Monday ended up being a laundry and cleaning day. I didn't get to the furniture store as planned. We really dont want to buy furniture right now anyway. We're planning on selling our house soon and building again. There are a couple of features we really want, and our next home will be a one story. Our taxes are too high where we are, so also want to build outside of the city. We plan to find a place to rent, if possible for a while, or may start building and then sell. With all the eagle Ford Shale activity combined with industrial expansion, rentals are expensive and difficult to find. We plan to add another bedroom before selling, so our house will be 4 bedrooms with 3.5 baths, but y'all probably don't want to hear all the details on that. We should be able to sell easily with the demand for houses so high.

Rex and I went to a diabetes education class today. It was very informative. He's really committed to doing what he needs to do to get and stay healthy. If I'd known all the symptoms of diabetes, I could have told him about 6 months ago that he needed to get to the doctor, but live and learn.

I got the results of my fasting blood test today and my total cholesterol was 211 and LDL was 166. My cardiac risk factor is 6.2 and they said should never be more than 5.0. They are giving me 6 weeks to try to get it down with diet and exercise. If I fail they want me on medication. I do not want to take statin drugs. So I have to get busy. I may go vegetarian and see if that helps. I'm already eating pretty healthy and taking krill oil. So plan to exercise like crazy and cut out meats completely for a while. I will still eat some fish. Sorry this is all about me. Next time I'll try to comment more on all your activity.

Betsi, I do hope your husband uses the c-pap. I believe it's very important and will help. Rex should use one but says he just can't tolerate it.
