One week down

Hello all!  I'm not exactly sure who will read this but I figured it was the easiest way for the most ppl to stay up to date with me :)  I arrived here just over a week ago to take a drug test (Last Friday) in hopes that I would start working Monday.  Well it took longer than expected and I start tomorrow.  This "week off" has taught me at least one thing: when I retire I'll need a job...ha! (Sorry dad I don't know how you do it!)  So where to begin?  The plan all along was for Jeremy and I to do a detox diet when I got here, leading into a candida diet to get rid of this HORRIBLE disease (?)  So we began that on Thursday.  As part of the diet we can't have any animal bi-products (cheese, milk, eggs, etc.)  So we have had a few adventures making things we can eat.  I made a cake today (gluten free, 98% vegan, sugar free)  I used banana as my egg substitute.  This made it taste like banana bread but that's ok because we like banana bread :)  Jeremy is very excited that he has lost 5 lbs already!

As for my kitties.  They are doing well.  They fight less which is good.  I read that neutral territory might cause them to fight less. I think it's worked.  Stinker has shown a renewed love for the bath tub.  He loved to get in the tub after shows a lot when he was a kitten.  He stopped caring so much about  a year ago.  Ever since we've been here he's been really interested in the tub and the sink in the bathroom.  We figured it out tonight.  We have known all along that Stinker likes bleach. This is terrible I know.  We have to keep anything sprayed with bleach, and the bleach itself, away from him or he goes nuts for it.  Well our water is...bleachy smelling.  So Jeremy and I filter our water.  But we do not filter our shower water or our bathroom water.  I realized tonight that Stinker likes the water here so much because it smells like bleach! Gross...

That's all for now.  We are really liking our new home down town.  We spend a lot of time at the Bistro Market not far away from us, along with Mama Jeans.  Those are two places we can get the food we need.  They've been very nice to have so close.  I will keep you all posted about my new job this coming week.  Talk to you all soon!  Love!
