Hi Girls... How are things going? I am so sorry I have not had much time to post lately. I have been through hell the last couple of days.
My brother just died 3 months ago, and my 1st cousin, Jerry started coming to keep my mother company after my brother died. (My brother lived with my mother) so Jerry felt sorry for her being alone, and he started spending time with her and watching movies with her and such. He lived alone so it was good for both of them. Well, my mother kept my son Colton while we where in Vegas, and she did not see Jerry the whole time we where gone, but she thought it was because she had my son, and Jerry gets nervous around kids. So she didn't think anything of it. My mom does not drive, but she had been trying to call him. After church yesterday, she got someone to take her by Jerry's house. It was terrible, he was dead and had been for 4 or 5 days. My mother practically raised him, so it was just like losing another son to her. I have been with her, since yesterday. I feel so sorry for her. It had to be awful finding him that way, they said he was in the last stages of decomposing, and recommended creamation, so I know that had to be a sight she will never forget.
I dont mean to be gross, I just wish my mother would not have had to see that.
It has been really hard on her, she has not even had time to get over her greif for my brother. And she has bipolar disorder, so she goes into such a deep depression, that it scares me.
I feel really bad about it. I was not that close to Jerry, but I wish this had not have happened to him. They think he had a massive heart attack. He was sent for autopsy. He was found beside his bed face down, so they think he must have thrashed around. I dont know, it is just awful.
On a happier note now, I am so glad to see that you are all doing so good, and I am glad to see Jane get to go have some fun.
Karin, my house needs to be cleaned also, I just have not been in no cleaning mood lately. I did get my yard mowed. I am going to have to get busy, or somebody will show up to visit, and I will be embarrassed to death. I had to clean my cabinets earlier, they where full of fire ants, they wanted my pancake mix and brown sugar and all that good stuff. I am not going to eat it, but my husband might not survive without his pancakes.
Renee, it sounds like you are just exercising your little hinney off. You are doing splendid. I am so proud of you. I missed my walk for last couple of days because of all that has been going on. I need to get me some weights, or go to my nieces house and use hers. My walk is good, but need some other means of exercise. I will try to do that.
Well, ya'll pray for my mother, I know she will need it, in the days to come. She has been through more than enough heartache.
I have to go to Austin Wednesday, and will probably do some housekeeping tomorrow, but I will try to post in between. I havent forgotten my buddies, just been really busy....
Take care and stick to your guns, and like Teridoodle says " Be a Loser!!! "
Bye girls, have a great day. Big Hugs for All!
P.S. I use the keto sticks and pay $12 for 50 strips, but only use one every few days, so they last awhile. They help me, when I got back from Vegas, they said no trace, so I went back to strict induction, and am now back in the purple.
I will say this though, if you try them dont get discouraged if you are not in the deepest purple color, because most of the time if you are drinking enough water, it will only be light purple, which is good. All it means if it is dark color, is that you need to drink more water.
Also use them early in the morning, every time you test... For more accurate results.
