I am done moping now. Sometimes I just need to get it out of my system and my way of doing that is by writing it down. Or by whining to Jason, but that never feels as cathartic! This day has been long. My dog is not feeling well. He has some sort of growth on his groin area that just appeared out of nowhere. Jason took him to the vet yesterday and they gave him a cortisone shot and some topical spray and sent a sample of the area to a lab. He seems like he’s in pain today. The vet said that the area might be really sensitive since they had to shave the hair and everything. He seems like he can’t walk more than a couple feet without sitting down, like it hurts him to stand. I’ve spent the majority of the work day worrying about my dog. We’re supposed to find out the lab results in a few days and the vet said to take him back if the cortisone doesn’t help at all. I wish he could talk and tell me what’s wrong – I can’t tell if it hurts, itches or is just uncomfortable.
Poor baby dog.
Aside from that, I forgot to do my photography homework. Okay, more like I kept putting it off. Usually the homework is to take a certain type of picture, but this week’s was to print pictures on different paper and honestly, I didn’t want to buy a ream of photo paper. Whatever, it’s not like a class that I get graded on. I know how to print things. Hell, I work in printing! I still felt guilty about it!
The problem with photography class is that it’s over at 8. So I got home, did P90X and am sitting down to dinner at 9:30! So, how’s P90X going, you ask. So far I have done the chest and shoulder dvd, the ab ripper x dvd and the shoulders and arms dvd. It’s a good workout. The DVDs are an hour but they’re really not because there is like a 10 minute warm up. The number one thing that I noticed so far is that I HAVE to buy heavier weights and a stronger resistance band. I only have 5 and 8lb weights at home and while they are okay for some of the moves, they are way too light for others. I think I’m going to buy some 10 and 15s. Jason and hope to one day have a home gym and quit crappy LA Fitness, so I’m just thinking of buying weights as a contribution to our future.
I’m pooped. Long day. I hope my doggie is better soon.
Poor Murphy! I hope he feels better soon!
I would do almost anything for a home gym. I’m so over LA Fitness…
I feel like LA Fitness has a monopoly around the Atlanta area. There are like no other gyms.
I hope he gets better soon!
Look into getting some weights that you can vary the weight. They are bulkier but its nice to have more of an all in one dumbbell and it ends up being cheaper than buying tons of sets of dbs.
I agree that LA Fitness has a monopoly in the Atlanta area. I was so thankful when something different finally opened up closer to me.
Stephen and I hope your doggie gets better too!!
That’s terrible. My cat is my baby and I can’t stand it when something’s wrong and I don’t know how to fix it.
I have some 10′s and 15′s and 20′s. I use the tens and twenties a lot. Arms even get some 5′s and 8′s depending on how tired they are. Leg’s get 10′s and 20s. It’s a good investment because unless you lose them or set them on fire, they will last forever. I’m glad you like the p90x. It really is an effective workout for me. Tony gets on my nerves some, but that’s what the mute is for after I’ve learned the moves.
I hope your baby feels better! I hate when the puppers get sick for exactly the reason you stated- they can’t tell you how they feel or what they need
. Keeping my fingers crossed for very good results from the vet. Keep on trucking. Hope your Thursday is extra good to you
Oh no!! Hope the TV Star feels better soon.
It’s hard when our pets down feel well. Makes me feel so helpless.
I need to buy heavier weights too – I only have 5′s and 8′s and definitely need to increase soon.
I hope you got some sleep & that Murphy is feeling better!
Poor Murphy…keep us posted! And I hope today is a better day for you!!
Aww poor puppy, I hope he’s feeling better! I hope today is better than yesterday!
Oh, no….I hope Murphy feels better. It’s so sad to see animals in pain like that, especially because they can’t tell you what’s wrong.
Sending healing vibes your (and his) way!
Aww! Your poor pup!! I hope he’s ok! I’m suuuuch a softie when it comes to the furry little guys! And as for your funk – I’m the SAME way. Sometimes blogging it out is the only way to go – and whining to the hubs SOMETIMES helps too but he’s so damn positive all the time that sometimes it doesn’t work as well as I’d like. hehe.
Hang in there – body image days suck, I don’t have the answer or resolution for banishing those days entirely but I think sometimes we just have to get it out of our system here and there before we can go back to the “love your body” mantra, ya know?
oh no! your poor pooch! i do wish they could talk, too. i hope everything is ok. glad you are feeling better.
Oh no! Murphy! Feel better soon pup!
