Good So Far

Yes I know the week is only a day in and here I am, excited about the fact that it is going good. Hey why not? If I was pissed off or the week had already went south on my then everyone would be interested and have something to add to it.

Yesterday was mostly scheduling and putting out fires that were lit last week. I need to continue to do more of that housekeeping today as well and hopefully it will be the end of it. Then I can start working on my teams end of the year reviews - probably one of the most difficult parts of my new position next to scheduling our moving target of a game schedule.

Bananas

So this week we started Zoey on bananas and now after a few meals she really likes it. We have to be sure to mix it up really good otherwise she gives us a big scrunched up sour face. There is lemon juice at the top of the puréed bananas so they will not turn brown. It works really well and they do stay nice and yellow. If we mess of mixing them though we get a funny face.

So far we have been 100% lucky with all of the food we have given her. Everything from vegetables to fruit she has been okay with and has not gotten any negative reactions - awesome! Not sure what is next on the menu but hopefully it will be something else that she really likes. If not all we can do is continue to try things and see what she does and doesn't like.

Everything we've read said to start off with the most sour stuff so that is what we've been trying to do except for the bananas and apples. Hopefully this will continue and she will not have any problems with anything which would be great. I will keep this updated though just in case that does happen.

Yep

Other than that an average day. There is still a wildfire burning not to far away so we are getting all of the smoke and ash from it here in the valley. It really sucks, obviously not as bad as it does for those near the fire or those fighting it, but you know what I mean. Hopefully they will get it put out sooner than later and the smoke will clear out.

Because the smoke is so thick and the ash is blowing around I am going out in it to go for a bike ride, as much as I really would like to. Days like this I wish really bad that I had the trainer here already. That way I could go hook the bike into download the route I want to take and off I go.

So for today that will have to be it. A nice short one for sure! I am exhausted at the moment and need to get some good rest tonight since I have school tomorrow. I cant wait until its all done at the end of November. I am ready to stop going at this point. It's wearing me out mostly because I tried to do what I usually do and go above and beyond by doing dual programs.

No matter it will all be done soon enough and I can get back into the normal day-to-day routines vs. having to worry about that. Its also up at the campus this time and I don't really care for it up there. Lunch is a real pain in the ass and because the parking situation is such crap I have to have Cicely drive me and pick me up. At least there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

OK for real this time - have a great night!
