The promised warm(ish) and sun-shiny Saturday turned into approximately a hour of weak-ass sun around noon and the same dreary, damp grey of Friday and today. It could be worse though, it could be icing. I almost said 'raining' but we actually need the rain and if I'm going to hermit-up inside it might as well rain. But no, not even that ( Read more... )

So I went in at 2 am this morning to work with the stocking crew to get a few more hours. It wasn't a big truck so I established with Gene that I'd probably leave at 8 am - 6 hours is good. But I was done with my section by just after 5 am and Gene turned me loose to help Sharon (the main lady that does the pricing) if she needed it. Why yes she ( Read more... )

So after the short 3 day week last week, I have 3 days off. I chose to work on New Year's Day and have Mon off. Yesterday I mostly slept. I actually woke up fairly early this morning but lay in bed watching TV until nearly 9. Then I got up and fed myself a decadent breakfast of biscuits and sausage gravy (actually not bad in carbs though ( Read more... )

I seem to be having a blah day. Not blah!, just...blah. So a lot of this post will have to do with food because food always interests me. *G ( Read more... )

I haven't had to work a night shift in months but I am today - 12-9. I don't know why Rich decided that I needed to but he wouldn't change it with subtle hints. It kinda sucks because I'm so used to getting up at 6 am that I couldn't sleep much longer. I get up fairly early on my days off, too, but I'm able to go take a nap if I want. No such luck ( Read more... )

So I'm trying to get my ass out of this chair and away from the computer and get moving. No offense guys, I love you, you know I do but it's a somewhat dysfunctional relationship (me and my computer that is). I've got the urge to get myself back under control and continue the weight loss again and I have to strike while the drive is with me. I have ( Read more... )

Man, why did it take me almost 8 months after being diagnosed with diabetes to remember that there is a snack food - salty, crunchy, loaded with fat and with very little nutritional value - that I can eat without seriously borking my blood sugar? In fact, it doesn't effect my blood sugar at all because it's totally carb free. And it's still not at ( Read more... )

I had my first education class today. I can't say that I learned all that much, although there were a couple of useful tips. I will profess to being totally dumb-founded at the level of ignorance over the very basics of nutrition that almost everyone else in the class had. There were 5 actual enrollees and 2 people (both men) brought their spouses ( Read more... )

Man, I am so behind in my smut reading it's not even funny. I keep cramming stories in memory like a chipmunk packing nuts in his cheeks. Most of my reading these days is of the non-fiction type. I have 26 books checked out from the library and they're all about diabetes or food management ( Read more... )

There is much of the good and only a little of the bad ( Read more... )
