Well, went down with hubby yesterday and he promised me a good dinner if I tootled around with him in the big truck. So I did, brought the Diane Mott Davidson book 'Double Shot' along and my BoInk. It is the one in the Goldy Schultz, Caterer series that I somehow missed. Has to be that dreadful habit of publisher's to include a chapter of the new, upcoming, unpublished book at the end of the last in the series. I can't tell you how many in a series I have missed because I look at the first chapter of the new book and think, "well, this is familiar, I've read this already", and then miss the next installment!!!
Got some stitching in on my very delayed BoInk and am going to love my choice in green (DMC 3848) It is a beautiful soft, medium green. I am going to switch out the yellow I chose, 726 for a brighter yellow. Will see, maybe the original choice will look better.
Somehow my glucometer slipped out of my purse (wondered why it felt so light and had so much extra room and ease of zipping), so was a bit nervous with my food choices yesterday and why I was feeling so strange and didn't know where my blood sugar was at.
Stopped after his last sale and bought another $18.00 glucometer and was able to establish my bs. By the time we got to Mystic for dinner it was down to 109, which is low for me. When it gets that low, I start dropping fast. Glad we were in the restaurant so I could get those carbs and other foods in. Felt much better after eating.
Well, gotta go, have auction house crew dinner to make, and we are having meat loaf, baked potatoes, croissants, green beans (if I can find them in the kitchen there), veggies with dip and carrot cake for dessert.
So gotta boogie.....Huggs

busy day ahead
Just finished doing a bunch of things on the computer. Didn't get much sleep and am yawning already. Need to get going to get ready for my appointment at 3:15 an hour and a half away, and just don't seem to have any energy.
Blood sugars down today at 9:05 am with 2 eggs, hot green tea 12 baked Cheetos (I know, I know, but they were the only carbs in the mini-meal) and about a half hour later, 6 chocolate M&M's the Weigh Down method.
However, need to eat something now that it is 11:05 am and have to get going.
Made oatmeal with a craisin and golden raisin blend. Needed some protein other than the 1/2 cup milk, so made a cheddarwurst with a small piece of baguette with 1 1/2 tsp butter.
Really have to go, I have to leave around 12:30 and that is just a little over an hour from now.
Took the baked Cheetos along for the ride.

Huggs,
What a day!
Well, went to check on the name of a surgery, and lost the entire posting. Well, since I don't want to go through it again, leave it to say that this has been the most unproductive day, ever.
I didn't even get one stitch in on my BoInk (Book of Ink Circles site) for the cross stitching project I have just started. A bad day is a day when you can't stitch.
Sinus infection is still giving me a run for the money and started the second session of Levaquin 500 mg tabs today. It is better than the Zithromax on my body insofar as I don't have the 'bad bowel' syndrome. 'Nuf said on that score.
Hubby is gently snoring and had his fill of Craig's List today. Well, maybe not. I will get a t-shirt that says "Pray for Me...I am a Craig's List Widow"!
But that is ok with me. It is his business to check pricing on all sorts of goods as that is his job, 24/7/52. He lives and breathes, how shall we say, commodities? Things we all buy to live our lives with. From Soup to Nuts...as that is what eventually appears in the Auction House.
My blood sugar has been all over today, and finally at 11:35pm it was down to 135. Since I had that one horrendous meal today (could have done without the carrot cake muffin with frosting for dessert), I was hungry. So I opted for the standard fare of 2 basted eggs and about 10 baked Cheetos for carb value.
I really have to get back into the Glycemic Index way of eating.
I feel so much better when I do....but when you aren't feeling well, you grab what is handiest, in this case, my ever favourite basted eggs.
I am enjoying a cup of hot green tea, and will have to go back to putting green tea bags in my water bottle. Looks kind of funky, but I can ingest a whole lot more water that way. Need to drink more water. Green tea is good for you, it should be put in our local water supply. But since I live on a farm, it would be difficult to put into our new well.
Well, am not boogey-eyed from sinus pressure (med must be kicking in), and I do feel 'un-tired', gee, wonder why, so think I will get a package ready for mailing to Washington to my friend Penny Q. tomorrow. She deserves the goodies I will send. She has more health problems than I do, and I just want to help her find the additional joy in cross stitching with some cross stitching supplies. Hope this package will do it. May tuck in a small goodie if I can find them. If not, I guess that means I need to reorganize things around here.
Since it is now 1:30am+, good night all, sweet dreams.
