Another Day In Paradise

---

​This husband of mine…

Is eating…a sardine sandwich…not sardines smashed and doctored like tuna salad…not with mustard or Mayo or pickles or relish…just opened the can and put those little fishies…between two slices of bread…

Like to think that man of mine is eating said fish…in solidarity…cholesterol conquering solidarity…supporting his battling wife on her journey…but no…this…is not about her…had the six month old man health checkups…check out those damaged kidneys…the high blood pressure…the diabetes…and what would you know…things look good…really good…except for…

His cholesterol…suddenly shot up…the curse of not walking all day at work…the curse of all that fried red meat…the curse…of old age…

So this husband and I…are now…a cholesterol fighting machine…the caped crusaders of maintaining heart health…Sardine Sandwich Eater and his side kid Step One Foods Lady…battling that overzealous and sometimes dangerous sludgy gunk…with a Pow…and Bam…and our food weapons of choice…so we can live to enjoy…another day in paradise…together…
​
And that partner of mine…agrees…
