My BG's skyrocket when I'm sick... I use double the normal amount of insulin when I'm ill... it sucks!
I have a doctor's appointment next Monday, which I may have to reschedule because a big project for work....I might be out of town. I wish I had more than the "day before" notice though.
Got my jewelry stuff, invitations are in... Things are SLOWLY starting to come together. I hate being last minute, but Ol' DF seems to thrive on it.
Bridal shower on Aug 5th.
Well, gotta run, the rat race just isn't the same without me!

Sorry I haven't been around much... I've been out of town and getting ready to go again next week. I'll be leaving Saturday for a mission trip for a week...
How has your day been?
For me, it was a normal day at day camp... as usual, some of the boys were fussing and fighting... I also had a doctor's appt this afternoon... good reports there. He said I'm doing great... Lab work for diabetes, cholesterol etc looking great... right where they need to be. My HgbA1C was 5.4. We had to adjust my thyroid medicine again... and my iron is a little low.. need to start on a vitamins with iron... I have some (well, need to check the iron part) just hadn't been taking them... I was down 4 pounds from my last visit... not much but it's good... especially since I had gained and lost during the time frame...Overall, he said I was doing a great job and things looked good...
Monet- sorry to read that you still aren't feeling well.
Rosey- it's such fun to go to yard sales. Saturday is the day to go around here.
Jeanne- I've been on Byetta since October. I've lost about 40 pounds. I have learned and am still learning that some things work while others don't. I'm like Monet, I have to have some protein in the morning with it or I feel yuk!
I couldn't sleep, so I got up and got on here. I am kind of frustrated, since I feel sure sleep will help me feel better, but everytime I lay down, I can't breathe, so I can't fall asleep. I think I may go fix myself a cup of Sleepytime tea.
REBA: Where are you going on your mission trip? We went on one years ago to Poland. It was awesome....but then, mission trips often are!
ROSEY: I have two big orange tabby cats. They are both fraidy cats, though. Both of them are terrified of thunder!
JOSIAN: The wedding will be here before you know it! I love weddings...I am the wedding coordinator for my church.

Hi, all. Tried all afternoon yesterday and couldn't get into this site. We're experiencing a drawnout heat wave. Ugh. We've had 3 "spare the air" days this week which means public transportation is free. As a result all the freeloaders are messing up my commute by taking free cable car rides (normally it's $5 a ride except for those of us with commute passes). Well, today's the last one anyway. I've been drinking too many Starbucks iced chais but I've lost one of the 2 lbs I put on last week.
Monet - sorry you're sick. Hope you get better in time to enjoy the party.
Rosey - the furnace in July! Oh I would trade with you. Hope you get your energy back. Enjoy the garage sales.
Reba - welcome back. Congrats on the 40 lbs. Byetta sure sounds like a miracle drug.
Moongoddess - congrats on your A1c. Mine is in that range although I still have problems with my morning sls. Can't seem to get them down.
Jeanne - good to hear from you.
Meowee, glen
Hey, Everyone! I went to Costco this afternoon and got the flowers for the tables tomorrow. I also stopped at Harry's/Whole Foods to get milk and eggs. I got some Agave nectar too. Have any of you tried it? The brand to get is Sweet Cactus Farms and the GI of it is very low, making it suitable for diabetics to use to sweeten coffee, or tea. I have cooked with it some too, but it is so expensive now, I try to avoid baking with it and just use it sparingly. I find it does not affect my sugar levels much. It is the consistency of honey and tastes like honey. Good stuff!
I am going to take another nap now. Those two errands wiped me out! Have I mentioned I HATE being sick?
Morning everyone..still cool here.. we had agreat day garage saleing..i didnt get anything but it was fun to watch the grkids shop for all their treasures..and we had a dairy queen treat..i had a mocha moo-latte yummy and im sure was very bad for me..nothing exciting planned for the weekend.. have agreat weekend everyone (((((((hugs))))))) rosey
