  • Hey everyone! Home again, safe and sound! I brought my wheel home, so I can work here. It will be about a month before I can go back up to the mountains to work, so I wanted to be able to continue. I want to get my kiln hooked up and work here eventually anyway, so I may as well start now!

    I was not great on eating today. It was SO cold in the studio, I thought I was going to freeze! My feet were cold from the cement floor! I had a can of chicken noodle soup for lunch, and ate dinner with my partner's family...chicken tenders, broccoli, and mashed potatoes. I only ate a bit of the potatoes, which was good for me! I LOVE potatoes, and could have eaten the whole bowl! haha!

    I am pooped, so I better get ready for bed! Will check in tomorrow morning!


  • Monet, I'm so glad to see you getting back to more pottery. We lose something when we don't indulge our creativity.

    Rosey, I hope the food fairy delivered something yummy. Your mention of quilting reminds me to get organized for my first quilting project - a wall hanging for my side door. I have a picture of it somewhere.

    Susan, big meals do cause crashes. Pasta does that to me - a perfect thing for lunch on a day when I want/need a PM nap!

    Skinny, welcome! I love yogurt and fruit and have it almost every day for lunch dessert.

    Glen, any snow in Toro? Did they have to call out the army?

    Meowee, today will be better for sure. Cuddle a cat and stay warm.

    Hi to all the folks I've missed. I'll get to know everyone eventually but just don't have time to post here every day.

    I really should be posting in here more often but MODing keeps me pretty busy. At the moment my HA1C is .060 which delights me AND my doctor. My friend, Dr. Bob, is ecstatic. He's a well known endo who specializes in diabetes and weight management.

    My morning readings were very low for a stretch there - 3.0/54 IS low! I switched my Glyburide from evening to morning and am just fine at around 6 these days as long as I avoid starchy carbs at night. Now if I could just get a handle on this damned weightloss!

    Have a super Hump Day!
  • Well . . . another week of the scales moving in the wrong direction. Since I really do not deserve this, I guess I just have to wait it out and eventually they will learn how to cooperate, but it does get depressing.

    Another middle of the night (3:30 am) BGL of 3.1 (56) didn't help any. When I get up that early, everything is upside down for the rest of the day.

    Hope everybody else has a wonderful day. Keep on moving and shaking, gang . . . see you soon.
  • Meowee, did you have an IV when you were in hospital? It can make you retain water for a while. I hope your day sorts itself out.
  • Thanks again, Ruth . . . that does make me feel a little better . . . I was guessing it had to be something like that. With the number of OR trips in my future for the next few months, I guess I'd better get used to it. Hey . . . as the saying goes (well sort of) . . . all things leave for she who waits, and waits, and waits.
