Hello, all!

I'm sorry I haven't posted anything recently. Last week was... interesting. 

My dad's out of the hospital, but we haven't been able to get hold of him to talk to him. We aren't sure if he just hasn't charged his phone or if he's being an obstinate shit.  Both are likely.   So I'm gonna call my aunt today to try and get a status update and find out if he's staying with an aunt or if he's back home or what.  Ahhh, family.  

Last week at work was probably the most fun I've had in a long time.  Probably because I wasn't actually doing my job.   I was on a special project that I got assigned early Monday morning.  So rather than work my normal schedule, which is 7:30am to 7pm, Mon, Tue, Fri, Sat, I worked 9am to 6pm, Mon-Thur. This meant, since I missed my normal two days off, I got Fri-Mon off.  Yay!  I haven't had a four day weekend in I can't even remember. It's been glorious!!

It makes me kind of sad, because I had such a blast last week. If my normal job was like that, I would have no problem working at the company, and would probably actually look forward to going into work.  As it was, it was a nice break before the hell of 4th Quarter starts.  They had my department on the phones all last week.  *Shudder* I can only hope that the issue was resolved so that we're all back on chats this next week.  

But since I had a rare Friday off, I was able to go to the local Farmer's Market and get some fresh veggies and some other odds and ends.  I also had to take Rodney to the vet.  He was limping for a few days, and not resting on his front paw, so I took him in and over $200 later, it was determined he had sprained it.  Sigh.  Oh, well.  At least he's healthy and happy, so that's all that really counts. 

Today I may go help my mom's best friend organize the library in her classroom.   I don't think it will take very long, and if I just do a hand written inventory I can come home later, throw in a movie, and type it up quickly. Other than that, though, I don't really have any plans except to be lazy!  Put in some movies, read a book, just relax and play with the kitties. Maybe lose myself in one of my hidden object games, lol. 

Oh, I also made banana bread yesterday!  It's gluten free, so I was a bit worried it wouldn't taste right, but it turned out amazingly!!  I'm so happy to have found a good gluten free flour that doesn't affect the taste of the items.  Yay! 

I hope all of you are doing well, and having a good weekend.  Take care!

Poor kitty. Good on you for taking him in. Paying for an unnecessary vet visit makes me cringe, but I know in hindsight it was the right thing to do and at least I'm glad it's not something serious.

Kudos on your gluten-free creation! ^_^

Thanks, hon. It was a good weekend, but my dad's back in hospital, so we were dealing with that. Still, I had a good time relaxing and just enjoying not being at work!

Rodney is my problem child. He has an auto-immune disease, so taking him in has pretty much become routine. At least this time it was for a different reason, lol.

I've found eating gluten free is both harder and easier than I expected. In some ways I have to eat healthier, because a majority of junk food has wheat in it. On the other hand, it's so expensive to find regular foods, like flour or cereal. Still, I feel better, and I've lost weight, so it's worth it!
