Last week and the weekend were full of sorrow and stress.  My husband's sister passed last Monday (5/21/07) at the age of 49, due to long term ill health.  We were at work when the call came in and immediately left to go pick up his mom so she wasn't left alone.  That was an all day drive and very stressful.  She stayed with us until Thursday, when we drove back to San Bernardino to spend the night and then drove more on Friday to get to the service in Los Angeles .

The service was very well done.  Her kids (30 and 22) did a very nice job of putting everything together.  We spent the day with family and then left at around 7pm for the long drive home.

Saturday was supposed to be a lazy quiet day but ended up being nerve racking because my husband lost his wallet while running errands.  We searched everywhere- tearing the house and garage apart and retracing his steps.  It was no where to be found.  He received a call this morning from a gentleman who said he found it near a dumpster several miles away from where we think he lost it.  The cash was gone but his identification and personal items were still there.  His Military ID, SS card, and Drivers License were in it as well as 2 credit cards which we had already canceled.

We finally got a quiet day on Sunday and Monday but the lost wallet and our family's loss were always there in the back of our minds.

I weighed and measured on Monday and have lost a total of 15 inches (only 1 arm, leg, and calf) and another 5lbs.  I'm almost to 50lbs lost.  I can't believe it!

Food is still giving me some issues.  I even dumped on a protein bar last week!  Hopefully this week will be better.
