As for fixing the truck Steve estimates at least 1500.00 him doing all the work which will require he pull entire engine out ! What a nightmare it’s become.

I’ve been having to bath my dog Sirius every 2-3 days he’s been scratching himself like crazy. It’s not fleas but it looks like mange! If it is NO IDEA how he has it. It’s a strong medicated shampoo that has to be lathered up and left on for 20 mins then rinsed. This is a huge chore he’s 70-75 lbs and long hair. I just want him to feel better.

My stress is just unchartedable ! I woke to my teeth and jaw incredibly sore from clenching and grinding my teeth which is not common for me.

I just want to pay the taxes somehow be able to start working on the truck. Things have just been frantic like since Cindy had that devastating aneurysm mid January and Steve being gone over 6 weeks.

I will say our weather has been amazing ! I’m back on the porch a lot of the day and windows open to air out my home. It just so yuck when all shut up for winter. We certainly aren’t over with winter yet. But getting such a nice break is amazing !

My Fitbit continues to be one of my best investments. I tracking glucose and food intake it’s very simple I just scan barcodes or do a simple search to find what we are eating and it saves all info. I’m working hard to keep my calories daily at 850-900 a day. Between that and my pushing myself to get out and moving daily but ….. my diabetic medication side effect can be weight gain and then psych meds ! I should certainly be losing but at least I’m not gaining. Ugh tho.

Wow I have sure rambled eeek ! Anyone that’s hung in I thank you

Hugs and sugar free chocolate chip cookies to everyone ~

Thank you for your support, Christina. It always means a lot to me

I feel for you on the taxes, and on not having any emergency money. We're in the same situation. It's so freaking stressful and scary.

I feel so bad that your stress has caused you to grind your teeth at night. When that happens, you know things are over the top.

The lovely weather is sure a nice break, though. Refreshing temperatures and nice breezes can bring a whole new mind-set.

Thanks for the cookies
