Today I changed the water filter in the fridge. Mom and I had bought 3 last August. The one I took out had her handwriting on it. It is going to be hard to throw it away once it drains. I still have lots of stuff of hers and will continue to do so. Not sure why this water filter is making me so emotional. Most of the time I'm fine. When things get me emotional though, I'm still a wreck. It has been about 3 and a half months. Not sure why it has been so hard on me. Either the stroke has made me more emotional OR having spent almost 15 years with just the two of us here in the house has me missing her more than I would otherwise. Also, living alone and in the same house might lengthen the grieving process. I won't ever forget her, but I'm ready to not get tore up whenever I think about her.

I have a stress test Wednesday morning. The only things I'm allowed before the test is my Daily Thyroid pill and water. My 10am meds will be with me so I can take them after the stress test. Also plan to do some shopping since I will be in town for the test. Don't really need much from the grocery store. When you shop for one, it is mostly to get bread once the loaf gets low(which it is). The milk is good until March 2. Also, have plenty of canned and frozen items along with tea and my soft drinks. There will be a new Kroger sales paper Wednesday but I doubt I will bother going there as I really only need bread and bagels. 

Each morning an hour after my thyroid pill, I have either a bagel or toast to go with my soft drink. Those are Zero Sugar drinks to help keep my A1C low. It is only checked by a Dr. every 6 months. Thus far I have it down to 5.8. A good portion of that reduction is weight loss. Another portion is my diet of virtually no added sugars. I do watch my intake. 

Later today I will watch G2 versus KOI in the LEC playoffs Upper Bracket Round 1. I think G2 will win but can see a path to victory for KOI. It should be a really good BO5. 

Thanks for reading. Thanks for tipping. Hope you have a good Monday.
