Friday

I can't believe that tomorrow will be December 1st. It's been awhile since I blogged last. I guess you get so busy with your life that blogging everyday just isn't in the cards. I had a really good doctors visit yesterday.
My A1C was 7.9. My blood pressure was 120/84. My chloresteral was 110. And as of yesterday I have lost 33 pounds. So I was happy.
Diabetes is so hard to manage. I mean you literally have to watch everything you put in your mouth. Plus worrying about how much exercise you get, sleep and your overall well being.
Just loosing that much weight is a milestone. Being on insulin makes it harder to loose weight. My goal is to loose enough weight so I don't have to inject anymore. I would love just to take oral medications.
So I figured it out. I would have to loose just about 90 pounds in order not to inject anymore. Maybe it would be less than that, I don't know.
But regardless, I'll have to loose a lot more.
I have been sleeping well so far. No more insomnia. Well at least not right now. I always seem to have periods in time where I don't sleep. It's always been like that. As far as I can remember.
So, all in all my health is OK for now.

Friday

Well, well, well. This neighbor of mine has finally flown the coop. She called the police on another neighbor for feeding her cat. I know that doesn't make much sense. But here it is. She's a person who is renting her condo who has all of these pets. She has two cats that just roam around the complex [which I might add is not allowed] and she has a couple of dogs which she just lets loose to do their business. They are never on a leash. Which living here you have to have your dogs on a leash at all times.
Anyway, she's had a "tough time" lately supposively. She's a self proclaimed recovering alcoholic. She's been going around to different neighbors asking for beer and asking for depression medication. [ which is illegal] Anyway, she has these two cats which are always looking for food.
My next door neighbors started taking in one of the cats and feeding him.
In one of her fits, this woman called the police after the neighbors feeding her cat. She not only did that, she filed a complaint with the police office too. So everyone are walking on egg shells here because we don't know what she's going to do next.
She even yelled at me one day. I was enjoying my coffee out on my patio one morning and she was yelling at some guy out in the parking lot. She turned around and yelled "what the hell are you looking at" to me. She then started walking towards me and I hightailed it in my house. I thought she was going to beat me up or something.
So, what do we do? File a complaint with the management? WHo knows?

Today

Well, I can't believe it's November. This year has just flown by. I just got home from working out. I'm hoping that this is going to pay off in a couple of months. I've been at this gym for about a month now. Well it will be a month after this week.
I took a drive the other day to see all of the trees colors. It's so colorful this time of year. Oh and the weather. A bit cool right now, but not so bad. My neighbors have already decorated for Christmas. I think anytime before Thanksgiving is too early to decorate. But I guess it's the time of year for that.
My best friend who has that kidney disease has been quite sick lately. She keeps catching things real easily. She's now dialyzing at home now so hopefully she'll strengthen her immune system. My parents went through their clothes and found a lot of garments for my friends for winter. Hey if it's free thats the best.
Cause this is also the time to give to those who need it. Thats what I try to do by volunteering. Even if I can't give money, I can at least give my time.
Well gotta go, but I will be touching base with you soon.
