My blood sugar tests out between 130-140.  Better, but not where it should be.  It’ll take a couple more months.

Glad people seemed to enjoy my Unsucky Vampire Post, even if there was some disagreement.

I will respond to e-mail. I will do a better job of it!

I will respond to comments and also comment MORE on my friends’ blogs.  I’m pretty opinionated in real life, but shy in my online life. Go fig.

Oh, this just in from a latest scientific research project :  Women are most likely to recoil in horror from ugly babies, even their own.  Guess the old axiom about having a face only a mother could love is wrong.

(I’ll talk about Michael Jackson, but not right now. I am still bummed.  A major part of my childhood has gone.  I loved his music, and pitied him, rather than hate him.)

Finally, in dumb ass criminal news…

Clackamas, OR—

A  man, who shall remain nameless—well, ok, I’ll call him Doofus McGee— called 911 for having been shorted money by a McDonald’s. Said he was robbed.  The dispatcher told him that he could be arrested for dialing in an non emergency call and hung up.  The idiot called twice more before they sent an officer to pick the moron up.  Apparently, the dispatchers had realized that A) the caller was mentally deficient or B) they didn’t want to waste an officer’s time.  I’m going with the latter explanation.

Well, I’m off!  To South Carolina!  Expect photos when I get back.

Ugh.  I hate it when real life gets in the way of my blogging.  Good news!  My blood sugar levels have been consistently going down.  Today? It was 134.  Still too high, but it’s getting to where It needs to be.  Unfortunately, diarrhea has been a side effect, but it’s been going away. Too much information, I know, but I like to keep it real.  Good and bad.  It only happens when I up my dosage (according to doc’s directions, of course) or take it too close to my meal.  I usually like to wait ten minutes. Then I take my metformin.

One thing I do miss is having a glass of wine.  Alcohol is a definite no-no with the meds I’m on.

Last week, though, when I started feeling shaky, I took my blood sugar and it was 166.  I believe that my body has been at such a high blood sugar level for so long, it wasn’t used to it being so low.  That’s just my thought and I’m not a doctor, just a lowly medical assistant who works for a major health insurance company. (Can’t say, clowns will eat me.)

Simpsons Sunday will be posted later today. I just wanted to give my friends an update on how I was dealing with my diabetes. (Still seems weird to type that.)
