it's still hot enough to melt a canuk here on the southern plains, but 70 something degrees at night has me reaching for my sweaters. fall is a great time of year here. summer is the dormant season here and the entire ecosystem is waking up from its summer slumber.

big sis needed new clothes and i felt guilty buying so much for her and nothing for little sis, so i bought her a halloween costume she could put on our wee pooch. score one for the gaminator. big sis was envious, even with her new clothes haul. new clothes for big sis to try on is the only thing that saved our wee pooch from getting trapped in the middle of a sister fight.

Thanks for the Cici update, SC. As you know, I'm over the moon about my pooch Bonita. So glad you've got your furry friends to take on walks, too.

Its been rough today. I woke up in severe back pain and hips with it going down my legs as well as a massive migraine with neck pain along with it. I spent a lot of the day in bed, was afternoon before i was able to eat anything more than some watermelon. At least watermelon is not horrible on my blood sugars and its hydrating! I am going to do a liquid IV in the morning. I am on clindamycin for a gum infection which the pain is almost gone since the third dose and my blood sugars for the first time in weeks have been mainly in teh 100s today, upper 100s but ill take it! I been near 400 for weeks now. I was suppose to start ozempic today on top of my 5 insulin shots a day (some days 6, i go thru 10 lispro (fast acting) pens a montha nd 13 Lantus (long acting insulin) a month. I was on victoza but it stopped helping me much so first we tried mounjaro and it landed me in the ER so now ozempic but i decided i feel safer starting it Sunday morning when my fiance is off that day in case of a reaction! I do have a lot of drug allergies!

I did stay up later than normal tonight because my fiance was at my moms up the hill (we live on the same property) Cutting the grass in side her dog fences. She has what looks like one huge fence (its about an acre fenced in) but its divided into two parts. That way if one side has something going on the dogs can safefly go in the other side .She has 5 dogs, including the mom to my two 9 month old puppies and my 12 year old is the aunt to all 3 generarations mom has.

Please pray for my mom, she has had a rough time since Dad passed and Nov 3rd will be 3 years. She will be starting to see a new thearpist but not for a couple weeks,, it is a therapist i had about 15 years ago and she is amazing and so easy to talk too, she used to work at CMH now shes moved up :) I am grateful my mom will be seeing her! My therapist has ghosted me for over 3 months. I Finally put in 2 weeks ago ffor a new therapist which scares me ,i am also very nervous around med i dont know. Well they have one female therapist available and one male. My DBT therapist i had who was promoted to a step down from CEO of CMH had my case manager tell me she thinks iit would be a bad personality clash between me and the female therapist htey have right now but its up to me who i want to try. Makes me very nervous to work with a man but i have heard good things about him. It scares me a lot though! Praying it goes well when i meet him! My old therapist that said i would clash with the female does know me well she worked with me when i was still suicidal which was in 2016/ and start of 2017. She became my therapist after coming to the ER to talk to me and she was the first person that came from mental health (i was in teh er 9 times suicidal before admited) that i just broke down in front of and really talked too so they set me up with her. I will always be grateful for how far she got me! It was so hard but its the best thing for me! I wish they still had DBT and peer support there! Alsop lease keep me in your prayers for my pain levels they have been bad since Sunday when i went to the AA party.
