The Good The Bad & The Grumpy
Hey Everyone. Having trouble getting started here. Well here goes. Somehow some force is messing with my world today. If there's a gold medal for GRUMPY then it might as well be given to me. I so don't get where this is coming from. If I could I'd crawl into a hole so I didn't have to face the world or listen to it all. Totally not like me! I went to yoga this morning & during some breathing & meditation parts there was all this negative bits & pieces that wouldn't leave me alone.A girlfriend of mine phoned earlier & I let it go to the answering machine cause I just didn't want to go there.
Well enough said on that, right! How abt some good and/or better. My dizzy spells are pretty much gone, the odd sensation now & then but just abt out of here. I'm staying true to my promise to my dr abt not driving if my blood sugar is not over 5. One thing it has done is made me pay better attn to the natural flow of blood sugar levels. I left homme one morning to do groceries, checked it prior, it was a good modertely high number. Shopping took abt a bit over an hr & I checked it again & it had dropped a fair amt below the 5 mark. I could not believe how fast it did that. So darn it all it was THE PERFECT excuse for a cafe mocha with whipped cream & chocolate sprinkles fr the Starbucks in the store. LOL! Darn good medicine I tell ya.
You know, now that I've been away fr the cat shelter for abt a month and a half I can really feel that it was the right thing for me to do. It does feel like burden is lifted. I'm not jumping into any other volunteering right now as I feel I'll know when the right opportunity comes along.
I've been doing some purging and cleaning around the house. Got a lot of stuff to have picked up. It feels good though I tell you. But on a flip side it's made me feel very dissatisfied with our house in general. Somehow everything just seems so old & tired. It seriously needs a new lease on life. But the only thing that stands in the way is hubby. He either doesn't feel or see it or it's that part of him that feels unless it's actually crumbling why shd one have to change things around the house. At least I've decided I'm going to do some changing in my hideaway room upstairs. We always did agree that that room is mine, my domain & I've decided thats it this spring time to refresh it-paint, accessories, some furniture. There's a part of me that hopes that once hubby sees this it might help chane his mind. I know part of his thinking is that come a day where may e we'll have to move then it will be all new stuff. This could be like not happening till way far away. I've been trying to convince him that there's no reason why we can't think apartment size for the here & now & then it can all just move with us. It would be nice to be able to entertain, say have my family over for dinner once in a while. I really can't the way things are now cause the livingroom is just not, well not!
Oh Angel went for her yearly checkup & she's doing quite well. We have noticed that if we miss one morning of her digesgtive medicine then within a day and a half she will throw up. But on all other fronts her dr says she's doing quite well. She turns 13 in March & as she matures shes seems to be developing more DIVA attitude & she radiates this "OK does the world not revolve around me people"!
Well I guess thats abt it for now. Gotta come up with something for supper & my brain just doesn't seem to want to think abt it, oh well, it can be a surprise. Double cheeseburger & fries maybe, time will tell. Off I go.
Love you all my friends. I promise to be in a better mood after my dentist appt tomorrow morning.

Hi, sweet friend! It\'s okay to feel grumpy because if we didn\'t have our grumpy days, how would we know when the bright days are here? Or something like that. :) Hey, I think we have the same husband! Mine can\'t see when it\'s time for new stuff either. I think it is a \"man\" thing.
I\'m happy to hear that Angel did so good with her physical!
I hope your dental appt. goes well. I always dread those, but thankful when I\'m done.
Hugs and love and blessings to you, dear friend!!!
I had the same thing this week with ... happy, then suddenly very very grumpy and was like \"where did THAT come from?\" I tend to think that can be satan, working on us sometimes, or trying to anyway. I\'m glad you are getting more in tune with your blood sugar numbers. I hope it helps you in the long run and it does sound like a very good reason to have a special yummy drink! I feel the same about our house. Sometime paint and new pillows and curtains can make a huge difference, so I hope you get to do it. Yoga can surely remove a fog or dark cloud from us. But you aren\'t alone with these struggles, I have them too. hang in there!
Oh, I\'m getting here LATE...sorry! Grumpy? You\'re entitled, I love call display, I do the same - it\'s one of the few things in life that we can control :)... You\'re taking good control of your stressors and having stopped volunteering for awhile seems to be a very good idea. Coast into spring and see how you feel then perhaps? You\'ve got your own girl cave? That\'s EXCELLENT news! Mine is my craft cave, office, guestroom and it\'s small but nice to have as your own. Put in a good reading, snoozing chair too, some music, things that give you joy and tranquility!!!! Love that yoga is so good for you! Hugs
