Life With Updates & Gas Prices

So I was out getting my car washed today and when I pulled into the gas station I just had to take a photo of the gas prices! Thank goodness the prices are now below $3!! So exciting! This gas station is on one corner with an Arco across the street that is still over $3 and Sam's across the other street at $2.87!! YIPPPIEEEE!!!!! No more $70 fill ups!

I have been super sick the last few days. I dragged myself into work on Saturday in hopes to make it to Jayme's going away party that night but I couldn't do it. I went home and went right to bed that night. Got up to take some more medicine and then went back to bed. Sunday & Monday are my normal days off so I didn't miss work. I slept most of the day and had a fever on Sunday. I stayed home again on Tuesday because it was still hard to breathe and my sinuses hurt so bad! I'm back to work today and doing better but still stuffed up.

My dad went back to the doctor last Friday and he checked out ok. He also went to the nuerologist (sp?) on Monday and he gave him the ok to drive! That makes it much easier on my parents that he won't need to get a ride or take the bus. I'm just glad he is ok. I also pray that he learns he needs to eat!

My grandma had a stroke in her sleep about a week ago. She came over here to get some tests done and stayed the night at my parent's on Friday night. She has been kinda spacey after the fact but my mom said she seemed to be doing better yesterday. My mom is driving over there on Thursday to spend the night with her since my aunt that lives over there is out of town. Kinda scary that my Grandma isn't doing well.

I'm looking forward to our weekend trip to Long Beach with Jason & Marlis coming up in Mid-November! I'm hoping that we can go horse back riding on the beach! :)

I started last week controlling my portions and not drinking soda or coffee anymore and I have aldready lost 4 pounds! Little steps lead to big steps! I'm still doing water aerobics on Monday & Wednesday and even planning on joining Curves when they have the Food Drive event. :) It may be a slow process but one that I think I am ready for!
