The Theme is?

Most blogs have some kind of theme or common thread that runs through it. I thought that mine would be my thoughts on my TV watching. Brit soaps specifically.
Well I get so back logged on those that when I do watch its 5-6 hours worth at a time. And giving my thoughts on that would be difficult.
Then I thought the girls. Letters to Aunt Sarah and outtings with them. Then some one ruined that for me by saying that perverts are out looking for pictures of little kids....ick...Makes me want to take all the pictures down.

Now I think I have a theme.Illness. Does n't that just sound uplifting and something that you want to came back for?
I'm a new diabetic. 2/2/09 one of those days that will stick with me. Stick with me...ha a pun and having to take my blood samples...
Now a month later is it any better...well no. I've still got it but the symptoms are less. I no longer drink 6 gallons of water a day and hit the rest room every hour day and night. I take my two little pills a day and eat healthy. Now here is a funny thing. I went for some diabetic education and was told I'm eating healthy but not getting enough carbs in my diet. I'm not eating enough...WOW...I don't ever think I've heard that in my life. So now I have to find the stuff that I cut out and take it in little portions.

I'm still not friends with Vlad my lancette. I don't like the sight of blood no matter how small and never will.

I was asked how I felt about it and I was honest. I'm pissed at my body for doing this to me...I'm taking the darn pills why isn't everything all better now? I should find out who makes the pills because they must be making a mint.

Next week I'm going for 10hrs of diabetic training. I'm sure that will be fun. It should at the price they are charging. Must not think about price when it comes to ones health...but still...

the Yankee Woodshop Its not

After my diabetic eduction I decided I needed to go shopping. Let all the info thrown at me time to seep into my brain. I hit the near by Goodwill to see if they had any interesting paperbacks. Found a couple and then was ready to walk out and I saw this. I thought wow its ugly. Someones project from 10 years ago. Then I got to look at it and think its solid and in pretty good shape. Maybe a coat of paint and its wouldn't look that bad. So I got it $5. Then I got it home and thought where am I going to put it? It fit fine in the kitchen. I think its a small side board. Some place to put the silver and place mats and napkins. It will be just another place to put junk...The picture make it look beige but really its a light purple...or at least I think.....First I need to get that storage smell out of it.

What Happen to January

The old saying goes "time flies when your having fun." Well that's a bunch of BS. The month of January slide by and I wasn't having fun. On New Years Day I heard one of the radio stations say its all going to be fine in 09. Haven't heard that since...wonder why? Banks,automakers,housing,jobs going away. Who's to blame...Lets not go into that...
So what happened in January. Well a some birthdays and a couple deaths. My darling older sisters turned 55 and 53 and I have a great niece who is 17 now.....oh that makes me feel old.

So what else happened in January...I haven't feel good since thanksgiving. Took the symptoms and looked into Web MD. It was something I knew I had a big chance of getting. Family history and all that fun stuff...Diabetes. Did I do anything about it? No I waited for almost three months...well part of that was getting in to see a doctor. I did get a lot of not taking new patients also.
So I dragged through Christmas and the New Year. But it wasn't going to stop me from taking the road trip of my life.
I went out to D.C. to see the Inauguration. Stayed with a friend and froze by but off. But I was there. Back about the Washington Monument. The parade we watched from the comfort of his home. From what you saw on tv it was that great and more. Na Na Hey Hey...good bye.

When I got back it was back to the grindstone and inventory at work. So that brings me to the end of the month. There was a lot of other drama going on but just let that slide into history and forget about it.
So now its February I'm trying to get my head around carbs and sugars and Diet Dr Pepper. Is it all going to be fine in 09 maybe...

I think its neat
