at home vet

Today was bandage change day for the pup and I had to do it.   I wish the vet could have come over and done it for me, lol.  It took Justin holding her down to get it changed.  She did not like it and she let us know about it.  The new bandage doesn’t look as nice as what the vet did, but it will get the job done and keep her paw from getting infected.

Before that, though we had some breakfast to gear up for the job at hand.  I made some whole wheat biscuits.  I used a recipe from allrecipes I think.  I rolled the dough too thin so my biscuits were flat, but still mighty tasty!

With strawberry preserves!  YUM!

And some of the coffee I got while I was in Louisiana with some warm skim milk.

Then we changed the dogs bandage and I hopped on the treadmill and did a quick mile (well, not really quick because I run at about the speed of a turtle, lol).  I don’t usually work out on Sunday’s because our day is usually full with church and stuff, but we skipped this morning since we needed to get my car taken care of so that I can have transportation.  It turns out that it was just the battery, so Justin is working on that as I type.  Hopefully that will get it back to normal again.

Lunch was a sandwich.  Ham on an orowheat sandwich thin with a little mayo, lettuce and some Franks.  I wasn’t really digging it, so I only ate half.

But I was digging these little bunnies that were hopping right into my mouth!

As soon as my car is ready to go I’m going to hit the grocery store (which I usually do on Saturday’s, but I was kindof incapacitated yesterday).

No idea what’s for dinner tonight.  Any suggestions?

Looking up

Well things are looking up around here.  The AC is working again.  And it’s just my battery that is wrong with my car.  I was thinking it was the alternator.  I got in a workout- 30 mins on the treadmill.  But it was 30 mins on the treadmill in a house with no AC.  Genius.  I was pretty pooped after that that I turned the fan on high and laid on the couch and read with a big glass of water until  I cooled off  a bit.  Then I was able to get a few things done, but nothing that I had to work too hard to do because it was so hot.  I swept and mopped the kitchen, did a load of dishes, vacuumed and tidied up the living room and that’s about it.

Since I wasn’t able to get out of the house to go grocery shopping I had to scrounge a bit for dinner tonight.  We had some leftover chips and cheese from the taco soup earlier in the week.  There was also a bit of ground turkey in the freezer.  And there are always black beans in the pantry(I buy them in bulk at Costco, lol).  So we had NACHOS!

I just layed them out on a sheet pan and layered everything on.  Then I threw them in the oven and let the cheese get all melty and delish!

See?

I had mine with jalapenos, guacamole(I had some 100 cal packs of wholly guacamole in the fridge), salsa, and the last dollop of greek yogurt from the container.

Yum.

Well, I guess that wraps up today.  It was kinda sucky and I’m pretty cranky so I’m going to call it an early night.

Night!
