Well, I always remember after I ate a parfait that I have a love/hate relationship with them.  I love how they taste, but boy do they spike my blood sugar!  I think its because I take my insulin, and then it takes me a while to eat it, and the insulin has already worked its magic and I am just eating food which spikes my...

It was nice having a leisurely morning, because we didn’t have to leave for my doctor appointment until 45 minutes later than I usually leave for work.  I ended up making a spinach, egg beater, ham and Swiss cheese breakfast muffin. We got to the appointment a few minutes early – Tony was happy to see Highlights Magazine!  We both grew up reading it at...

I had every intention of making another breakfast parfait yesterday.  But I woke up HANGRY.  So I ate half of one of my copycat Nature Valley granola bars while I was blogging and getting ready for work.  I ended up eating the other half on my way to work with a cup of coffee.  I was busy right off the bat at work, and before...

Friday night when I was working at the restaurant, towards the last hour or so, my big toe on my left foot just started throbbing.  Like someone was poking a knife into it.  I just chalked it up to that my feet were just hurting, and I came home, put my feet up for about 45 minutes and then we went to bed.  Saturday I...

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...
