holy low blood sugar, batman! 33?!?!?!

Thursday night was the night from 'ell. I got out early to make the trains home, and missed the second one because the train sat and extra 5 minutes. I waited at 30th street station for Chris to pick me up, since the money and time to get home would've been the same. There were a ton of people waiting, and I was freezing (I'd left my fleece at the gates but decided not to go back to make this train by 30seconds).

Yesterday was a lot better! I had m appointment with Colette, which was good. It's been a long time since I've seen a nutritionist who didn't just try to make me feel like a fat pig. She was really nice. I'm on my way to a pump! After that I hit the blood lab, Sephora (which just opened on Walnut St...man am I in trouble), then on to the costume store where our real adventure begins.

Ryan had told me he had a surprise for me, and when he showed up at the store he had mini-him in tow. I'd been having a shitty feeling day in general (for no good reason other than I'd been manic all night and hadn't slept much), so the addition of a munchkin to my day brightened it exponentially. I'd had my eye on a particular costume (the theme for Samhain Ball being pirates) but the site apparently only tells you whats available at the NY store...so they did'nt have it. I searched the whole damned store and couldn't even find a decent substitute. I was thoroughly disappointed. Then I saw one hanging about 10ft in the air on a mannequin. After being told a couple times they could not take it down, Ryan took a persuasive crack at it. It took half an hour for them to actually get it, but low and behold....it was mine! And it fit perfectly! Not to mention..it was a medium! I've never fit into a medium anything made to look sexy. It fit like a glove, and I absolutely loved it.

This adventure, however, had us running late. Quick drop off microRyan, and I get dressed/primped in the car so we could make it in time. I must say, I looked good. I looked good until after dinner when I looked very sick. Something spiked my blood sugars high enough for my meter to simply read "high". Eek! By the time we got home I was staggering. Everyone just assumed I was drunk, since I'd had a few and we'd been dancing etc. No, I was high blood sugar drunk. Ugh! Needless to say at this point it was a long, barely sleeping night. I'd wake up feel sick get water, pee, try to sleep....wash, rinse, repeat...all damned night.

Now I'm up at 8am after the world's coldest shower (it's gonna be a long winter if we can't have hot water for more tan 2 minutes at a time) waiting for Geoff et al to cart me off to the Renn Faire in Maryland. It'll be a good time, I'm sure. I'm still feeling a bit ickly, but I'll survive.

Welp, they seem to be approaching.....Time for me to take my leave....Thanks for listening.

yesterday mike and i went to my friends ken and lauren's wedding. they were absolutely gorgeous. ive shot enough weddings to know that most brides and grooms may be happy on their wedding day, but there's still generally an aura of stress about them. not ken and lauren. they were absolutely ecstatic with each other. i wish them all the best. ive known these two for many many years. i met ken right before i moved here, and met her through him a few years later. i cant think of a better couple. the wedding itself was enchanting, and the dancing was great until i almost passed out on the dance floor. hah. luckily mike is very tall, and i did not fall on my face. i'm so happy for those two. they totally deserve each other. in a very good way.

tday was supposed to be my day of getting shit done, but after a somewhat tumultuous start it went downhill from there. i havent felt well since, and dinner only made it worse. i didnt get the dishes, laundry, or sorting done...but i DID get a shit ton of photos resized and edited. go me!

so thats hwo it's been. there's more, but small doses folks...small doses.
tomorrow i go to the doctor to discuss my blood work and begin my eval for an insulin pump. i'm very excited! wish me luck!

It all started Friday night. They assigned me mandatory OT for Saturday night, but my supervisor let me leave work half an hour early so I wouldn't have to worry about how I was getting home, and I caught the train to 30th street...where I waited for my train for 45 minutes before I gave up and called for help. Chris wanted to go out drinking with Chad, so I called Mike, who drove out and picked me up. We got stuck in some traffic, so I didn't get home until almost 2am. I got home, made my pie for the picnic, and went to bed.

Saturday morning we headed to the picnic at Ft Mifflin, which was a great time. We danced, ate, laughed, and toured the fort...before I had to go to work. After work I spent a little time learning to play Texas Hold 'Em before bed....and an earlier than I would've liked wake up this morning....

This morning we set out to Mt Hope to the PA Renn Faire. It was a really nice day! I have a couple pictures of my latest outfit...it's one I bought when Cat and I went to the MD faire a couple years ago, and since I lost weight it looks a LOT better on me...but I've grown two cup sizes since then...so it was a bit of a risky move there for a while. I was nervous I'd fall right out of it. I bought myself a new belly bell chain with stars and moons on it. We were there for a LONG time, and I'm exhausted...but it was a great day.....Man, I'm sleepy..pictures later...

I went back to Chicago for a few days last week. I miss that kid like crazy. I hate leaving him. I dragged him into a photobooth with me. Heh. It was pretty interesting. He didn't hate it, so we'll have to keep trying.

I need a new form of stress relief. Yesterday I took myself bowling and then to a dance class downtown. I think I;m going o try to keep doing at least the class on one of my days off. I need physical activity that isn't work related. I need something.

Man work makes me boring...hopefully I have something more to say later. Thanks for stickin around and reading...if you still do..even if I'm in a slump....there will be more interesting readings soon (I hope).
