Today was the day we take Jane to another vet to get a second look. I was pretty nervous all day for Jane, i knew how she would react to going to another vet and I did not really want her to be drugged just so she could be looked at.
While I was getting her ready I have her some treats hoping that would calm her down at the vets. On the ride to the vet's it helped and while we were waiting she didn't make a noise. Once we were in the exam room and I went to pet her she hissed at me. When the assistant came in to talk to me Jane was acting up.
The assistant looked over the paperwork I had from the other vet and then took Jane to see the doctor. A couple minutes later Jane and the doctor were back in the exam room. I liked how this doctor just took the top off the crate Jane was in rather than trying to pull her out of the crate. He said sometimes it helps the cat calm down because she is use to the crate. Jane's attitude did not change but the doctor was able to get an okay look in her eyes and would like us to look at her eyes at home and take notes what we see.
The doctor said Jane has herpes and Uveitis. He said he has seen cases like this before in other cats and the medicine has cleared it up. So we left with 2 types of medicine - 1 pill and 1 gel that we have to give her twice a day. When we got home we tried the gel medicine which was a little hard.
I will keep you all updated with Jane's progress.

Mary Kay table for Teacher's Day
Today was Teacher's Day at local Staples and Office Depots. I was able to talk to the manger at Staples and set up a table outside with Mary Kay products.
All week I have been perparing and I was excited to for this event.
When I got to Staples, it looked like the people were waiting for a concert. When I arrived I called the manger so I could introduce myself and give him my business card. He did mention other people were inside selling other things.
As Thiago and I were setting up the table. I made an annocement about my table, which I am glad I did because little did I know there was a Sales Director from Mary Kay inside.
I was able to talk to people as they were entering and as well as they were exiting Staples. People did mention that someone was inside and that they had a different basket to raffle, but I didn't care. That made me want to get more business :)
In the end I had 18 Skin Care Survey's filled out and handed out a bunch of free samples. After the people filled out the Skin Care Survey they were able to take a free sample; Satin Hands, Color Card (eye shadow, blush and lip stick) or lip gloss (3 different colors).
I did not get any orders placed while I was at Staples but I did give the handouts out to everyone who walked by. The hand outs explained that if they place an order up until midnight they will recieve tax free and 10% off.
When I got home I was exhausted, I had a yummy frozen Margarita and took a nap. Then I picked a name out of the surveys and contacted the Winner. When I brought Nancy her basket she was so happy. She told me she was going to contact me to order some more blush and I reminded her about the 10% off she can recieve up until midnight.

Humming bird feeder
As a house warming gift we got a hummingbird feeder. We decided to put a hanging plant outside instead of the feeder. With all of the heat and me not being home to water the plant, the plant has seem much better days.
After the gym I was walking around the complex and saw some hummingbirds at other people's feeders. The light bulb in my head went off so when I got home I set up the feeder outside.
I hope we get visitors :)

Home again
After a long week in Seebring Florida for a wireless survey I am home. The week was very long and a lot of walking, I would say within the week I walked around 25 miles or so.
Nights after work were every uneventful until Thursday night. Thursday we worked a half day and then drove about 2 hours to Orlando to meet up with Lana and have a meeting as another customer site. The customer is looking for what was started of a wireless survey. The details in the meeting sounded very complex so who knows what is going to happen.
After the meeting, I drove with Lana while Russ did his own thing since we have 2 hours to kill. I got to drive Lana's rental car, a red mustang. We go to the area where the Restraunt was and found a spa and got a mani and pedi which was very nice and relaxing. After all that crazy-ness - the credit card machine being down and I tried to get cash from the ATM using my credit card which sent Thiago an alert and he thought I was kidnapped (the way Brasillian's think) it was time to get some drinks.
We had dinner at Ocean Prime. We met 2 guys from Adventist in Florida and talked a little business but mostly just had a enjoyable evening.
After socializing at the bar it was time for our dinner reservations. I had blue cheese wedge and shrimp and pasta (very yummy). Dessert we all shared cheese cake (which I thought tasted like a cardboard box) and key lime pie. After some more drinks it was back to the bar. Lana and I were back at the hotel by midnight.
Friday Russ and I finished the documentation of the wireless survery so Russ was happy he could fly home earlier than planned. Lana and I headed to the airport around 3. I drove again and met a very nice cop who let me off with a warning. Ya mustangs, nevermind red ones are cop magnets :)
After all was said and done we go to the airport with time to kill. Going through security I got recomendly selected to have my hands checked for explosives... (do I look like I am from the middle east). Lana and I had time to still kill so we stopped at Ruby Tuesday's and each had a drink and some food. Then it was off to catch our flight.
Lana was flying back home to GA via CLT. Who know we would be sitting next to each other in a exit row with on now in the middle. It was nice having an empty seat and also a plus knowing the other person. Getting home was no problem. As I was pulling into my parking spot and walking in the door, Lana was getting on her flight home.
All in all it was a great week (as always) with a little fun mixed in :) Glad to be home until Sept (I think, it's always a surpise when it's time for me to book my ticket).
