Dear Molly et al --
I am definitely feeling better today! After sobbing to 3 different friends, plus my husband, over the past 36 hours, I feel cleared and calmer -- much calmer.
I really have been feeling the connection between the death of my dear doggy, and the end of a way of life with just our 2 younger kids and Henry around...(my much older stepdaughters are both married with kids).
I have loved this part of my life so very much. Ah well...off we go into the future. I only pray that we will have some PEACE in this troubled world, soon. Also, as a dear cousin and my husband pointed out, I can VISIT my son Alex (called Addie) quite easily -- he will only be about one hour away by car...That cheered me up!
As for food -- I have really NOT been eating much, but that scale is STUCK.
I also didn't do much exercise this week, until today, when I play 1-1/2 hours of serious singles tennis....I ate half of a power bar (no impact carbs) this AM with a cup of coffee; had a turkey dog (plain with a little mustard) for lunch with 10 cherries; and ate grilled chicken with green beans and a big tossed salad for dinner. I had 2 crackers (probably NOT whole grain) as well -- not too bad. Finished with a serving of fresh raspberries. I drank the before and after meal fluids; (never a problem -- I am always thirsty...) Total: 3 veggies, 2 fruits, thanks to you, Molly!!
Will be away for a few days at our summer house (NO ELECTRICITY/NO PHONE LINE) in nearby Branford, CT -- lovely 1904 cottage...on the water, on an island with 5 other houses...paradise. Take care -- and thanks again for the helpful support.
Ruth
