New year stuff

Jan 08, 2007 18:50

Well I guess I'll just have to contribute to the whole new year's resolutions and what not bandwagon. Really this year I just want to contiue developing healthy habits like last year. I need to go back to the gym, mostly for helping keeping my bloodsugars down, but hey I'll take any extra perks as well. I'm aiming for making my A1C a 6.5 or lower. I purchased a new glucose monitor and it has some intresting features. I can keep a digital logbook instead of a written one. It's one less thing to carry around. I can input how much insulin I take, any health notes like stress or exercise, and if I can get good at it, food information. This meter will show me how all of that is effecting my blood sugar, possibly making it easier to manage. Oh and I want to get my bloodsugar down, because I'd like to procreate. We'll see where we get with that.

I still want to plug away at school. That means re-taking algebra and taking chemistry and microbiology. I'm toying with the idea of learning a foreign language. Not sure, we'll have to see what options there are. I still want to personalize my livejournal and hopefully pay for another year. As always I'm exploring new things, I'd really like to try and experiment with my look. To that end I've cut my hair short. Though I have to be careful, I'm in a wedding this year. I need to help plan a bachelorette party and probably a bridal shower and what not. My little sister is having a baby, so there's gift getting for that. I'm trying to chrochet a baby blanket but I can't seem to figure out how to do a popcorn stitch. I'll need to learn that, oh and complete some embroidery I've started.

Chirtimas was a bummer for the most part. Just didn't seem like it was worth celebrating at all. Seemed everyone else felt that way as well. Perhaps next year will be better. Our daschound seems to be welcome where ever we take her. She's still stubron at times, but not turely distructive or misbehaved. At least as long as she's with us. Otherwise she shatters people eardrums with her crying. She's thouroughly used to sleeping with us. In fact she expects us to go to bed when she wants to. The other night we were woken up because there was an owl hooting in the yard and Dash thought it was going to eat us. Silly dog. Louie the bunny is getting pretty gray. His ears and nose are now covered over. I'm going to sob uncontrollably when he dies. My fish keep dying. New tank syndrome is annoying. Oh and the Hamster Igore is terrified of human interaction. I knew I should have held out for something larger.

Hmm I'd like to set up some kind of music rotation, but not sure I have the viewership that such would require. I can't afford to see the psychiatrist for my antidepressants. Need to talk to the family doctor about writing me prescriptions for those. I'd hate to stop taking them when they're working. I'm still expanding my mp3 collection, and drooling over an ipod. It'd be nice to have my own music to listen to when at the gym. I'd like to get some yun yu, some of the music from fullmetal alchemist movie, some jack off jill and other stuff I've only recently discovered. I'm trying not to get excited about my birthday. Christmas was just a bit too disappointing for me to raise my expectations. Sure there's stuff I'd like, but whatever.

I want to keep learning to sew and put together my own stuff. It's easier than asking for it sometimes. I'd also like to develop some friendships outside of my current circle so I can have something of a social life. I'm too much of a housewife and it's draining me. I live for social interaction of some sort. Well I think that's about it for now. I'll try and keep updating and keep this thing going. Hope you all had a wonderful New Years.
