    Today was the day we traveled to the Valley for doctors' appointments. Our first was at 1130, our second at 1515. This is why her stats are a bit uppity, especially considering the meals she consumed. I don't worry about blips like this. They happen in everyone's life, so, they certainly deserve to happen in my mother's.
