oy vey!

Since I last posted, I've seen an endocrinologist.

She changed me to Lantus and Novolog. It's working great, well, when I have a brain.

This morning in a fog, I took Lantus when I wasn't supposed to. It's my beddy-bye med :) I'm supposed to take Novolog in the morning. Call to the nurse and just had to adjust things today but the problem is I've been overeating all day because I was worried about going too low.

Tomorrow is another day.

Say it isn't so . . .

This is a darn shame, 'cuz I don't know where my leaky snow boots are. :(

I was hoping to get through January without snow. Of course, then in February I would hope the same thing :)

Perhaps I should move to aruba!

Dogs think we're crazy

My husband, at my daughter's suggestion, bought me one of the massage chair back thingees for Christmas. I finally got it out tonight. I'm working late trying to get a project finished and thought, hey, that will be nice. And it is nice.

However, this has the dog perplexed. He keeps walking over and staring at my back. You know, the whole head tilt thing. Cracks me up. He actually growled at it once.

I love that dog.

Sunday night

Ready for another week. Ye-freakin-ha.

Went to Outback for dinner tonight. Underwhelmed, completely underwhelmed by the food.
Service was excellent, though.

Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone.

Aruban Sunset

I know everybody's working for the weekend, but weekends are lonely for me.

My own fault. I've lived in Champaign since 2001 and I still don't have any close friends my age. Consequently, no girlfriends to go out for girls night or to grab something to eat or to catch a movie.

The person I live with is down watching some damn show about a bomb disposal team in Afghanistan --- which I'm sure is interesting to somebody but not to me. The television is inoperable to me because the person downstairs has the cable remote.

I can officially say that typing a blog entry is a time killer. I can only check FB so many times or play Words with Friends or Hanging with Friends before I want to gouge my eyes out.

Then today, I find out that I get to spend tomorrow alone, too. "Oh, yeah, did I forget to tell you I have to work Sunday?"

I act like it matters --- we never spend time on the same floor of the condo at the same time anyway.

Pointless.

Humpity Hump Day is over :)

I assumed new responsibilities at work. On one hand, NOT excited. On the other I like the challenge. Seems like more and more is getting put on me, but I still have a job.

Even though I work at home for people I have never seen, I take my responsibilities seriously.

I will be invoicing for clients now. My clients and other people's clients.

My clients I understand. Their clients I do not.

I also had a bad experience to day with a contractor. I wanted to strangle the person which makes working over the internet a positive. I'd hate to end up in jail. So, I passed the person and their problem on to one of my co-workers when that contractor basically called me stupid. I was too stupid to work with them, that's for sure.

Granddaughter starts back to school after the winter break. I know she'll be happy to get back into her routine. She loves school. I'm grateful that my daughter was smart enough to do what she thought was right and got her the help she needed so she could be successful at school and love it.

Humpity Hump Day

I'm told old for this but I love this video:

This video is a parody of the 2002 horror film 28 Days Later.
The wonderful choreography is by Quest Crew.

I also find this one amusing, though some my be offended :)

The hunky one is Wilmer Valderrama who played Fez on That 70s show.

Check them out and see how deranged I am.

New Year has arrived

As it does every year or so.

Already working hard on getting some health issues handled.

• new glasses
• saw a podiatrist, new med.
• scheduled to see an endocrinologist
• need to schedule to see an opthamologist
• need to schedule to get a colonoscopy (oh, joy)
• need to get a mammogram

So, well not that much done but some.

Diabetes is almost a full time job. And after all these years, I don't fully understand it. I've been on insulin for over a year now and still don't understand that either. I never know how much to give for particular blood sugar levels. One of the reasons my primary care wanted me to go to an endocrinologist was so that I could explore changing from NPH to Lantus. Apparently it's more 'modern'.

It is hard to get back into a better eating pattern. I want what I want when I want it. Like right now? I want a coke. Really badly, I want a coke. And there is nothing else sweet in the house, because I drank the last of the grape juice earlier today.

I find that when I do best with diabetes is when I have a good schedule. As soon as the little one goes back to school I'll try to do just that --- schedule.
