I just have to vent some where because i am very aggravated. To slightly explain the situation without going into huge amount of detail - I am still working extremely part-time for the doctor back in Lafayette.
I DO NOT mind whenever they call me for help - even as yesterday I am in the MIDDLE of my new home inspection, but I take the call and walk the person through the issue - no problem at all - really, I love helping. The problem I have is whenever people that have no idea what is really going on weigh in their thoughts about the situation. The person I hired for the office manager was asking a few tech problems which was easily diverted to the tech support for the office, no big deal. But then she proceeds to tell me that I was asked to return my key and my scrubs. Which the scrubs were a given, and I only purchased on the doctors money for the year - 2 pairs of scrubs as I was hopeful to have the need for maternity scrubs. I mean hell, I even gave someone there my surgery shoes that I purchased they were well over $150. The are amazing shoes and if you are going to be standing on concrete all day they are very necessary - just after I lost weight, they were 3 sizes or more too big, so why keep them? Anyhow, I was asked to give my key tot the office manager - which that is not the reason that I am aggravated. I am questioning why MY key is being given to this said person and not the person who she replaced - that to me would make more sense. Anyhow, I sent an email to the doctor explaining that I had no problem giving the key back, but if I give the key back I will no longer be making ANY trips back to Lafayette to help with the office in person, as many times I have been stood up at the office with "people meeting me up there" So I am not making a LONG trip to be helpful (which I have NO problem with) ... I guess more so I have an issue with the way it is being handled, because I'm pretty sure this person that is giving all these orders (not the doctor) doesn't even know that I am actually STILL employed there. Which now, I have to go back and email all those people and this is just turning into a bunch of crap.
Anyhow, I am not upset, just needed to vent. Just got the call/text I have been waiting for - off to get ready!

Progress on finding a new permanent home
Pretty much as soon as we got up here, the very next day, the Realtor and I were out and about looking at what felt like hundreds of homes. Robert (Realtor) showed me two listing in a town called The Colony - which from our previous trip, I had come to the conclusion I hated The Colony because it was very old home that were badly flipped and in my thoughts completely over priced. Apparently to my surprise, the area closer to where we wanted to be anyhow is a lot better looking area. The two homes were basically everything we are looking for. So, we submitted offers on both homes and then the waiting game began. I loathe waiting!!!!
That evening we received a response on the first home - which was my top pick - that we were 2nd runner up. Not the news I was hoping for obviously, but I couldn't say I wish I would have never submitted an offer - competitive offer at that. Then Sunday afternoon we received a call from Robert telling us our offer on the other home - Luis top pick was accepted and we could start moving forward. So today is our home inspection.
Apparently I am completely confused how the energy system works here in Texas. I called a local power company, which redirected me to a broker for power who quoted several different power companies. I'm still confused. I explained to Robert, I have never been able to pick and choose who was going to provide me power. Its sooo strange! We shall see what comes of this.
Since I have lost weight, I have not been replenishing my clothing. Which goes easily unnoticed whenever you mostly wear scrubs and pajamas. Now that I am wearing regular clothes every day ... its like oh I wore this yesterday and that the day before. I seriously have 5 shirts, so I'm pretty sure Robert thinks I only wear the same thing everyday. Today after the home inspection Luis and I are going to go shopping and get a few more shirts to add to my collection! I also need to get some tennis shoes that I can jog and work out in. There is a fitness center here at the complex and might as well use it while I have nothing else really to do. There is also a jogging path/pet area. I am going to conduct a study of when there is no dogs out over a few days time and then take Rico out for a walk. If I had a cat stroller for Mango I could take her with us, but she does not do well on a harness/leash. I'm fairly positive Rico thinks he is a small dog.
I still have not received any mail yet. My fantastic friends in Lafayette have been checking my mail and nothing is there and I have nothing here. So I have talked to the admin office of the apartment complex, the PO in Farmers Branch TX and the PO in Lafayette LA. So the only conclusion we have come to is that it might be up to 15 days before receive any mail .... so strange. I have never experienced this in a move - not even an out of state move.
Well we officially no longer own the house on Mirada Lane, as of Monday- we have already received our net benefits - so its seriously official. Its a strange feeling. But not a bad feeling, just strange!!
Sunday I am heading back to Lafayette to be at the office on Monday for the commercial for Dr. Finley. I called all my people yesterday afternoon and confirmed them. I now just have to make the hotel reservations. I was planning on flying originally, but I will have to drive because I have a few things in my other friends house to take back with me to TX. Different things the movers could not back. Mostly cleaning stuff, like soaps and sprays. And all of my welcome mats from the back and the front. Even though its only been like what 2 weeks - ish, I still miss everyone!!

All Moved
First off, I am going to confess that I have not been eating well or healthy during this moving process. OK I feel better now that I told you all! Confession is a great thing!
Well we are Texas -ish official. We arrived here in Dallas yesterday evening. Unloaded both the cars and carried all of our belongings that we packed up 3 flights of stars. After the 3rd trip, we were tired but not like on our death beds, I made the statement thank god this move came after the weightloss! Luis agreed, because we both would have been a lot more winded and testy after the first or second trip up the stairs. I am short, its no secret, so carrying heavy totes (I pack EXTREMELY heavy) up the stairs would have been too challenging for me. My amazing husband carried ALL the totes up the stairs. I unpacked everything and got everything put away to make this our home.
I will back track a bit. My family and close friends know the story. We received a call Monday evening that the movers were only going to be coming on Wednesday instead of both days. I immediately became very frantic, as we had to be our Wednesday because of possible closing on Friday! We were not allowed to pack anything, the moving company had to do it all. Wednesday came and the moving group was awesome, they had very long week and then had to come and pack and load our home in one day. Those 3 men worked hard and were extremely friendly, courteous, and happy for the entire day. They didn't even want to take a lunch break, so my friend Angie took me out to get lunch for them and us. They had the entire house packed and ready for me to clean around 6PM. Angie and Jeremeh helped us clean up the house. Men did the garage and Angie and I cleaned the inside of the house.
Then the dreaded part came. Saying goodbye to everyone in our neighborhood. I'm even tearing up as I type this. We really did have the best neighbors. They were more than just neighbors - that seems like a word that describes people you only casually talk to. Our neighbors were our family and best friends. We all had each others backs if anything was out of the ordinary. Saying goodbye to them was difficult, BUT there is a good ending here - they all have some kind of tie to Dallas so they will be there at some point to visit.
Since we had the day set back and the movers finished late, we stayed in a hotel that night in lafayette. I thought the cats would not like it and be hiding and what not. They loved it. There was not one inch of that hotel room not smelled and investigated. In the AM we gave Rico 1/4 pill of kitty xanax to take the edge off for the drive. Mango rode just fine in her carrier open in the floor board of the jetta with only a few comments along the way. She was very relaxed without any kitty sedation. Once we arrived to the apartment here in Farmers Branch (Dallas) I cleaned and Luis carried totes like described above. I tried to set the apartment up as much as I could to help "welcome" the cats. They made themselves at home very quickly.
The weather turned on us as quickly as the cats got comfortable. When we arrived it was a clear and breezy day. After unpacking and getting a shopping list together, the sky changed drastically. Then I seen a tornado warning on the TV. I was quickly reminded that we are back in "midwest" tempered weather that can change in the blink of an eye. So Luis and I had a quick recap about the clouds and what a funnel cloud was and the skys colors and to watch the movement of the trees. The extremely bad weather was north of us luckily but there was confirmed tornadoes!
Today I am going to continue to turn this more into our place then the place we are borrowing. Plus I have nothing to do so I am super bored anyhow!

Last week in Louisiana ..
Today marks the last full week we will be in our home we built and in the state of Louisiana. Its going to be an emotional week that is for sure.
Luis and I started disassembling all of our outdoor potted plants. I had to hold back tears. Everything has been sort of surreal up until this point. My last day at my current job is Friday the 28th. I never thought I would be saying those words - my last day. I know this week is going to fly by and be twice as hectic and full of all kinds of things popping up, but I know I will cry come Friday. I mean, I was holding back tears throwing old flowers away yesterday!
All of our closest neighbors came out to talk with us, and it was so sad! I wish I could just pack them with us! Don't get me wrong, somethings I will never miss about here, but there are several things I will.
This upcoming Saturday, we are going to have our last yard sale here at the house. A lot of people wait to see our address in the paper. ( I think I got the niche from my Mom and Aunt Cheryl) We (Luis and I) have come to the understanding that we are not packing a bunch of needless things to Dallas. We have done that before and its too much work. Whatever doesn't sell in this yard sale or I cannot give it way will be going to Goodwill. I only need to pack the things we are going to be using for the next 30 days and everything else will be taken to storage on April 2nd.
I will be writing my resignation letters for my job at Finley Periodontics and for my treasurer position for Miramar Homeowners Assoc. Both will be bittersweet while each has had its ups and downs, I will miss both - maybe not the job so much but the most of the people involved within both I will miss!
Today I am spending organizing things from the attic that our friend Johneric came and helped get down with Luis - I have NO balance on a ladder! And get the garage ready for the garage sale. I plan to take the cat kids out in their new kennel so that they can get used to being in it and they can enjoy the nice breeze in their furs!

Work, Move, and Progress!
Today the buyer's appraiser came to the house to do their appraisal, meaning we are getting closer and closer. Luis spoke with the moving company and got us scheduled to have them here April 1st to pack boxes, April 2nd to pack said boxes/furniture into truck, and then later the next week delivery. We are waiting to receive the corporate apartments address, so needless to say I feel a lot better. I don't feel so much like I have no idea where we are going to be living in like 3 weeks.
Tonight, I decided to text the OTHER Dr. Finley, since I have had no contact with him besides the time he called my current Dr. Finley's office. I was getting uneasy, just because its unknown .... I just like to be included even if I have no idea of what the process is, at least I know there is something going on behind the scenes. Dr. R. Finley will be in town this weekend for Dr. M. Finley's baby baptism, so I asked him if we could meet up sometime this weekend and just talk. He seemed excited for the opportunity. Finley told me his brothers bday is the 18th, so I might try to make a good impression and remember that, no guarantees considering my own sister's birthday is Saturday and I have yet to send her bday card. We shall see what happens of our meeting.
On Saturday, I have lunch date with Karen, Chelsea, and Hailey at Walk Ons ... I am pretty sure I will be having a bloody mary.
I need a drink after this week at the office. There is so much unnecessary drama!!
Training is going a long, with progression. I have a student from Southwest Dental Academy (which I have personal interest in) Our student is performing at what I would call an advanced level. Pretty impressed with that, there have been others that have performed at that level (in surgical setting) but few and far between. Its nice to see when a student actually listens to what they are being taught and applies it to their life.
I leave you with a picture of my cat children Mango is on the seat in the shower and Rico is at the door. Cat people, like myself, do your cats like to get in the shower? Mine watch you take a shower and then the moment the water is turned off I start getting "yelled at" by the cats to hurry up and get out so they can drink the most delicious water on this planet - shower drain water ....

Maintain your goal weight
In the last three months, since starting the "maintenance" portion of my weight loss journey, I have found that wheat and I ... we don't see eye to eye anymore. Which is truly very sad, because I very much love wheat! I have made the decision that once we get move to Dallas, I will start tying to bake paleo bread. I need bread in my life, even if its faux bread. Being gluten free for a baker is going to be challenging. But I will have plenty of spare time to turn it into something great while looking for a job/waiting for Dr. R Finley to get to Dallas.
Paleo and gluten free lifestyle are essentially to an extent what maintenance of your life should be. Its about healthy food that easily digested. Most adults do have a hard time in one way or another digesting wheat/gluten/dairy. There are a lot of things that I will take from Take Shape for Life and keep forever and other things I will modify, because that is what you do when you maintain something, make it personal to you and your lifestyle.
In Dallas, I will have more accessibility to paleo/TSFL lifestyle foods. Not saying that in Lafayette I do not have ANY, but there is everyone fighting at the same two places for the foods.
In maintaining my weight loss, you find yourself in almost per say daily battles. Take for instance, during Mardi Gras here, I think every single patient brought us a king cake from a different bakery. While I did not taste ALL of them, I did taste a few of them. But then I would almost feel guilty. Then in thinking about why I would feel guilty, it was because I felt like I was going to go into my old habits, or as we at TSFL call a "temporary relapse in thinking" I guess because I had read about it and talked to clients about it, I was super aware of this being a possibility? Really I am in the battle of do you feed your urges or your needs for body support, and you usually pick the first one. All thought for my birthday week, I was a little more okay with "splurging" My birthday was March 6th, and to my surprise people texted, called, emailed, and facebooked me all day and through out this weekend. The two assistants at work bought me starbucks, and my boss bought the office lunch, my sisters and dad had flowers sent to me, Luis took me to dinner at Bonefish and to Indulge to have some cheesecake. All in all a great day!

Moving
Moving! Its stressful, even when you aren't in charge of EVERYTHING .. maybe that is what makes its this stressful for me, because I am not in control.
So it is official ... our house is under contract. We had our home inspection on Wednesday and things went very well. One small exterior fix is needed, and after looking at all the other homes in our subdivision, it seems it was something all builders here skipped. No big deal, we will get some quotes and get things fixed. Which means reality has set in, we will be moving in 3 weeks. We virtually have nothing in place. Partially because I am not in charge of the move, Luis is. So each and every day I have to question how the process is going .... so far we are working on a list of phone calls he needs to make. Keep your fingers crossed!
I will start looking up the proper way to introduce your mature cats to new places. As it seems today, we will be first living in a corporate apartment or possibly a hotel - that is of course pet friendly. We have some pills that we had for Mango in case we had to evacuate for a hurricane at some point. I am not pro drugging your pet, but at the same time I do not want them stressed out. Rico will for sure have to have some drugs because he does not travel well at all.
At work, I am in full training mode. My boss has asked me to take myself out of the day to day activities to see how the girls will do alone. It is extremely hard to just not do anything to help, its just not who I am. I spend the day dropping in on surgeries to give a helpful hints on the procedures from an assistants view point. We have even stayed late after work and practiced certain things on each other so it would take the scary out of the equation. Things are going rather well so far. Some of my coworkers do not like change at all and are making things harder than they really need to be at any point in this transition. My boss was doing so well with this, keeping positive and open. He has been teaching and has really been really awesome with this whole process until Friday. Literally he came to me to try to figure out a way for me to still work there and live in Dallas. I really thought he was going to cry and had despair in his voice, which breaks my heart. I love working there, but there is just no way that I can continue to work there full time and live in Dallas. I hope this passes and his more positive self shows on Tuesday.
I have been live tweeting during the #LongIslandMedium premier to maybe even get a private reading with her .. it would be awesome!
