On the web
I am at a conference and have been told to create a blog. However, I already have one so I am typing so I don't look different but I am not going to share my blog address with the room. I don't know these people and am not comfortable sharing my personal blog space with them. They will get way too much information about me!! :)

Checking In
I don't even remember the last time I posted something!! It has been forever.
Life is good...humming along as it were. I am back on the Optifast Diet and have lost almost 12 pounds to date. I am hoping to hit that 12 pound mark tomorrow because I have to weigh in. If I walk the treadmill tonight, I stand the chance. The good thing with the 11.4 pounds down is that I can get back into pants that I had to give up earlier in the fall. They are still snug but they are wearable. I am hoping that by May, I will be back into my summer time clothes from two years ago or even have to buy new summer time clothes. The chance is there; let's see if the determination is. I do think it is though.
Poor Buster. For the last 3 weeks he has been shaking his head, scratching and has generally been miserable. We thought it was the repeat of whatever had caused issues last fall. I asked for antibiodics and got them so I was comfortable but Buster never became comfortable. I took him to the doctor on Monday and he is in sad shape. He has allergies, a yeast infection in both ears and bacterial infections in both ears. The left ear is the most severe. We had to culture the bacteria because the medication wasn't working so obviously this infection is resistant to the antibiodics. Hopefully on Saturday or Monday we will have the answer and be able to get him the right medicine. He did get a steroid shot on Monday which has helped with the itching and he has medication to treat the yeast infection so that seems to be helping. Luckily all the other dogs seem to be doing well although I noticed Mayer really shaking his head the other day. Hope we aren't onto a repeat!!!
School is going well. We have less than 80 days of school left and I am counting every one of them I think. I am so ready to be off for the summer. Some people say they can't imagine staying home all the time. I can. I think I have enough to keep me busy. We'll see.
Okay...gotta get back to work. Just checking in.
