Day 3 in Texas

Day 3 has a lot going on. Last night Mom received a phone call from her brother. His 19 year old granddaughter had married a Marine in Dec and moved to California. Yesterday her husband killed her and today he confessed to it. Today my sister calls and tells me that my aunt is in the hospital in stage 4 renal failure. At stage 5 she will need dialysis and she is refusing it. She said she is ready to go "home". This is my mother's oldest sister. So today is not a good day for happiness and fun.

My breakfast this morning was Honey Bunches of Oats with 2% milk and a banana. Then Vinnie and I went to the store so I could get the things I needed to make my healthy cereal. I also went to the health food store to get the flax seed and between the 2 places I replenished my iron, multi vitamins, multi-minerals, and vitamin K. I ran out of all of these things several weeks ago and really needed to get back on them. I am hoping it will help me get my energy back.

We also bought some 100% Whole Wheat bread for our lunches here. I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich and a tangerine for lunch. I am drinking my green tea here like I make at home. Tonight will not be too healthy. We are having country ham, eggs, grits, biscuits, and gravy for dinner and I am not even going to pretend that I won't eat too much. At least the rest of the day was good so far.
