Good morning to you all. Man is it humid this morning. Jack doesn't have to go back downtown until 10:30 this AM because they selected the last 40 and he was one of them. If he doesn't get picked this morning, he is done and will go back to work tomorrow. He skated by a sequestered jury yesterday as they willed the panel before getting to him to question.
I forgot to weigh yesterday so did this morning. I am down another 4 lbs, which means 46 lbs total since the beginning of the year. It's a little under 2 lbs a week and that is great. I would still like to be 10-15 lbs less than this by the cruise, but I am not going to fret about it. I am having too much anxiety with the dog, getting ready for the cruise and other stuff to worry about how many more lbs I will lose.
Fortune threw up 3 times yesterday and did eat in the morning, but I put out a second feeding and he wouldn't eat. I gave him a dose of the sulfur stuff yesterday afternoon and his tummy settled down. Frankly, I am to the point where I am afraid this is the game we are going to play until he dies. All I can do is feed him and encourage him to eat, try to get his meds in him, etc. I think right now his hip is giving him a lot of pain as he won't jump up on anything and is afraid to go in and out the door to go pee, which is how he hurt himself in the first place. He won't eat the chews so I may have to go to a chewable pill or something, I don't know. I may need to just go and buy a pill shooter to get pills down his throat at this point because he is spitting them back out even when I get them down into his throat cavitiy, which I have have no idea how he is doing it as I put it as far as my finger will go down his little throat.
This is haircut, grooming, haircut weekend. We also have Thomas all day on Friday, which should be fun. He wanted to come and spend the day until we take him to his bus to go to Jamboree. He is going to W Va for scout jamboree this year. I imagine he will be bringing a huge load of stuff to take with him.
It is so quiet in the house this morning even with Jack still home. I was so concerned about Fortune yesterday I never could get upstairs until late and then the upstairs was stifling hot as the ac upstairs was not turned on so I will tackle it this morning after Jack leaves.
It is loin chops, mashed potatoes and veg for us today. They had the little watermelons at the commissary and I bought one and wished I had bought two. They are juicy and sweet. I slice them open and cut them into chunks and bag them up then just put some in a bowl. Jack won't eat watermelon for the most part so I get to hog them all to myself. I also have some lovely pineapple, strawberries and blueberries to eat. Jack likes to put sliced strawberries on his lowfat ice cream for dessert so I go through those pretty quickly. My aunt made hamburgers for lunch while we were there and had these gorgeous tomatoes. She is in her 80's now, but spry as ever and I asked her if she grew the "maters." She said no, her dil gave them to her and they were so delicious. I put one on my sandwich and took three slices to just eat!
I guess I should get my yogurt, banana and make myself an egg for breakfast. Have a great day all! Faye
