The gas prices are to blame for budget cuts. I expected a lay-off this summer and had planned. But, we lost our jobs Monday. I just sighed. There are things to apply for and maybe unemployment. Hope to have a little time off. I had worked OT and planned. Plus need to move and this will help. We are waiting a few more weeks to look at the mass on my partner's chest again. It is near the heart and in a wierd spot to poke around with. At least it gives her some freedom from sugery so she can enjoy some of her activities. I am hauling a "lot" of items to auction and flea market this weekend. The weather is going to be nice after a few days of rain. And mother's day coming...so hoping to share items with collectors and make a few fair pennies for the gas tank. I have not mentioned my health and have to remark that changing my eating habits are the key to my success. I am losing weight and keeping my IBS, blood sugar, and BP is check. I am so lucky. One year ago, I could not leave the house from all the illness.Thank you to so many who encouraged me during this time. I also appreciate the various input from others. It is also important to say that managing stress through this site really worked. Now, about that exercise. I admit, it is very lame. This is my big challenge. I know it will change for me as the other old habits have. I just do not seem to commit to when. Perhaps having more time and feeling enegy (since I will not be working) can help me focus this goal. It is important and I am trying a few days a week (walking). Please stay in touch DS pals. Cheers

Good luck with all that you (and your partner) are going through.
Just a little word about exercise. Little. That\'s the word.
: ) Don\'t think of it as a big chore. Do a little at a time. It\'s better than doing nothing. Then as you start, each time do a little more. Don\'t think you have to do a 1/2 hr a day or whatever and then give up because you didn\'t get to it that day. Think of each time you move as helping rather than being discouraged by not having done enough.
