Good news! I survived the trip to the vet this morning AND Cody got a clean bill of health. The vet said that the spots on his eyes haven’t gotten any bigger at all, and she also said that he probably can’t even tell they’re there. Now let’s just hope that they stay that way for a while now, since we wouldn’t want anything to go wrong with this face.
The car ride itself was actually a teeeeeny bit better than the last time. He was still as vocal as ever, but having Jay there definitely helped keep me a bit more calm (he finds it more humorous, which is kind of is…I think he’s having a kitty heart attack the whole time). I took a little video of our car ride, so you guys can have a peek at him in action…
The sound is a little low, so you may need to turn it up.
The meowwwwww. So sad, right? Ugh. It’s the worst. He also got another vaccination while we were there, so thankfully, we don’t have any other vet trips for quite a while now. He’s happy, I’m happy, we’re all happy about that one.

Cyber Monday
Once we got home from the vet, I spent some time working on a couple training plans, and also managed to get a little Christmas shopping done online. Actually, I got a lot more done than I expected, which has me super psyched. Typically, I’ll find something, then question it until I talk myself out of it, but not today! Boom, done.
Anyone else find any good deals today??
Lunch
There was really no question on what would be for lunch today.
More leftover turkey and veggie soup…
And another slice (chunk?) of sun-dried tomato and mozz quick bread.
Just as good, if not better, than last night. Mmmm mmmmm.
*****
*Quick heads up:
I’m having a special Cyber Monday (week) deal with my online training packages this week…
**Buy any training package and receive a 4-week strength package FREE (a $30.00 value!).** You can use the strength package as an add-on to your own, or use it as a gift!
Catch you guys later!

Aww poor Cody! My cats do the same thing, only it’s MUCH louder. Seriously, they summon up all their lung poor and meow like we’re murdering them. That and both of them start licking their lips like crazy. It’s funny and pathetic all at once

I made your soup last night too! Except I used Italian chicken sausage instead, and it was super yummy!

I hate to see what you are going to be like when you have kids! ha!
Hahaha, I know right?!
Aww!! Poor kitty! My cats sound just like that when we have to take the, to the vet. One of my kitties gets so scared that she trembles. I can’t stand it!:(

I feel your pain, I had to carry my parents’ cat out of the house during a (thankfully false) fire alarm while house sitting last month. The howling kills me, I feel like such a meanie for trying to keep them safe!

Awe, poor little Cody ha. My cat is like that too. And gets super sweaty palms and leaves little sweaty marks all over the car, it’s adorable, but I also feel bad. Oh man, today is dangerous for me! I have no self control with online deals!
Lisa recently posted..Weekend Festivities
I’m hoping to get some holiday shopping done online this afternoon. I’ve got a few ideas so I just need to find the perfect thing and buy it. Honestly, I think once I get everything, I’ll feel better knowing that no more money needs to be spent.

I’ve been looking for a good deal on a 31-inch rumble roller. Amazon has one for $70, but that’s the best price I’ve seen anywhere. I was hoping *someone* would have them on sale for Cyber Monday, but I’m not having any luck. Courtney, did you happen to stumble across any?
I didn’t…sorry!
Glad to hear that Cody is doing well! And he seriously sounds like the saddest little thing in the car. Awwr. But it’s all for the best
I haven’t actually started doing any Christmas shopping yet, but I definitely should. I always end up waiting until 2 weeks into December and stressing myself out trying to get everything done in time, but I also kind of love the excitement that comes with that last minute rush 
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted... a marvelously strange monday .
Aw! Poor Codster!
You should hear what Popcorn does when he hears Will and I pick up the keys to leave without him! Almost like a puppy heart attack, but definitely with a diva “where do you think you’re going without me” flair haha
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance recently posted..A Tinier Turkey Day
Glad to hear Cody (and you!) are doing well! It hurts me so much to bring my pup to the vet. She clings on to me and cries when they take her to give her the vaccinations. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like one day with children!

I was at work all day and haven’t had a chance to seek out any Cyber Monday shopping yet…I’m diving in tonight and really hoping I find some good deals for Christmas gifts!

Yellow Haired Girl recently posted..Today
awww lol that’s so sad! i hate how cats meow in car rides, makes me always want to let mine out, but now i especially won’t, my friend said she let hers out and it started frothing at the mouth, scared the crap out of her and she’ll never do it again! oh how they make us feel guilty lol
Chelsea @ LittleOneRuns recently posted..I’m Back!!!
Hey, Courtney! I’m not sure if I’m missing it, but is there a 4 week cardio only package? Talking to m fiancé about my Christmas gifts haha the cardio with the strength deal would be perfect!
I was wondering the same thing… thanks!
Hey Kattreena! Yes! You’ll see an option for 4 (or 8) week cardio of strength ONLY. Once you purchase, you would fill out your forms saying which you’d prefer
Perfect! How long is your cyber sale lasting? Until the end of this week?
Yup! Until Friday
I’m glad Cody is doing well!
I have yet to find any great Cyber Monday deals…must just not be my year. I do plan on using a free shipping code on the under armour website…better than nothing I suppose!

Kristen @ notsodomesticated recently posted..21 Weeks: The Big Gender Reveal
OMG my cat does the SAME thing! My husband and I recently moved and I honestly thought our cat was dying during the 3 hour car ride. It was sad to hear his ‘cries’ & a little scary, so I can totally relate. I also thought that he was going to lose all of his teeth trying to ‘bite’ his way out of the cage; he also pressed his face up to the cage door, like Cody does. The best part about playing this video was my cat came running over to the computer to find out where the meows were coming from…ha!
Haha that is both tragically sad and hilarious at the same time! I just took my little kitten to the vet for her first shots, and I nearly burst into tears when I heard her screams
Our next appointment is this week, hopefully it will go better! She’s going to be getting a lot of cuddles…
Awww! Poor Cody! I’m glad that his vet appointment went well.

aw poor kitty!
I got a couple things online but honestly the deals I found weren’t as good as I was expecting. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places!
Heather recently posted..runDisney’s Wine and Dine Half Expo
Oh poor little Cody!! My cats sound the exact same way whenever we go for a car ride! It is sooo sad and it just breaks my heart. I just want to hold them and cuddle them for the whole car ride! So happy that Cody got a clean bill of health and he is going to be ok. Such a cutie pie!!!
Aw, poor Cody! My cat absolutely HATES the car as well, which is unfortunate because I’ve done quite a bit of moving/apartment hopping since I’ve had him! I had to drive him from New York to Virginia and then from Virginia to Massachusetts. He did. not. stop. crying. the entire time.
Meghan @ After the Ivy League recently posted..Thanksgiving Weekend, I Miss You Already
Poor little pumpkin!! Glad he’s doing okay though!
Aw Courtney.. from one kitty owner to another, I understand the stress that comes along with a trip to the vet
Can’t you put Cody in a larger, less claustrophobic crate? I feel like he panics because he is shoved in such a small space…kind of unnecessary to have one that small? Maybe I just don’t know enough about cats, though?
Lauren @The Homeostatic Mindset recently posted..Tuesday Inspiration
Awww. At least he doesn’t attack the vet, does he? My cat used do that. He hated the vet and the vet hated him right back!
Joanna @ Running Places recently posted..Week 9: #WIAW Detox-style
Oh my gosh, my cats make the most awful sounds, too! The one gets mad and just stares and yells at me and the other makes the most PATHETIC meows you ever heard. That is…before she gets sick from both ends. Good times, going to the vet.
Amanda B. recently posted..Things Making Me Happy This Week 11.26
Glad Cody got the all clear, and yay for no more vet visits for a while
Bek @ Crave recently posted..Body Acceptance
Oh yeah, my cats have always done that. I had a cat once, that no matter the volume of the radio he was louder. Mine now just screeches and I think my ear drums are going to explode. You are lucky that he only “meows”!!!
Jessamy @ The Rambling Asian recently posted..Thanksgiving 2012 & Black Friday
My cat sounds the same way when she’s in the car. I always try to talk to her or put my hand in her cage to make her feel better. It never works, and she will cry just as loudly. I swear they are trying to make us feel like they are dying!

Awh~! Poor Cody! HAHAHAHA. Oh man. I need to take a video of my little George when we drive…he hates it as well.
