Hermit-Mode

Hi Everyone,

I know I have been quiet lately (busy, having some emotional issues, busy again, sleepy, then busy again), but I am still here, and hoping to post something of substance soon.

I have had some good news over the last week:  my kitty's diabetes is apparently going into remission.  This means that he is down from 4 units of insulin twice a day to two units once a day.  In a week or so (probably closer to two), we are going to go back for a check up to see if he can be taken off of it entirely.

This is really exciting for me, not only because it means that my kitty will be healthy again, but also because it will mean no more $400/month vet bills.  I will actually be able to have a savings account again!!  I'll be able to buy supplies for my course and pay for the next course in the fall!

Maybe even buy myself some new clothes.  Yay!

Not much else is going on.  The weather has turned somewhat fall-ish, but it is supposed to be sunny again by the end of the week (which should give my sun-burned lips just enough time to heal ... who ever heard of having a sunburn on their lips, anyway!)

I have been spending a lot of time at the beach the past month.  I love the ocean so much!  We have managed to only eat out at good restaurants, thus cutting down how often we eat out by quite a bit.  We even went to see the new Indiana Jones movie (awesome movie - go see it ... like right now!).

I don't know what it is about stories set in the early-mid twentieth century, but they make me feel strangely nostalgic.  Which is bizarre because I wasn't born until 1980.  Ah well, that is a pondering for another day.

Time to get back to work.  Just wanted to let you all know that I am still alive.
