Since I hadn't had anything but a few crackers all day, I ate some steamed chicken, rice and broth type stuff for dinner - it is sitting like an unpleasant lump in my stomach and I hope that this doesn't . . .

Well, the good part of today was that Wal-Mart didn't show for that hearing (the rescheduled one, because they didn't show for the last one, either) - and didn't call this time, so hopefully . . .
