Diabetes, puzzles and other stuff
I have been so lazy. I am going through some change in my diabetes again. All my energy is gone and all I want to do is sleep. My BG numbers are still pretty good but my after eating numbers are coming down slower. Not good. Since I don't see my doctor until next month and he told me to up my metformin if I thought I needed it, I am now trying to evaluate my numbers and see if this is a blip or another change. But since I am feeling so lazy, I haven't brought my meter upstairs and downloaded my stats into the puter. Duh, I know. Can't graph my numbers if I don't do that. Well, I could but it would involve lots of paper all over the dining room table and Tom is already less than thrilled with the puzzle that is in residence right now.
I am seriously addicted to puzzles of all sorts. Well, not sudoku. That involves math and numbers and that is one of the reasons I got a computer in the first place. There is this math sized blank spot in my brain. Anyway, I love jigsaw puzzles most of all, logic puzzles close second. And while rooting around hunting wrapping paper for Christmas, I ran across my stash of puzzles. Naturally I had to get one out and since the only decent (well, actually the only) table is the one in the dining room, that is where the puzzle is.
I have a great husband who genially tolerates my computer fixation and game playing. But having his bowl of soup tilting to one side because there is a puzzle piece underneath is a bit much even for him. hehe
He used to set up a TV tray and eat in front of the tube but had to stop because it gave the dogs a full view of his plate. They would spread out in front of him ( between him and the tv) and our boxer would drool and drool. You have never seen dog drool until you have seen a boxer yearning after hamburger.
Well, here I am writing a book again. It is about midnight and everyone but me is asleep. Have I ever mentioned that I have insomnia? Yep, most of my adult life. When it is most active, I stagger through my days and fidget all night if I am in bed. So I come in here and play cards or track down my ancestors and eventually I can go back to bed.

I too have a blank spot in my head for math. I despise working with numbers. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up. But puzzles? I LOVE puzzles. I remember working on a puzzle when I was pregnant and finishing it up before hubby got home. He was so upset because he wanted to finish it with me! For this reason we haven't worked on a puzzle since! Well that and the lack of workspace to spread one out.
