I'm back... kinda
Well, I can't believe I stayed away as long as I did. It was hard. And honestly, I should probably not be back quite yet because while the tension headaches from being at the computer too much are gone, they've been replaced by sleep deprivation ones. But I missed you all too much. So back I am.
And now, since I know you guys missed me too and are dying to know... here's a run down of what I've been up to:
I got a TON of writing done. Well, okay, a ton for me. I know 6K isn't much, but I'm a slow writer, people. To get that much in just a little over a week is really good for me.
Spent lots of time with T.
Watched more Doctor Who with Chriss. I'm warming up to David Tennant, but I still miss Christopher Eccleston. I've realized it's because he reminds me of my husband. They've got a lot of the same mannerisms and that grin of his... I see that all the time on Chriss. Especially when he knows I'm about to get annoyed with him about something.
I haven't been missing snow. It was great having a week with no more than an occasional dusting, even if it was cold. But today it's back. School was canceled, but I'm not complaining cause it gave me a chance to sleep in and I don't have to drive today.
The reason I'm only kinda back is because for the rest of the week I'm looking at a nice dose of sleep deprivation. T's been having a bad problem with lows the past week and a half. On Monday, the school nurse called to tell me he dropped down to 34 and was having a really hard time coming out of it. He ended up being okay after eating lunch, but dropped again after recess. I got out his chart and counted out how many lows he'd had and there'd been 22 since the 15th. That's way too many. So I called the Joslin Center and we made all sorts of changes to his insulin doses. But, as part of making sure those changes are good ones, I'm supposed to get up at 2 a.m. every night for four nights (two down, two to go) to check his blood sugar.
Chriss was nice enough to get up last night but I still had to wake up to answer a question he had. And my efforts to go to bed early have been thwarted these past two nights because I've been helping Chriss get a submission package ready for a screenwriting contest. Eight lucky people get to take a free summer course taught by some lady who has written,directed, and edited a lot of scripts for TV.
So anyway, now I've got tired headaches and today, at least, I've got a five-year-old to entertain. So for the rest of this week I still might have less of a presence here than I'd prefer, but I am making my way back.
