One of the worst days of my life...

I have had one of the worst days of my life today. My little boy cat Nefer has been hacking like he’d got a big hairball since the Florida weather warmed up two weeks ago. Since Tamses was due for a vet visit, I asked hubby to bring in Nefer too just to see if they could get Nefer to spit up the hairball. They took him in and discovered that he had fluid and blood in his lungs. They ran a bunch of tests and discovered cancer. My poor boy started to have trouble breathing and we had to put him down so he wouldn’t suffocate to death. I can barely believe my little boy is dead… I’m so completely heartbroken- like someone has punched me in the chest.

April 1st!

April 1st already! Son of a b*tch. I can’t believe we’re ¾ of the way through the fiscal year… Yes, my year starts July 1 for all intensive purposes. Sad really but that’s the daring and exciting life of a fiscal person!

I’ve now lost (and kept off) about 20 pounds doing Atkins. I’m actually getting pretty used to it and I’m eating better than before (strange as that seems). Atkins has the reputation of being a “bacon and egg” diet but it’s really easy to do leaner meats and salads with cheeses and nuts (and low carb sweets every now and then). I think my skin may also a cleared up a bit with the break from all the junk food. AND I’ve only had a stomach problem a couple times in the last 6 weeks. Perhaps I’m sensitive to gluten or flour or something ridiculous like that…

FINALLY got my act together and finished compiling all my tax and accounting records for my CPA to do my taxes (I take 8 weeks, she takes 1 night…) and *drum roll please* I DON’T owe them money this year. I came mighty close last year but this year I’m in the clear with a refund! Whooo hoooo!
