Hello Friends,

   Long time, no post. Just a few things today:

1. I have now lost 10% of my body weight plus an additional 5 pounds.

2. I am going for a tumor marker test tomorrow. I've been having some issues with my belly so I'm a little more anxious about this check up than normal. Bleeding belly button and a pulling sensation behind my belly button have me concerned. I went to my local PCP and she feels I have an infection and gave me some meds. The bleeding has stopped, the pulling has not.

3. After my test, my mom and I will be headed downstate to bury my Nana. She was cremated in November and we have been waiting for a significant date to bury her.

My house is looking better daily. :)
I have done a really great job of sticking to the No Spend Challenge with the exception of a trip to the Salvation Army on Monday where I purchase a handmade flannel lap quilt (for Jeremiah's bed) and a hand knit afghan that matches our couch perfectly...the stitching is beautiful and it has long fringes on the ends which I love......both for $8.00. Hooray for Sally's!!!
