Thanks to my Mom and Dad for the lunch on my Birthday. My sister for the ice cream cake and my brother for the gift card.

Well, its my birthday. Yep I am 40. Don’t feel like it. Both physically and financially. Nothing big planned.

Well, today was a bad day for me. Not at school that was actually a great day. But, the day turned south when I went to the doctors office for my 3 month visit. First, I am losing my battle with losing weight. I have gained 2 pounds. Secondly, my blood pressure has been borderline for years. Well today my doctor put me on blood pressure medication, Benicar. I am taking Benicar for the blood pressure which is slightly elevated, Metformin to keep me from becoming a diabetic. My glucose is elevated but not considered to be diabetic and my triglycerides are high. So, I am staying on my Tricor. He says those 3 could be stopped if I lost a lot of weight.

My last fish a Bahia Shark died. He or she not sure which one they were, was 6 years old and the last fish in our tank. So the little guy is gone. I will miss him.

It was an exciting week at school. We learned and operated on a machine called the EM24 by Baxa. Our school is the first school in the nation to have one. Usually you only find this machines in hospitals or home health care setting. By getting this training we are a step ahead of the competition.

Now it after a busy week of learning and test taking. I am taking the night off and watching a couple of movies. Take care all.

It has been a busy weekend. I finally got my new monitor in. My old one gave up after 6 years. In fact, it would not even show anything today. I did not think the new one would be here until Monday. I went out the door and there the new monitor sat on the front porch. I was glad because without it I would not be able to do anything on my computer. 

I had a blind date tonight. Mutual friends setup us up. I had a great time and this is my first blind date that was a hit instead of the misses I had on previous blind dates.

My Cousin Tina and her husband took my Mom and me to Joe�s Crab Shack. The food was excellent. I recommend the place for the food. I had the crab of course. They make an awesome Lobster Bisque soup.

However, we had to wait an hour and half to get a table and the service was not the greatest. That was the only negatives.

It was great. When I move from Florida someday this is one of the few things I will miss.
