Warm & Fuzzy

So, we got our monthly statement from my parents for living here. We got a $10 finance charge for not paying them within their allotted time period. Nothing says warm and fuzzy from your own parents than a $10 finance charge! If we are paying them over $900 a month, I sure don't see how we are going to move any time soon. Talking to them doesn't work. They want the $$$ as the finance charge will attest to! As an only child, boy do I feel the love!! Animals eat their young, my mother likes to play with her food first...

Diet

Yet again, today we are working on getting healthier. Why? Because we spent the entire day, yesterday, in bed not feeling well. My acid reflux has been so alive recently I can't eat anything without getting heartburn. And hubby, oh dear, we have a new issue. He has been complaining of chest pains quite a bit lately, he is always rubbing his chest and saying it hurts. Yesterday, he even started the rumblings of going to the doctor. Since everything is closed on Sunday, I had to let my fingers do the walking. Before people freak out about him not going to the hospital, I point out it has been going on for a few weeks and is only slowly getting worse. If it were a heart attack I am sure he wouldn't have been vertical at all. Moving on... it appears he may have some sort of angina. He has the symptoms listed. Yes, it is a problem, and without all of the tests it is difficult to be sure. It seems that without medical intervention, (for whatever his chest pains are) a change of diet and an addint of exercise is the best way to go. He has been eating a lot of beef lately (thank you Restaurant Depot) and eats fast food every day for lunch. I think his arteries and overall health can benefit from more salads, vegetables, and more healthier fare all the way around. I know he isn't feeling well as while he usually jokes about wanting to die (especially when he and his daughter fight) last night he told me what I needed to know about his current jobs and what I needed to know to get them finished. Add this to some other health issues and yeah, stress is high all the way around.
