I'm going to the doctor on Wednesday to talk about my blood sugar. For the last week, my lips have felt numb quite often and I've read that that's a sign of low blood sugar. I also have been pretty thirsty. I've checked my own blood sugar and its been okay, so I'm not really worried. I think I'm going to have to adjust my diet to working out. More protein before and after working out and more water, too.
As far as my Topomax is concerned, all is well. No side effects that I can see, lately. I am not easily upset as I once might have been. In fact, at the gym today, someone next to me admonished me for using my cell phone, pointing at a sign that says no cell phones. I just said okay and said I had to go and hung up. Eh, no biggie! I'd never seen that sign before. Usually, I'm texting when I am no the treadmill to keep up morale and such. That's okay, still. At any rate, the weight might not come off as easily as it might because of the Zyprexa AND it might be causing any blood sugar issues, we shall see. Zyprexa is pretty evil that way. Thank goodness its not at that double dose like it was for a while!
Christmas went well. The kids were happy with their gifts. A friend of mine came over in the morning to spend the day with us. We ordered pizza for dinner and just hung out with a fire on. It was very nice. The DVD I ordered of the barbershop quartet competition that I was worried about for Noah turned out to be quite nice and showed up in plenty of time, so no need to worry. :) All-in-all, all the planning and work and money spent was well worth it.
I would like to take the kids out for an other photo session sometime soon. Where and when are the questions. It gets dark soon still these days. We have also been so many places that its hard to think of a place we haven't been that they'll want to go. Heck- I'll take a place they just want to go that we can take pictures! Last time we did any real photos we this past summer in August.
I am ready for a nap. Five o'clock is evil that way. So is four o'clock, but mostly five. Its nearly dark, AND I'm sore from today. One good thing is that I've been watching "Are You Being Served?" with Noah on DVD over vacation. He really likes it! We have a boxed set, but got some of the later ones that I don't have from the library. Its been fun sharing that with him. You wouldn't think that someone that's 11 would like a show that was made in the 1970s and early 80's in England about a department store!
Relationship-wise, I'm enjoying finding what I want in each one. Its freeing!
I saw my therapist several days ago. That was productive, as usual. But not always easy! Then coming up soon, I see my psych dr/nurse practitioner.
All for now! Sorry its not creative and such. Maybe next time.
Sounds like you're doing great! That makes me happy. :-)
