Talking very rewarding end of a long day

Yesterday was a long emotional day for me. On my way to work, my vehicle started to make some load sounds from the front end.It was so loud I was embarrassed when pulling in to the parking lot. I was very upset also because I had so many plans to do after work. So I called my garage and they told me to come in around noon and they would take a look, Through the day I started to stress that I wouldn't be able to go to my dr.s appt. ( an hour away) to see how I did on my first week being on the Medifast protien shake diet. Then I had to travel an hour and half from home to go to my baby sisters high school graduation and see her speak she has the secound highest average in the class (The Salutatorian). Then someone from work brought in a picture of my sister in the paper and I started to cry, thinking I wouldn't make it in her cap and gown. So when I got to the garage, you know how fast they areThey tell me that my trailblazer is unsafe to drive. Just about to cancell every appt. when the cashier said well instead of cancelling we can work on getting you a rental car, I said yes, thank you. Finially I was in a rental rushing to the dr.s appt. 10 mins. late but well worth it because I shocked myself, I lost 14.1 lbs in just one week of the medifast drinks. I was speachless, the nurse said you should be happy. oh believe me I was Then I jumped in my rent a car and drove home changed and fixed up alittle and headed to my sisters school, 10 mins late but got to see my baby sister do her speach and give her a big hug in the middle of the cerimony and watch her get her diploma, It was great I am so proud of her!!! So it turned out to be a great night.

I know it's a long story but I just felt like shareing it. next day and I am still smileing

I'm so glad everything worked out for you. I'm sure it meant a lot to your sister. I was once in her position giving that speech and looking out and seeing my sisters there meant the world to me. You should know that you being there meant a lot to her.

She plans going to college here in New York, Keuka College.

I don't think I could be any proud of her, I know she will do well in life

Tomorrow is the party, hopefully the weather will be good

Thanks for caring
