This and That
I'm still happy about my A1C test, but there are other results that worry me a little bit. My insulin and cholesterol was high and I have a vitamin D deficency. The cholesterol and insulin is a one time thing because of when the tests were taken. I made the appointment for the doctor's visit at 8 in the morning and the appointment was at 10:30 the same morning. I eat my supper when I come home, but didn't eat untill I made the appointment. The supper was leftover pizza that would raise the insulin and cholesterol number. The vitamin D problem is a surprise. But then, I'm seldom out in the sun. I go to work in the early evening and come home in the early morning. Not much sun at those times. Once home, I stay in the house. There's no reason to go outside except to let Foxy out. So the doctor has me on a vitamin D supplement. She want's to see me again in 2 or 3 months unless something happens. Still worried about the trip. There are so many things to think about and do. I've never been on a vacation where I've stayed a week away from home. I worry about what will happen to the house while I'm gone. I've got to get another timer. I'll put a lamp in the living room and in the bedroom on timers that will turn them on and off at odd times. The 3rd timer will be for the air conditioner in the living room. I'm afraid without the air conditioner it'll get too hot and maybe overheat the refrigerator. I've got to get the baggage tags written,,,,the I.D. lists for inside the baggage,,m,and the emergency list for the vet. And there are other things. Getting really nervous.

Wal mart has round wooden dals which can be cut and placed in windows as a window block :) and you may are may not opt to place 2 slide bars on your bk are side door. Place one near the top and other on oppset side near the bottom :)
If you have window ac you should set it on inside floor and shut n lock that window. bad people look for such easy access.

I\'m not suppose to get a lot of sunlight because of 2 of my meds. However, I\'m a nature girl so it\'s hard for me to stay inside. My best friend has the seasonal depression. The doctor recommends sun lamps. She hasn\'t bought one yet, but you might check on those. Maybe that could help.
