My heart

I received a call back from my physician's office last week, and spoke to a nurse that looked over my file. They have all the information I need to appeal to BCBS. It turns out I don't have palpitations (which is actually just an "awareness" of the heart beating, whether it's a normal or abnormal heartbeat)--I have premature ventricular contractions, which is just a form of irregular heartbeat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_ventricular_contraction Go there and listen to the 2-minute clip. It's rather creepy, but it sounds exactly like how it feels, if that makes sense. Regardless, it isn't a big deal. But at least now I know what's up with my heart. ;)

I've been riding the trainer a bit more. It was nice out on Sunday (though a bit windy--wind gusts up to 40!), but I didn't feel like venturing out, so I stayed in. Eric and I are going out for a nice Valentine's Day dinner on Friday... I can't wait!!! I'm also meeting his parents Saturday, hehe. It's going to be a busy weekend. :)

Because I'm going out of town, I had to find somewhere to board Jaiden. I thought about a pet sitter, but I didn't want him at home for so long without a place to relieve himself. I found a place (one of the customers that came into the tack shop owns it) that's a cross between a boarding facility and a doggy daycare place. So he'll get to run around with dogs all day and hopefully have a lot of fun. I had to drop him off today for an "evaluation" to make sure he's not aggressive, etc., and it was sad. :( I'm such a sap. I'm leaving to pick him up in 20 minutes, and I'm antsy.
