update
So on September 24th I had a major house fire. I wrote earlier about the challenges of staying in a hotel and still eating right. Well I made it through that part and am staying in a nice apartment. It will be at least nine months before the house is put back together. Lots of friends, coworkers a nd my church have helped in the meantime, even had a friend start a fund raiser on cofounder or something like t hat. It has been such a blessing even with good insurance that takes time and leaving in only pjs and socks left a big g a p in wardrobe! Now I am in my temporary rental apartment I can cook real food and keep track of what I am eating. Two of my first purchases was a food a1c a leading a nd set of measuring cups. Thanks to my OH responders for their good wishes.
