Frank knows I sleep with other people

This post may be a little challenging to make interesting without making me sound insane-- I'll take that challenge

Like many children I slept with various dolls and stuffed animals

Now I recall telling about how I see my numbers and how I group utensils into families as I wash them so actually this is pretty tame comparatively speaking

I still sleep with dolls and stuffed animals
Not as many as when I was a child-- only 8 for now

I haven't always done this as an adult-- I think it started about 6 or 7 years ago

They are cozily huddled in between Frank and my pillows

Frank hardly ever complains about them-- there was a time when he would purposely hide "santa" but no more--- guess it wasn't so funny when I would wake up to check if they were all there -- not feeling santa- I would naturally have to turn on the light and search!

I think the video I'm going to share was before "carty fish" joined us- he was my son Carter's special friend

For those of you that read my blog today hoping to find a much different content- shame on you 😉

Write what you know?

I just ate my fluffy waffles-- I know I probably shouldn't eat them but I did drastically cut down on the butter or actually margarine

This stupid diabetes 2 is breaking my spirit a bit- seems I'm putting on a few pounds- now mind you I was eating pretty much whatever I wanted before I went back on diabetes meds - and was continuing to lose weight

I hear you - I'm not dumb i realize the untreated illness was eating away my body- believe me I understand diet- diabetes and nutrition-- oh I guess that does make me dumb

I'm trying- I really am- and I do feel better in some ways -- my sincere hope is to at least get off insulin- just take pills

I am dreading with a passion my next Dr appt- honestly I didn't particularly like him but I will try to deal with him for the moment- gee I hope he doesn't read my blog

I am convinced that the meds are making me gain weight - although I have heard that is not true- the insulin definitely makes you hungrier- I hear about a few other diabetes meds that offer the vague promise of weight loss but the side effects are way too scary for me

Oh and yes this blog was about diabetes and my attempt at this writing thing again after my 3 year absence-- not the best material-- but hey- I do believe in that writing what you know thing --

Just wish this part of my life I had never made it's acquaintance-

Ready set...write!

I hate snow!!
They are calling for the cold mess this weekend
I'm becoming more and more of a warm weather fan-- only liking the brisk days of autumn - and the moderate cold days that lead up to Christmas

I don't much care for February either and I could do without March or April really-- and maybe August -- haha I know -- so far this blog is ground breaking huh
No the truth is I went to my blog and accidently hit the new post thingy-- so being the lazy writer I am-- I said to myself- why not- there's gotta be something I have to say

I just ate some egg beaters Robyn made for me -- since I've been gone from the blogging world - actually a couple of months ago-- I had to restart treating my type 2 diabetes-- on insulin and pills

So the eggs are a pretty good choice for me
After the hospital stay that started all this business again-- Robyn was like a drill sergeant-- making me eat stuff like cauliflower rice and mash- zucchini noodles and other horrible concoctions

Don't get me wrong-- I appreciate the care she and my husband have given me and the stern words from my sons but for someone who loves vegetables-- I'm almost gagging remembering some of these dishes

Now mind you this particular blog is not about snow or diabetes but more of my "carpe diem" kinda thing -- on the new blog-- okay write

Battle

Refreshing alive- simply dashing about and screaming a little inside-- actually screaming a lot

Unending ragged-- torn from top to middle and waving like a tattered flag

Such is now and again was tomorrow

Grasping for an air bubble or resigning to the peace-- all the while the howling wind relentlessly laughs at our stance

Gloriously avoiding each broken piece beneath our feet - we forget

Hello it's me, haven't I used that before?

Hey there- something hit me this morning- it felt like maybe I should blog again- what has it been- a couple of years

It might have been about the great purchases at Target yesterday- I don't know

I found some really pretty flowers - I think I've decided to use them now instead of saving them for next Christmas-- they don't exactly scream Christmas anyway

I kinda already miss Christmas-- I feel a little of the let down-- still trying my best to not hate winter--

I do feel a sense of accomplishment from this Christmas season-- we were able to host my husband's family and then my side-- not to mention our immediate family Christmas night thing

I find myself holding my breath a lot during the holidays -- hoping all stay well-- and just an extra dose of my worrying

I truly think I need to prepare for Christmas - at least in my head-- say somewhere around August

As much as I get into Christmas-- it surprises people to know I can leave almost all my previous decorations nestled not so neatly in their boxes in our attic

Yes- probably partly because it allows me to shop around- finding cute inexpensive knick knacks

Well I may be back around soon-- peace to you all and happy New Year
