Poor Clara Belle

About three weeks ago I noticed a little red bump on Clara Belle's stomach. Jake checked it out and we thought possibly bug bite, ingrown hair, allergy etc.. Well it never went away and in fact got bigger, so I called the Vet this week and made an appointment. We went in this morning and after testing it, they discovered it is a tumor but not a spreadable one... good news. So the poor girl is going under today to get it removed. Luckily she doesn't have to wear a cone for the next week or two, but she does get to wear one of Jake's old t-shirts so the stitches won't get infected. Luckily we just got a nice tax return!! The doctor said she will be just fine, but will be sending the removed tumor in for a biopsy to make sure that is what it is. Poor Clara Belle!

Guess What

I HAVE A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it is true. Yesterday I was doing my morning ritual searching Craigslist and everything else and on Craigslist I spotted a position with an after-school program, STAR Education, for a homework teacher. They were having a hiring-fair that day so I whipped up a cover letter, printed out my resume, threw on some interview clothes and headed off. They interviewed me right then and there. I thought it went well but I never can tell. Today after running some errands I came home to a message and called them right back and they offered me the job. Wooo-hooo! I start the hiring process tomorrow. It is just a part-time job, 1:30-6 Monday-Friday, $12/hour, but I think it is going to be a great fit for me. After I find out more of what the position entails I will let you know. Finally!!!
