Diabetes updates and book club

My Cat is doing great, blood sugars are in the normal range, once again the active volleyball girl:) I'm still not sleeping well at night, listening for the same things I did when all my babies were babies and so, I let myself get sicker by not taking the stuff that made me sleepy at night. So I missed the final educational visit at the Peoria hospital because I went to my doc.......sinus infection, ear infection, asthmatic bronchitis, same old WINTER stuff I get every year, but, hello, it's JUNE! My winter bout was ugly, couldn't get my steroid shots because I was going in for tests for my carpal tunnel. Guess my traitorous body was missing it or something....ugh!

A little more info than you'd probably like: I don't watch movies that I know will make me cry anymore. To quote my friend Deanna, "I just want to laugh." Well, not just laugh....I love Bruce Willis in the Die Hards and the NCIS kinda thing. Action, but usually the people who die you don't care about. That means no James Patterson, won't even read his books anymore. NEVER AGAIN. Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas damn near killed me. As for what I love to read: give me Suz Brockmann, J. R. Ward, Sherilyn Kenyon, Christine Feehan (paranormal, hot romance, vamps, Troubleshooters, Dark Hunters and, last but never least, SEALS!!!) But, sadly, I haven't really read in quite a while. I'm usually knitting, or lately, scrapping:) Just finishing up a new baby dress and socks:) I'm forever knitting socks.

So, with the new diabetes issues, I have reaquainted myself with my local library, where the goddessess of literature reside: Dawnette, Penny and Denise. Penny directs me to the new book club, on Thursdays in the morning, that works for me, so I sign up. Book: Comfort Food by Kate Jacobs, the bestselling author of The Friday Night Knitting Club. (My knitting club meets Mondays, Thursdays, and some Saturdays:) So, I grab up that book. Sorta like reading Debbie Macomber's The Shop on Blossom Street. But, I get wrapped up in the characters and Ms. Jacobs makes me cry. Please folks, I just want happy endings. Can't they put tear drops in the corner of the cover so I won't get that book!! Now I don't want to read the book club book, afraid of what lies between the pages.

Fortunately, I get to put it off for tonight, because Procrastinators Anonymous (also known as that part of my brain that constantly beats me up to remember what it is I'm forgetting as I suffer from CRS) called to remind me that my entry into my SU Demonstrator's contest is due tomorrow and I still haven't done it, and I have to distress the edges of my papers for my stamp class on Sunday. Maybe tomorrow will be nice and I'll get a good photo of my spread to post! Because, once again, all it's doing here is raining. YUK!
