Powerball is up to $875 million. Have you purchased your tickets? We have yet to get any.
I was accepted for a 3rd study in 2 months! I rarely qualify for panel or group studies; but I got a call from a survey site that I've been a member for YEARS and have never heard from them. More money for the "eating out fund".
Vermont and Pennsylvania here in the United States have suffered horrendous flooding. Roads are washed out and businesses and homes have been flooded.
Climate change is causing the color of our oceans to change.
Malaria cases have now been found in Florida and Texas. Experts fear that malaria is making a comeback in the United States. Each year there are about 20,000 cases. I had NO IDEA we have that many malaria cases on a regular basis!!!
Norovirus outbreaks are surging on cruise ships. Norovirus is a nasty gastrointestinal virus. The CDC says that there have been 13 outbreaks so far this year...the highest in a decade.
We got a little bit of rain yesterday! Still need a lot more.
Breakfast - Protein bar
Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Meatball sub, carrots, broccoli
Dessert/Snack - Lemon muffin and decaf coffee
Dinner - Yogurt
What did you eat yesterday?

I heard on the news this morning about the power ball and the Norovirus. I didn't know there was flooding in Vermont and Pennsylvania. That's not good. There were also seven tornadoes in Chicago with one touching down near O'Hara International Airport.
Your food sounds good for yesterday.
My food yesterday was - Breakfast - Eggs, Potato, and a Banana. Lunch - Cheese sandwich on Low Sodium Ezekiel Bread and Strawberry Shortcake - fresh strawberries on Angel food cake with whipped topping. Supper - Oatmeal. I'm still keeping well under my calorie budget.

Yes, I heard about the Chicago tornado. Probably very unusual. Good that you're staying within your calorie budget. Enjoy your day.

@LindaOHio No, it's not at all good, and we can only hope that no one will use virus as a war weapon.

I just read today that the waters along Florida are the hottest they have ever been and the purpose of water in a hot state like Florida was to cool off. I had pork patties and some scoops of cottage cheese,

The flooding in Vermont is horrible. And they're expecting more rain and possible landslides. Those poor people.
My part of Pennsylvania is okay but our small creeks have a tendency to flood causing some road closures.
Imagine winning that much money in the lottery!
Last night we had chicken, baked potatoes and broccoli

I could think of so many things to do with that money. Could donate a whole bunch. Your dinner sounds really good.
