Here's the low down on the low down...

So yeah, that's it - I have low blood sugar - or hypoglycemia (that sounds better, doesn't it?). Not a big deal, I just need to watch my diet a little better and all that. So, I go meet with a dietitian next Tuesday to learn more about it. I guess, it could be a big deal, if I don't watch it. As for the numb toes, well - not sure on that yet. It could be caused by my anxiety attacks, which could be caused by the low sugar levels - who knows. So, we're just going to keep watching it all and see if anything changes. The results of the glucose test that I took on Saturday showed that I had a critically low level - right there in between 5 and 6 - yeah, when they had to carry me back to the room. Hmmm - well, there you go. Anyway, I think I eat pretty good as it is now, I just don't always eat when I'm sposed to - you know? Oh well, we'll see...

Hmmm - what else? I don't know... nothing else I guess. Odds and ends...

  • School starts tomorrow, i think both of the brats lil darlings are looking forward to it. At least for the first week!
  • The air conditioning in my car has died - it has not been pleasant driving lately - especially with these 100 degree days lately. AUGH.
  • I've lost 2 lbs - many more to go. (I could probly sweat out another 2 lbs if i go sit in my car for lunch... haha!)
  • I'm at a standstill on my current painting at home right now - "white rabbit" - I don't want to do too much to it and then ruin it... we'll see, i'll post some pics soon, so you can see my progress.
  • still stuck on the tat idea too - just can't focus lately...

ok - that's all folks...i'll chat with you more later. hope you're having a better day than me! ;)

KEL! So it seems that they are going to manage this with diet? That sucks! As for school, my lil dudes start their new school the end of the month! When did yours get OUT - it doesn't seem like much of a vacation!

Oh, and Jeff loves your idea with the Ying/Yang and the Coi - he says they are both part of serenity - it's like a japanese garden. Mellow.

As for the diet - what are you doing? I'm not eating the catered lunches I bring anymore - and I'm only eating lean cuisine at night. (Along with my margarita's!)

Take care sweetie!

I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia when I was younger - I would faint if my sugar got too low - it sucked when I was in high school - they didn't allow you to snack like I needed to. The diet isn't too bad - moderate sodas and very few candy bars (though a snickers is a life saver when you're crashing) and watch your alcohol intake (the sucks part).

That sucks about your air conditioning - I start sweating as soon as I walk outside!

Trish - the kids got out of school around mid may - so they get out a bit earlier - PLUS, they also have a fall break (1 wk off in Oct) - so it's not as bad as it sounds.

i'm still leaning towards the koi myself, we'll see...

diet? well - kinda following south beach right now, but just trying to eat good - gotta learn about all this blood sugar stuff too. sigh.

ari - i know, i'm melting! I really have to get this air fixed, it's ridiculous! I can't imagine that i'll have to change my diet TOO much, i think i eat pretty good as it is, but obviously not good enough - these "spells" that i have are NOT fun. :(
