The Heart Healthy, Diabetic Friendly Breakfast of Champions are born today. You will never be the same after today. You will rise up like the eagle and sore to new heights and you will not be shaken. Take today to restart any goals you have from the new year we are in 2nd quarter and six days into it all ready; time is going by so fast as we get older if fly's out the window. Even when in treatment programs it goes by pretty fast.
I had my favorite cab driver; Tom, tonight and a safe drive back to Anchor House. Good report from the Doctor and no cancer. Taking more Zyprexa 2x per day and one prn. If that doesn't work we can put a scheduled Geodon in the mid-day and do 60 40 80mg per day 3x per day. Thank you, for your on going prayers wouldn't make it without you, ocs and officer captains.
