This past week seems like a whirlwind. Last weekend my daughter received her orange belt in tae kwon do. It was neat seeing all the different belts do steps to receive the next belt. She got an award for being the most improved in her school. This has been a lot of hard work for her. She’s been working for 7 months for this particular belt. She has her days she likes the tae kwon do and other days she cares less.

The weather has been crazy between the earthquake tremors and the temperatures falling back out. I will be glad when it stays at one temperature. We’ve been walking/wheeling mason my Maltese Poodle, to reduce his weight. The vet says he needs to loose some weight. It’s a struggle to take some of his weight off. He loves to eat. My daughter’s been walking him a couple times a day. We have to start out slow with him because of arthritis in his hips from a birthing injury or the mother attacking him. He was near dead when we bought him from a pet shop. We saved his life. Mason loves to bark, so were trying to curve the barking. He is a high strung half poodle. Darcy my other dog is doing well, she’s a high strung Shih Tzu, but she doesn’t bark as much.

I think this week has been pretty productive. It may be just me, but I think removing those energy saving bulbs has helped. I do still have the pain from living with the lupus and fibromylagia, but I am feeling a bit better.
