Great improvement Rose. Be careful with coffee though as you have some stomach problems . Coffee is acidic and often causes heartburn. So be careful with that. Honestly if you manage without caffeine, then maybe it’s a bad idea tk start so maybe decaf would be better?

Brother with frequent trips to jail and a zoo at home. Oh boy. How sad. I did chuckle because of how you described what him being “away” meant. Not funny of course. You have a writing talent by the way..
