We celebrated the Fourth on the second at my Uncle’s house. I was surprised by how few people showed up. I saw my Uncle Dan he is doing well after his wife passed. It was nice to see everyone who was there….Well not everyone. I have decided I am done with my cousin Alice. I know, I know I have said that for years but this time I am done. I didn’t really even talk to her. It’s clear she doesn’t really want me in her life and that’s that.

I had to go to the hospital for a test for my acid reflux. It just has been bad since late last year. I was for sure thinking I had an ulcer. Well, not that. I do have acid reflux but it’s mild. I found out I have an incurable stomach issue. I have gastroparesis. Basically, my stomach can’t process certain foods easily. I had to fast to get this test done and hadn’t eaten anything for 12 hours. Cheese stuck in my stomach from eating that at noon the day before. I do have some of the symptoms that go along with that as well. So, I am unsure about going forward and what I will do for sure.

Tex turned 5! Can he stop aging now? He had a great bday! He got a dog cookie. My mom and dad got Tex a new toy! He is such a good boy! We love him very much.
