How is my day going, you ask?

I just realized, I have been sitting here, most of the day, the television on, tuned to a "Swing Kings" music station, and it has been on "mute," apparently just watching the little logo with the name of the tune going up and down the screen. That is the kind of a day this has been, just way too many problems in my life right now. I usually say I judge my life by my "pond" and either how tranquil it is, or how many whitecaps or waves are on it. Today, there is no water in my pond, it is that bad.

Maybe it will fill up tomorrow.

The good news. Marilyn's low salt diet, which I have been eating,  my cutting back on sugar diet, eating a lot of pasta with cheese and unsalted butter, sprinkled with lemon juice,  baked cauliflower, drizzled with olive oil and a lot of fresh garlic. I have lost almost twenty pounds, getting close to 190, have not been there in many years.
