DREAD

The weather here has turned cold. We were being spoiled by a nice warm winter. Now all of a sudden it is freaking cold here. Not much snow here yet, which stinks but I think the animals are happy about that. Our chickens are not the brightest animals on the farm they continue to lay eggs even though it is fridged here. There eggs make great egg salad. Let's see this has been a hectic month so far. My girl scout troop has been doing Zink the Zebra workshops. This program is absolutely AWESOME. It teaches kids about differences and accepting those who are different. Over the weekend we went on two fantastic council trips. They earned a patch at one and worked with flowers and stuff. That was a super cool workshop unfortunately the scents gave me a major migraine. I have about another 2 weeks before the cookie orders start coming into me. I am dreading that. I actually take the time to type in the orders onto the computer. It double checks the math and everything.
I am dreading my appointment tomorrow morning with the pain doc. It is time to get this gosh darn pain pump filled. I HATE that. Actually the doctor is off tomorrow but coming in to fill my pain pump and take care of another patient. I like the doctor just hate the filling of the damn thing. The next day we have to go to another appointment about my benefits. I hate this but luckily found the paperwork I needed. I will start volunteering at one of our local schools.
I am also working on learning to Crochet and knit. A friend was instructing me online and I think I can actually get two lines of Crochet done. I am also using online instructions from www.learntoknit.com. It will be a miracle if this spaz can learn to do both or one of these things. I have read lots of books lately. Currently I am working on the 4th Sisterhood of the Traveling pants book. I am really enjoying it so far. I also have read 3 Agatha Raisin books since the beginning of the year. I am working on lowering my a1c. I go to the endocriminologist on February 1st. I am not sure I am going to succeed in the new me challenge. I think I might get my 2 week average under 170 but, the lows are happening a lot. I think I have used up the 6 already. Oh a cause for celebration. I have Copilot back on my computer. Of course the scariest graph showed that 49% of the time I am high and 51% of the time I am either low or in range. This is just horrible. These are all numbers from before Christmas. I was too lazy to download my pump into the computer. I need to download them again soon. We just found out today my cousin's daughter is pregnant with twins. She has the cutest one year old. He was at our house last Wednesday. One super fast crawler. I actually enjoy the kids and love to play with them. He also provided a great break for us. We were cleaning out the closets last week. He and his grandma came and visited with us for awhile which was a welcome break. I need to clean up my messy room one of these days. Well I had better get going since it is only 5 hours till the appointment I am dreading.

Boy you have a lot on your plate lately!

Can I tell you something funny? I came here thinking I clicked on Bernard's blog (trying to read in order today LOL). I was thinking as I was reading about the crocheting, knitting and Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants parts "wow! good for him, he really is in touch with his feminine side..." whoops!

That is way too funny! Poor Bernard.

That Zink site is awesome. I will need to share that with our support group.

I hope all is going well for you.
