Tis the Season

Tis the Season!

OK, so it's xmas eve and I'm feeling lonely; it's just me, the cats, and some pretty good movies on TV.

But I've actually had a good xmas; friends visited early in the month bringing lots of goodies, both things I needed, and some toys too! Then I finally got the new living room furniture (Ikea) that I wanted (needed!), it will be delivered Tuesday, exchanged small gifts w/a couple of friends, saw one of my grandsons yesterday (the 17 year old), and I haven't needed surgery or been ill lately!

And I have made plans for tomorrow, I learned long ago that the secret to living alone is to plan activities, even if they are 'alone' activities. Tomorrow I'll fix my diabetic feast, go to the Fomasa Slough to bird watch, call (long distance) two old relatives in MO. And if I have the energy, repot the little xmas tree I purchased this year and get it out on the patio where it will be happier! So a full, and pleasant, day.

Writing? I've been taking a little time off. One of those 'waiting to exhale' kinda things. Stuff in the works, but it won't really come to fruitation till after the first of the new year - then I'll have to put some hours in, there's much stuff I could do in preparation, but am just being a slacker for awhile, and enjoying it!

Blog? You can see for yourself that I’ve been slacking. I promise to do better next year!

Byetta? It's finally smoothing out on the 5 mcg pen twice a day. Nausea is now rare and mild. Still am losing weight slowly and blood sugars ARE better (been slacking on that too). I may never be able to go back to the higher dose, but only time will tell.

I wish everyone a peace and joy this Holiday Season...
