I have come home three nights running and put a fan on, stretched out on the bed 'for ten minutes' and essentially crashed--no blogging, no notes, nothing useful at all--then sleeping until it's time to get up in the morning for work. Sunday night I slept for 12 hours, but I'd been awake for 18. I don't know what the deal with Monday and Tuesday were. Tonight, although I'm tired and my feet hurt, I'm sitting down at the computer and actually looking at news and blogging.
Sunday I went over to our gamemaster's house in the wee hours of the morning to prepare for the game. We're finally to the climax of the adventure--we're preparing to dive in a mini-sub to corner the cultist in an undersea temple of Cthulhu before he can bring his nefarious plans to fruition, thereby saving the world, and one of our own, too. Next week should be very stimulating. I got home at 8:30 and went straight to bed.
Monday I was very productive at work and then went to see my doctor. He's added another diabetes medicine, Avandia, to my regimen (I'm already on glipizide and Janumet, which is Januvia + metformin). I'm trying to eat more sensibly, check my blood sugar twice a day, and remember to take my second dose of Janumet in the evening. My blood sugar yesterday was about 190 each time, but that's a far cry from the 364 I was about three weeks ago. Today was the first day I took the Avandia, and I forgot to test in the afternoon, but I did remember to take the rest of my medicine. I am somewhat nervous about Avandia. I was on it before and then they came out with studies of heart trouble. But the studies since have been conflicting. I don't have any evidence of heart disease, so I guess it's alright.
After Dr Nesbitt's, I went to a friend's to deliver a birthday present and socialise. The present was 'Heroes' season 3. He's just like a cat--he was mesmerised by the shiny box. :) Next Monday is the 4th season premiere, yay! We visited for awhile and then I came home and got to bed about 10 pm. Monday I also got 'R.O.D. (Read or Die)' in the mail. It's an anime about a book lover who can manipulate paper and is part of a secret organisation. I've seen the first episode but I'm excited about seeing more.
On Tuesday I again had a productive day at work, then did some errands and went into work at the gas station about 1 1/2 hours early because someone called in. It was truck night, so I was pretty tired when I came home and went to bed about 10:30 pm.
Today, work at the hospital went really well. It's amazing how much I can get done when I get enough sleep. Then it was off to the gas station. It was pretty slow at times and the hours seemed to drag by. My ankles do alright for the first three hours or so, but then they get really sore and hard to stand on or walk. Today was payday at the store and we got our quarterly bonus, so that was nice. I think I'll use it to open up my savings account again.
That brings me up to now. I'm going to check the news and see what's going on.
