when's baseball start again?
*sigh*
And another shaky season of basketball comes to an end. All we heard all season was 'this is not a typical Bill Self team' over and over and, guess what, no fucking kidding. No size, no team play, no seniors, no four year players and only one true three year player who took the time to develop. I HATE one and done. It doesn't work for KU. We need players to stick around and become a team! Wichita State blew us away because they're not a bunch of four and five star recruit underclassmen that leave after one year! They're a team, mostly upperclassmen who have played together for years.
*sigh*
At least the idiot governor got booed at the game.
Anyway, back to Saturday. I had my doctor's appointment, dreading how high my A1C would be because I've eaten crap--candy, carbs, white bread, icecream etc etc--and it was 5.7. 5.6 is normal. IDEK guys! Really gives me no motivation to diet if my diabetes is controlled by medication! So, because of the lovely prescription insurance, I asked her about the newest secondary diabetes med and the appetite suppressant she'd wanted me on a year ago and I couldn't afford it. The diabetes med is the new one that makes you pee out sugar, and I'm switching the insulin for Victoza. Of course I have three insulin pens left but oh well. In other news, I'd lost one pound, and my kidneys are, in her words, perfect. Considering that my mom has stage four kidney disease and kidneys are some of the first things to go for diabetics, this is very good. I go back to see her in a month to make sure the new meds are working okay.
Saturday's happy: good doctor visit.
Then I watched basketball all day and read fanfic.
On Sunday I convened and did all the other stuff in the service outside of the children's story and the sermon for a visiting minister. Very nice guy, the minister of the Wichita church; interesting sermon on the spiritual aspect of helping others, giving in service etc. Then went out to parents' to watch the final KU game of the season.
*sigh*
Sunday's happy: surprisingly good turn out (around 75 adults) for a visiting minister and the last day of Spring Break.
After looking at the price of laptops, I decided to stop by Best Buy on Monday and buy a new keyboard. New plan is to get a new laptop next August in time to get it all up and running and fic tabs open to take to England in September.
Monday that time of the month (which for the first time in about nine months is actually two months in a row--where are the damn hot flashes? I'm freezing here!) started so I was all crampy by the end of the work day. Dragged myself to BB for a $15 keyboard for which the checkout dude wanted to sell me a two year warranty. Yeah, lol, no. It's a tide me over measure until I get a new laptop. It cost $16.80something with tax. I'm pretty sure I can afford a new one if it breaks in a couple months. Then the grocery where every KU student was shopping first day back from Spring Break. Had spaghetti for dinner and icecream with chocolate cake because crampy and apparently I'm barely diabetic. (Oh, and my report said that they did what I assume is a finger prick style blood test to see what my blood sugar was and it was 94, perfectly normal. IDEK. I'm more and more convinced the massive infections I had for four or five years between the gallbladder and the ulcerated colitis is what made me have a blood sugar of over three hundred in the hospital two and a half years ago and had it fluctuating until, y'know, the massive infections went away last summer.)
I had a huge pile of work to do from the two days I was off and still, after two days, have a huge pile of work.
Monday's happy was: Dillons makes yummy chocolate cake.
I really wish people wouldn't leave critiques on AO3's bookmark system. You can't respond to (or delete) a bookmark! It wasn't a horrible critique--they said a few nice things, too--but it still irked me that I couldn't respond. Why didn't they leave a comment?! (Maybe they thought I'd delete it? I've only done that once and it was extremely rude and flaming. Most comments that aren't nice at least don't get all up on calling me a horrible writer who loves rape and crap like that. I'll leave those--won't respond to them, but will leave them.)
Today was a long boring rainy chilly day, but other attorney was out of town, so I was able to watch the last two Once Upon Time eps while filing and stuff before boss came in. Now at parents' "working" while dad's at a church meeting and mom's there organizing the choir music (since he no longer drives at night). I'm cold, want my heating pad, and plan to curl up with it and more chocolate cake and watch Forever and SHIELD when I get home.
Today's happy: Hook is so damn sexy.
