Today: the good the bad and the ugly

The good-I had my nine months checkup. I was so worried that I wouldn't be on track. I haven't weighed since valentines and then, I was way disappointed that I had not lost much in a month. So-as of today-I have lost more weight than I now weigh. That is incredible. I feel like a weight has been lifted.(ha ha) Just 16 more pounds to goal. Who knows I may join you people who are under goal before this is over. I was so giddy, the doctor may have thought I was high. I was! on happy! New stats 319/277/166/150 peak/surgery/current/goal I went to cracker barrel cause I didn't want to cook I was bouncing off walls. I had a grilled chicken kids meal with corn as a side. Rather good, not too greasy. Only 4.29. I'm still a cheap date. The Bad- My sweetie 15 yr old daugther has been on homebound most of the year due to seizures. She's doing better lately. However, The counselor told us her major gateway test was on May 8th, so me being the anal control freak, had it all planned out what we'd review everyday and still get other courses done. Today the homebound teacher called to schedule the testing on the 4th. I know it seems like just four days but...she's off her ADD meds and her anxiety meds(which I'm glad of in a way, she was on a ton of meds) but it is making course work super hard. (pray for my patience and her concentration)-of course-knee jerk reaction-where's desert (no, I'm not going there) The ugly- we get home from super and start to study- I get a call that my favorite great Aunt just passed away from a major heartattack. I saw her just a few days after my surgery, for my grandma's funeral and she was saying she couldn't get approved for the surgery. She's always been overweight. I feel so sad right now. Her kids came to check on her because she still wasn't answering her phone this afternoon. They expected her to be gone today to the next town to get her doggie groomed. She was setting in the car, the door not shut. She was gone. I'm so sad. She was one of those rare people who made the world shine. She was generous, loving, oh I could go on and on. So my day went from good to bad to ugly each with a phone call. Maybe I'll stop answering the phone. Beth B. in Chattanooga
