We had such a wonderful night! I got home to be greeted by all the "girls" welcoming me home. It was almost a fight over getting in lap time with me. Samantha is already in my lap, Giz wants her turn and dares to get up in Samantha's face and growl at her to MOVE and move NOW! Bed time was great, Amy, Samantha and Boo all took their spots and stayed there all night long snuggling with me. It was soooo sweet! I think I enjoyed it more than they did..
I had the sweetest dream about Amy while I was gone. I dreamed she somehow got out of the house and I found her out in the yard, curled up in the cool grass just smiling, so pleased with herself at what she was doing. It was SO darn sweet! That dream stayed with me the rest of the trip...
We had a lovely trip, long ride to get to the boat and a long ride to get home but the 28 day trip itself was really enjoyable. 2 of my giants are on diets now and with my help are changing their lives. One of the biggest has lost something like 48 pounds since Christmas trip and no longer needing his medication for his type 2 diabetes and is able to walk a lot better without all that weight. The second dieter has lost 13 pounds since starting his alternate way of eating 2 weeks ago and he said he immediately started sleeping better and his blood pressure is better than it has been in a long time. He said he has never done good on "diets" so this in not a "diet", it is a alternate way of eating and it IS working for him. I keep reminding them both is is all about "choices!", making the right choices when selecting what to eat! You can have "this" or "that".... but not BOTH so pick the best choice.. LOL! So now they ask me which is the best choice of (example) desert.... that cake? or the jello with fruit? or the apple salad?... ALL will satisfy the sweet tooth but which is the lesser calories and lesser fat and the wiser choice?
Did you know you CAN change/reverse high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes with changing what you eat? I told them, THAT is in their own hands and what they want for their future.
So on the home front, we are all happy to be back together again. Samantha and Boo are needing to get their annuals while I am off this time and I am needing to schedule mine also...LOL! I am also suppose to start helping Blaine TNR while off this time. She is the one who got the cats here done for us so I am going to repay her by helping the one who helped me... HER! She has trouble finding anyone to trap during the week so that will be right up my alley and get me out of the house to boot. Hope everyone had a great time while I was gone and now I gotta play catch up if I can and see what I missed the last 28 days...
