Today did not start off very well. I had a bad sugar low at 6 am. I woke up kinda disoriented, wondering what in the hell woke me up. I went to the bathroom, came back to bed, but something wasn't right. It finally dawned on me - better check my blood - so I came out to the living room and did so. It was 51. 51! Not good at all. Really on the edge of kinda disastrous...so I got my jelly beans, went back to bed and read for a bit while popping jelly beans. After a few minutes, I turned the light off and went back to sleep.
On Thursdays, I walk the Bethel Walk Path with Lois, so when the alarm went off, I hit snooze and dozed again. When it went off again, I sat up to get up (glasses on, and start the pill-taking routine), but I was so weak, I knew that there was NO WAY that I was going to be able to walk this morning. Bummer! So, I came out here, got the phone and called Lois and let her know that it just wasn't going to happen today, that I was just still too weak. Then I went back to bed and slept til noon.
When I got up, I felt fine. I usually do, it just takes a little bit of time for the 'wringed-out washrag' feeling/weakness to go away. But, this morning, I slept it away, and so all is good. Hooray.
Then I played on the computer for a couple of hours, catching up my games. For my lunch, I had the rest of the green beans from the other day. I thought Ron had finished the pan of them for supper the other night, but after he had gone to bed, I had discovered that there was still some left. So, I put them back in the fridge. Now I know for sure they are all gone! I had those and a banana. Then back on the computer between doing a couple loads of laundry. Our dryer is not working properly - we think the element is going out - it takes four go-rounds to dry a load of stuff (today, it was towels).
So, in the end, I got no exercise at all today. I just didn't make myself get up and do anything.
Ron got home at quarter til five (how about that) and we decided on frozen entrees for our supper. While he was checking out my car - Josh and Michelle are taking it tomorrow for their anniversary run-away - and taking his shower, I got our meals nuked and my tomatoes cut up. Since he did not need to wash work clothes, I went ahead and put a load of jeans in, once the towels were dry. They are still in the dryer, but this go-round should be the last one. If not, I will be up because my FOOTBALL started tonight, and was lightning delayed by almost an hour. Good thing I don't have to get up in the morning anymore!
FOOTBALL!!!! I AM HAPPY. MY SUNDAYS ARE TAKEN, NOW THROUGH JANUARY!!!
Well, all but two. My and Ron's run-away weekend in September and the weekend I go to Gatlinburg with my friend Teresa and all her sisters. (GGG - Girl's Gatlinburg Getaway) in November. But that's okay - Josh will send me updates, and I will get home both Sundays in time for the night game.
Today gets five stars for food - I was way under on calories today - and zero stars for exercise.
wonder what caused the sugar low.
ReplyDeleteOn another note -- I woke up abruptly shortly after 6 this morning. Never did figure out what caused that. Almost called Tam to see if she was okay -- she has a cold that is kicking her ass. (She was sent home from work, and went!)
Anyway, now I have something else to worry about!
