It feels good. My body feels good. Four days of basketball, with one seriously kick ass weight session afterward. Four days of tossing a football around with my son and shooting baskets with my daughter. One short bike ride back home after taking my old pickup truck to the repair shop. As far as exercise, I’m doing it. And it feels good. But I get sloppy in the evenings. High carb foods combined with estimated carb counts and ballpark boluses PLUS a lot of exercise and activity equals an evening full of lows that leave me feeling fat, guilty, foolish, frustrated, helpless, stupid, and scared. The first low blood sugar I treat with glucose tabs. But because I’ve been so sloppy with my insulin dose, they are not enough to do the trick. So I ha...

I couldn't see anything but pavement and pine trees.  I was absolutely paranoid about deer running across the road.  Paranoid.I was torn between staying at 65mph to hurry through this claustrophobic stretch of highway, or slowing down to feel a little more careful.  The thing is, this is not like headlights, where going slower means you have more time to react.  If a deer darts in front of m...

This was back before Blogger made things easy, and I had to write the entries in HTML. The journal is no longer available, but thanks to the wonderful tools available on the internet, I was able to find much of my old stuff. I'd like to share one of the old...

I bet I'll have a post again one day soon. Stay tuned.Oh, let me try...do I have anything to say? I guess I have a little...Sometimes, I realize that my husband does stupid stuff not only because he's an addict. The addict realization was so elegant (did everyone read MPJ on Spitzer?) that it makes me forget that there are other ways that he can do things wrong. My father always used to drive my mother crazy when he'd attempt to help her clean the house. He'd do a bunch of actions, and he'd accomplish some things, but it's almost as if he had a blind spot when it came to understanding the difference between a dirty floor and a clean floor. He'd push the broom around for the same amount of time as someone who was actually cleaning, but he'd just kind of stir the dirt all over t...

During the holidays exhaustion and stress, "caregivers' syndrome," may be worse due to the extra rushing around. Preparing for festivities is fun, but it can be tiring. Recently I have had several caregivers speak to me about the added exhaustion and stress they feel at this time of the year.I wish there was a special award to give to all the caregivers who do so much to make others lives better, and who often go without thanks and praise for all they do. Being a caregiver is very special. It's not a high status or high paying role, but in the world of nonmaterial things and goodness of heart it's at the top.During the holidays it would be nice to go out of our way to tell caregivers they are special and...

If not, you may want to catch a siesta over the lunch break today. Why so? A tired brain apparently reverts back to primitive behaviors, gets cranky and over-reacts emotionally, when stressors strike – and they will! Have you seen it? Researchers at Harvard Medical School and the University of California at Berkeley used magnetic imaging recently ... to observe crankiness in sleep-deprived people.This new study showed how lack of sleep causes the brain's emotional centers to dramatically overreact to what people perceive as negative experiences. Scientists warn that … while  rested workers are more likely to create peace through popping good tone tactics into problems whenever conflicts arise at work … watch out for sudde...
