Diabetes, here I come
By the time I got lunch today, I was starting to shake from low blood sugar. I was eating pretty close to my usual time, but this morning I stopped and picked up venti Mocha Frappucino goodness. I don't normally have more than a small cup of coffee in the mornings. Then I had to walk to the other building and back, in the heat, shortly before lunchtime. Physical activity is not my strongsuit, being the chunky monkey that I am. Now I've eaten my six-inch Spicy Italian from Subway, and my body is telling me I should have gotten the 12-inch. I figure once I start to digest a bit, the amount I had will be plenty. It's just that my body hasn't quite come off of its frantic mode.
This doesn't happen to me often, but it's gone on periodically for a long time. Diabetes swings from most branches of my family tree, and I fully expect to end up with it myself, though I have not been diagnosed with it yet. It's not fun, and yet that hasn't been enough to push me to eat any better. Or to exercise. I can be very dense about some things.
In other news, Becky and Manny got a kitten last night. Her name is Gigi. She's very cute and looks a lot like Meredith's cat, Lucky.
My nephew, Pike, just got accepted into the accelerated program at school. Sheridan is in it, too, of course. Yay for Pike!
My niece, Jessica, has just moved to Orlando. She graduated from nursing school this spring and is waiting to take her boards. She'll be working in the bone marrow unit of a local hospital. Her boyfriend of several years has lived in Orlando for about six months. Being good Christian kiddies, they are not living together, though we expect news of an engagement at any time.
Meredith had to do a project for her ASL II class. She had to make a videotape where she introduced herself and told about her life. Then she was to transcribe it and make a photo album of the things she talked about. Since it was due early this week, and her aunt's boyfriend works in video editing, and they were both in Hawaii, Steve made the video of Meredith on their trip. It's turned out really well. Meredith stood by the balcony, wind in her hair, with a view of a pretty canal behind her, and signed all about herself. I don't know how her transcription and photo album compared to the other kids', but I doubt anyone had as neat a video.
Risa (forgotten_poems on MNFF) made me the icon I'm using. Since only she and I were in on the conversation where that quote came from, I don't expect many people to understand it. It cracks me up, though.
