Hi Everyone,
I survived the 4th! Eek - what a week this has been.
I have been house/pet sitting for some clients this week, and one of their 3 dogs has been really ill. She's suffering from Acute Kidney Failure, and she only has one kidney to begin with. She's been in a 24 hour care facility, but I brought her home the night of the 3rd, hoping the home environment would give her the motivation she needs to eat. Unfortunately, by the morning of the 4th, it was pretty clear that it wasn't 'enough'. So we took her back. The owners come home tonight, and the plan is for them to bring the dog home, spend one night with her and then take her to the family vet tomorrow morning. It's been a tough few days!
In between taking shifts with the dog between Bob and I, we were able to get Megan to the parade she was in yesterday, and then later to a BBQ and firework display - I feel like I need a vacation
Because there was only one of us with Meg for the parade, I ended up walking with her and then we had to walk back to where we parked, all in all, it was 3 miles in extreme heat on two and a half hours sleep. Then after the BBQ, we watched the fireworks on a lake, that didn't start until 10:00 pm because of electronic difficulties with the highlight of the evening being the barge that holds the fireworks catching fire!
Needless to say, I'm glad this part of the week is BEHIND me!
I've been eating 'alright' but I haven't been careful about counting calories, it's just too hard when I'm away from home.
Yesterday wasn't too bad, two beers, one glass of wine, two bites of a chicken thigh, about 6 pork ribs, one brownie, some corn chips & salsa - I'm not going to bother with the calories
Today has been better - It's 3:09 pm and I'm up to 465 calories for the day with room for a snack and dinner.
I'm off to check on diaries now, hope you're all doing well
