another problem might have been solved. I had two very big bags of sweaters under the bed. I threw one a few weeks ago when I found holes in it. bugs had gotten into it. yesterday I just wanted to check again the other bag which was okay the last time I checked. It seemed fine but when I turned it over I saw some holes. I threw it down the compactor so now I have no sweaters but definitely less bugs.
I had bought cookies and I threw those out this morning.
I am going to start buying chicken and making chicken soup. Maybe that will heal my stomach.
