Hey where is everyone?

I got home late last night and today was just getting tons of stuff done.

I am so ready to eat right. I just can't take a lot of fatty foods anymore and I think I only ate junk last week.

The Sahara casino is closing in a couple more weeks. I took the challenge to eat a 6lb burrito. Although I only did it to get the tshirt when you didn't finish it. Channel 13 in LV was doing a story on the closing and took my picture for their face book page. When I get the address I will let you know so you can see it.

Good morning, Y'All.

I apologize for being AWOL last week. We went to Atlanta for a few days to attend a memorial for dil and were called back suddenly because my fil took a turn for the worse. He died early this morning, so I will be absent for a few more days.

Joan, I am anxious to get started, too.

Please stay well, everyone.

Magnolia, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I think I told you that we had started PT on my mother for her swollen legs. The first week he said she had lost 2 liters from her legs. I bet it is closer to 6 liters now. She has gained an inch on both thighs though. It won't help if we are pushing the lymph fluid (protein) higher rather than getting rid of it.

I didn't get the yard mowed but I did spend much of the day cleaning inside. I also got a whole mile walk in.

I had to babysit Thursday because Luke had an ear infection. I did get a 2 mile walk in at least.

Dh got home late Wednesday and I waited up for him, so I was exhausted when dil called early Thursday.

Hi.

Waiting to go to funeral home. It is not around the block, and it seems that we are always rushing these few days. Have not had a decent night's sleep since Monday. I was so tired Wednesday afternoon that I fell asleep sitting up!

Take care & I hope to be back soon.

Magnolia I hope you get some rest soon.

I was wrong about dm thigh being 1 inch bigger. It is only 1cm bigger or about .4inch,

I ended up walking 3.3 miles yesterday. Now if I could only add in the weights.

Son called to ask if lobster and asparagus is good for Mother's day. I said ok because I don't want to eat much. Dil loves lobster but I don't. I can eat it though.
