Ok, so it is obvious by now that I really suck at remembering to sit down and post stuff. In my defense I've been working 55 hr weeks since the end of July. Kinda hard to get everything done on only one day off per week!
So, let me recap at least some of what has been going on with me since I last posted in July (YIKES!!). I started class in August. I'm taking Geology to get my lab science requirement out of the way. I mostly like the class but there are a few things that I wish were better... Oh well! Next semester I'm going to get my Computer and Social Science requirements out of the way by taking Info Processing Systems (basically a class on using Office) and Geography. Hopefully neither one will be to intensive since tax season is fast approaching.
The local Celiac chapter has had a couple meetings. Since I'm the secretary I knida have to go...Most of the time I like it just for the opportunity to try different gluten-free foods! At one of the meetings, one of the ladies had just returned from a conference in Denver that is called a food summit...Evidently it's all sorts of chefs, etc and you get to try lots of food and get lots of free samples. It sounded really neat so I'm going to try to go next year. I'm even going to drag along a friend and one of my cousins with me. When I have more details I'll post a link. The food is good enough even normals like it! ;)
Let's see... What else? Well, I had my first mammogram on Friday. There's a history in my family plus I have increased risk because of other things so my doctor wanted to go ahead and get a baseline... It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. And I'd rather go thru that than end up with undetected breast cancer. I haven't told my dad about it since it's just the baseline screening.
Oh yeah! Other medical news. In July I found out that I have a Vitamin D deficiency. The normal range is between 32 and 100. I was at 12! So my endocrinologist put me on 50,000 units of Vitamin D twice a week (100,000/week). I had another blood test a couple weeks ago and I'm up to 51. Yay! So now I get to reduce my dosage and only take one pill a week. Turns out all my fatigue and muscle weakness was caused by the lack of Vitamin D.
I've been watching some of the new shows this season. A couple I'm still deciding on, a couple I like, and some I like but I don't mind missing...

I now have digital cable with DVR and I love it! Through On Demand I was able to watch the first season of Dexter on Showtime and now I'm hooked! The second season has started and I watch every week... It's definitely one of those shows you get hypnotized by...Especially if you don't mind dark comedy.
Oh! I got my kitten. Her name is Saucy and she's almost 5 months now. She gets spayed and declawed this month... Those are the pictures you see...
What I'm recording tonight: Chuck, Heroes, Journeyman
Book I'm reading: Howl at the Moon by Christine Warren
What's in my DVD player? Doctor Who Series 2 Disc 5
Question of the day: What new shows are you watching?
