I Have a Little Catching Up to Do...

After being sick for so long and taking 2 sick days within 4 work days of each other, I decided to go to the doctor. The doctor found that my platelets were low, which is normal for me (because of my heart). It is reason to be concerned, but we really just can't do a lot about it. They also found out that my digoxin level was really high. Digoxin is the medicine that I take to help regulate my heart's function. It comes from the plant Digitalis, which is poisonous. Anyway; the doctor took me off of it for awhile, and they retested my blood on Friday. I will hear back about it on Monday. I have actually felt better since I've been off of it. Not 100%, but better.

I was petting and loving on my cat, Sydney, last week when I noticed some black stuff under his chin. I could not imagine what it was, but it hit me- it looked like the eggs I found on Bailey not long ago. So I grabbed Bailey in my arms and took the flea comb... low and behold- she had fleas. And yes, Sydney did too. I bathed them both in Dawn dish soap (as the vet told me would work). Then I Frontlined Sydney. We only had one treatment left, so I had to by Hartz stuff at Walmart for Bailey... however, it doesn't seem to be helping. We haven't found a flea on Sydney since... but we are daily, sometimes multiple times a day, finding fleas on Bailey. How sad. I don't know what happened. Did they get them at the vet? Did they get them from sitting in the window? Did they get it from the basement? I have no clue. But I hope we can get rid of them once and for all.

The kitties are beginning to play together better now. Sydney does much less hissing and growling than he was doing awhile ago. They do play rough... roll around and all that. And each of them has had their share of embarrassing moments while doing so... falling off chairs or what have you.

Jeff and I are still praying about the job situation for me. I am sticking it out for now (mostly for the insurance purposes)... and we're praying about what God would have us to do. I want to be a good wife. In Bible study we're learning all about Proverbs 31 and the virtuous woman. I'd love to be that... and I feel like I can't achieve that when I'm working full time. We aren't sure about cutting out my income. I would still find a part time job (babysitting, nannying, or even photography), but it won't be what I'm making now. So... we'll be trusting God a lot through this. We'll see where He takes us.

My house is a mess (which is normal for me... I just don't seem to be provided with the time to clean it... and when I'm busy blogging, I cannot be getting things like that done!). So I really need to spend some time tonight working on that. Hopefully I can get pictures on here soon of the entire house. I meant to awhile back, but I didn't have my camera with me. I will... I will...
