Turns out Mother Nature isn’t letting go of its winter grip anytime soon.  Yesterday I woke up, it was raining – no big.  I jump in the shower and come out only to see giant flakes of snow falling from the sky.  It snowed the whole way into work – um, it shouldn’t be snowy and 33 degrees in May.  Just sayin. It’s just weird...

I somehow have the task at my office to go to our off site storage unit to pick up old files people are looking for.  No big usually.  Except yesterday was 41 degrees.  Rainy.  Still no big deal.  Until I got to the unit and realized that the roof just slopes forward towards the front door of the storage unit.  Um, there are no gutters...

Thanks again for all the virtual hugs and comments about Tony.  The way we look at it, is that it’s just another life adjustment – just like when I got diagnosed with diabetes, that wasn’t the end of my life, I just had to do things different than I was doing before and that’s how we’ll go forward. I will always be the glass half...

Tony’s doctors appointment to get the results of his liver biopsy was at 3:00 p.m.  At 3:05 we got called into the office and the nurse goes over the usual stuff – takes his blood pressure (perfect by the way), goes over all the medications he takes, etc.  Then she said “okay, you can go back and wait until the doctor is ready to see...

I am done with the excuses.  Working two jobs, Tony being sick.  Since December when I started working at the restaurant, my focus on myself suddenly just . . . dwindled.  I have really no explanation for it.  Yes, in the beginning it was hard working those extra 15-20 hours a week, but guess what – after a while, you get used to it and...

It’s amazing how not working at the restaurant this weekend made it seem so long!  No longer did I have to think I have to get up at xx time on Saturday to get all the stuff I wanted to get done before leaving for work at 4 in the afternoon!  And not having to work a double on Friday night? Priceless! I ended up...

The other day at work I did a Panera run for several of the attorneys at lunch.  I always use my Panera card for the points.  They mentioned that I had a free birthday pastry that needed to be used by May 10, otherwise I’d lose it.  So I did a quick pit stop on the way to work.  So many choices!  But one that...

It’s hard to believe that on April 14 I left work with snow on the ground, the air temperature was 23 degrees but with the wind chill it felt like 15 degrees. Yesterday when I left for the gym?  89 degrees! I am not complaining though – after the winter we’ve had I’ll take warm weather any day.  I just miss the actually spring like...

Do you guys remember last fall when I had a photo shoot downtown?  It felt like so long ago!  From the time the Diabetes magazine contacted me they literally wanted me to get my photos professionally done within a week!  The photographer A.J. was super nice.   But I only really saw the photos through his camera.  Here’s the deal, I was the “model” and had...

Yesterday I hit the ground running at work.  Still training the new girl and I spent a big chunk of my morning at her desk showing her the ropes.  I ended up eating my breakfast at her desk, so no picture, but it was two more Pillsbury Grand breakfast muffins – so good!  I had a banana on the side too. Before I knew it,...
