick. I also am trying to change my perspective a bit. I have spent the last few days reviewing my past posts and they are really a bummer. Most of what I talk about is how crappy things are going and how life sucks, well it's ( Read more... )

Yes! I am back...I have a computer now and I can actually check LJ on a regular basis. With that being said, I was wondering if anyone has any pics of me from faire/fight practice? If you do please let me know if they are in digital format or physical. I look forward to being able to keep up with everyone again.

I just wanted to post real quick to let all my fan (no I didn't forget the "s") know that I am still alive. I have not been on line much in the last couple of months, in fact I have not even looked at anyone else's posts in that time either. Things have been very busy with work/school/family, and with my computer being inoperative at the moment it ( Read more... )

Well, Kat let the....cat out of the bag. I have a job now. I start training tomorrow to be a cable internet tech support rep (TSR..heh heh). Anyway, it was brought to my attention that I never posted about my new job so there are people who don't know...this is to correct that mistake. Now no one has an excuse to say they didn't know I have a job. ( Read more... )

So I took Fang for his surgery this morning. It was explained to me that an adrenalectomy is either very easy or very hard, hence the large price range ($400-$900+). The difference is whether it is the left or right side gland. If it is the left side then he just needs to dig through some fat tissue and remove it, no big deal. However, if it is the ( Read more... )

I took Fang to the vet today (thank you Greg for your donation) and as I thought he does indeed have adrenal disease. His adrenal glands are about 2.5 times normal size ( Read more... )

I have been noticing lately that Fang has dropped a lot of weight. This has been a concern to me, but I just increased his daily food to try and get him to eat more. He seems to eat fine and there is no lack of ferret poop, so it is not an intestinal blockage. I noticed today when I went to take him out of his cage that he is missing all the fur ( Read more... )

So Kat and I have now switched places. Last night she left the lights on in my mom's car while she was at work. Of course when she came out the battery was dead. Our friend Scott played the hero and picked her up since there was no way I was going out in that hell-atious storm after being so sick. This morning I drove her to work and spent about an ( Read more... )

So Monday afternoon I got laid off from Sikorsky. The temp agency I used to get the job tells me I cannot work for any UTC company through them for the next 6 months, but they are looking for something else for me. In the last 2 days I have posted about a dozen resumes, so hopefully something will come up soon. This seems to be the way things go, ( Read more... )
