JillyT's Journal

It's 3:30 am right now and I'm fighting sleep. I don't know why I do that but sometimes I just don't want to go to bed, lol and I know that I'm not gonna miss anything in the middle of the night. Ah well, I'm watching Two and a half men on DVD and trying not to make any noise because hubby is snoring next to me and doesn't like ot be wakened.

I'm feeling okay, been having a couple of headaches...not too bad but not good either. I've stopped drinking soda. I think I mentioned that my blood sugar was 133 while fasting so my doc wants me to try a diabetes diet to see if I can get my numbers down - she doesn't want to have to put me on another med, lol - I'm already on most drugs now! Okay maybe I exagerate a little. I really don't want to change my diet, food is really the only fun thing I have. Oh well, I guess it's time to grow up and do what I have to instead of what I want to, blich!

I went out with Kristen and a friend of hers; we went to cheesecake factory for lunch. I had a chinese chicken salad and then we went to Barnes and Noble. I didn't look too long but I didn't find anything I had to have. After we got home we sat around the dining room table and looked at some tarot cards - Kris' friend Trina bought a new deck. My mom used to read tarot cards and I've dabbled off and on over the years. I think one of the reason I like to do readings is that it reminds me of my mom - I really miss her. She passed in '93, 16 years ago and I still miss her. Mom was 37 when she had me so it was a fair bet that she would pass long before I'd be ready - of course who is ever ready for this event?

I've also been making afghans and that reminds me of my mom too. Everyone in the family had one of mom's granny square afghans, unfortunately they didn't last forever. I remember as a kid each of us three kids had a quilt made by my grandmother and great grandmother. I used it on my bed every night until it got threadbare and couldn't hold up to be washed anymore. The only finished quilt I ever made was a crib size one that I made for Allison when I was pregnant with her, but we lost that in the fire - our building caught on fire in '85, no one was hurt but we really lost some important stuff that just couldn't be replaced.

Well enough daydreaming for me, time to get to sleep. I hope you all are having a lovely weekend. I'm going over to Allison's today to help finish Ashley's costume and of course to watch the football game - although the bears are dissapointing...take care, hugs jilly
