Yes I am still alive. Yes, I know the website has not been updated for a couple of months. Yes, I know I have not blogged in a while. I have just been very busy with this technical program. I have a test every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I have an average of 30 words to learn generic and brand names of drugs a week. I hope some day to update the website.
Henry and Taco, my dogs, are doing great. I am still losing weight albeit at a much slower than desired and I plateau for a couple of weeks before taking another pound or too. But, I have and continued to change my caloric intake and my eating habits.
My Mom is doing great and my Dad is still ornery as ever and still a pain in the butt.

Well, I am getting real tired of politics and the politicians in this Country. I am not voting for Obama for sure and I don’t like McCain. I personally do not like either choice. However, I know where McCain is coming from. Obama is a great Orator but that is it. When pressed he is never specific. I also fear he would give into other nations because he is afraid to get us in a war even though it maybe for the right reason. The Iraq War was wrong to start but we must finish it or breed a 1000 more terrorist that will hurt us.
We need people in Congress who is going to not only say he is going to look out for the “little guy” but recognize who the “little guy” is and start telling big business about their many unfair business practices. Such as telling banks they are not going to charge any more ATM fees. It cost them almost nothing to run these things and if I bank with Bank A and go to Bank B because it is closer I should not have to pay. Because I can guarantee you that a Bank B customer will use Banks A ATM and it works out in the end. That is just one of the number of ways Americans are being bleed dry by Corporations.
I have a book full. -
Hello everyone, I started school last week. I am going to Brewster Technical Institute for Pharmacy Technician. So, far so good. I know I have not blogged or updated my website in a while. But, I have been pretty busy the last couple of months doing several things. Getting ready for school (i.e. physical, getting clothes and supplies). I have also been getting things ready to probate my grandmother’s estate so that my Aunt and me can get what was left to us transferred legally. Plus, I have been trying to lose weight.
On those notes, school’s start was successful. This is going to be a rough program but I am learning a lot. Secondly, I see the Probate lawyer tomorrow and hopefully after paying approximately $2000 get Grandma’s estate done. That leaves the weight. I lost 14 pounds initially. I have gained 2 back but holding steady. I need to go down again. I had to start taking Metformin because by glucose reading was on the border line. My doctor did not want me to get Diabetes type 2. If I lose enough weight and keep it off I could stop taking the medicine.
Well, that’s it for now. I promise sometime in the future, maybe this weekend, I will get the website update. -
I thought I would give everyone a weight update. Well, I have lost a total of 13 pounds in 2 weeks. I hope to have lost 25 in another 3 weeks.
I know that I have not updated the website the last couple of months. I will get around to it. Hope everyone is well. -
My neice’s birthday was yesterday and she is 11 now. We had a great party at my house today. All had fun and good food.

I started my diet yesterday. I am on the Slim-fast low calorie diet. I am trying to keep my daily consumption of calories between 1200-1500 calories. So far success. Although I have constant hunger pains and lately having headaches. I have increased my caffeine intake and that seems to help with my headaches.

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July. We had a great meal here at home. Barbecue spare ribs, hamburgers, greens, squash casserole, baked beans and coleslaw all homemade. Have fun everyone.

Well, I just got a call from the dermatologists office. The area the cut from my leg was just a simple skin tag. However, the area they cut on my back was skin cancer and according the the biopsy it was the best kind of skin cancer that does not spread. Also according to the biopsy they cut out all of the area as it was contained in the specimen.

Went to the dermatologist yesterday and he cut a piece of skin cancer on my back out. It was small and he said they will have it tested to see what specific kind it is. But, he thinks it is a basal cell carcinoma. He said this was good because if it is this type it was gone and it would not spread. By back is still in a little bit of pain. I will keep everyone updated.

I know it has been a long time since I updated my blog. I have had a lot happen in the last couple of months. First of all, I am no longer working at Walgreen’s as a photo specialist. I left to concentrate on Pharmacy Technician school coming up in a couple of months.
I went on a vacation to Tennessee. Where I learned a lot of new stuff. Although it was an expensive trip. The cost of the rental car was unbelievable. I will be posting a few pictures in the next week or so.
Since, I have been home, I have been busy on about three different projects and only one is not costing me anything but time. Then I come down sick with the norovirus. I wasn’t even on a cruise ship. I have been sick all night Thursday night all day Friday and I am finally feeling a little better today. I caught it from my niece who caught it from Chuck E Cheese. My dad was about an hour behind me. We both had a throw up fest for about an hour on Friday morning. Unfortunately, I won. Today my mom came down with it. I have been that sick since my food poisoning a couple of years ago. Chuck E Cheese should be forced to close…….
