How's everyone on this Friday Eve?
Re: Prudie Day
Had an eventful morning before work, phew. DDs spring concert and art show last night were really nice. This evening one of the kids is being honored at our district Board meeting. Which means another night with an event that starts at 7pm, but like last night, for a nice reason.
I learned that this time next week it's AP Testing so I need to put THAT on our calendars because there's a class Chiquita will be taking.
DH fixed our washing machine and I went to Chiquito's baseball game. They did great and won and I'm pretty pleased with the group. I've got more standard work for today and tomorrow night Chiquito moves up in Scouts which should be pretty exciting.
DH had an ED follow-up with his primary this week and was put back on antibiotics for another round. His lungs still sounded off. He finished in-home PT and OT this week and will have a dismissal visit with a nurse today. I have a check in with my primary tomorrow and will bring up some recurring back pain I've been having, It's likely arthritis but best to get it checked out. Had my A1c this week and it was 5.6 and I'm thrilled.
I have to work a virtual training event on Saturday, so I may flex some time. We are having family over for Mother's Day and will grill out. Folks are bringing things, so it'll be easier since my Saturday is full. I'm also leading worship on Sunday.
The weather has been beautiful this week. Last weekend, I tilled up a new spot along the garage and then planted some hydrangea bushes a friend was thinning out. I planted a bunch of tulip bulbs last fall and none came up so I contacted the company. They have a lifetime guarantee so they will be sending me another batch in late summer to try again.
A friend and I are going to see Sinners on Saturday. I'm excited about the movie. I wish I could watch it in IMAX, but I can't handle the volume levels in the theatre with IMAX. I always leave with my ears ringing.
Otherwise, SSDD. There's not a lot going on, just the moving stuff.
5.6 is a great a1c @MNNEBride, was it on the high side for you before?
@VarunaTT Sinners was good! I like Imax but I never go because the diva in me hates my local seat set up. They’re all close together and they’re not the reclining seats I’m accustomed to. I thought a new Annabelle came out today, but I don’t see it as an option on the page.
Our company provides us free lunch. Restaurants with our grubhub corporate account. It’s amazing and I don’t take it for granted. I have one restaurant I despise. Gia Mia if anyone has it? They cook with heavy oils or butters, and lots of it. The sauces are all heavy (mounjaro restricts such eating), the lettuce in the salad is yucky, and the “pizza’s” are just uncooked flatbreads.
I swear we order 2-3 times a month. And I think they choose it to piss me off. I’m not that picky, and can usually find something somewhere, but this place is just gross to me. It’s a local favorite so I know it’s an unpopular opinion. Anyway, there’s a coworker who has like 10 restaurants she won’t eat at and we never order from them when she’s in. Why me?
I don't remember what my A1c was when I was first diagnosed with T1, but my blood glucose was 868. I looked up what an A1c would be for that and apparently broke the internet, lol. Google told me 7.7, which is way off. I found an A1c calculator to get the real number of 31.87. To be fair, I know my BG wasn't that high for the whole three months prior to my first test.
But I was usually in the low 7s, sometimes higher, for the last 20 years. Since I started taking a GLP-1 medication about two years ago, I've always been in the 6s.
@CharmedPam, I'd be annoyed by that also! People who ban 10 restaurants need to be disappointed sometimes. Especially since you only have one ban and it isn't respected.
My Mounjaro (technically tirzepatide) doesn't complain anymore if I have oily or butter sauces in moderation. But that was one of the few things that made me a little queasy in the first few months.
but tbh, I don’t know much about what popes do and who they are and all that. I do know you need the pope’s - or catholic church - approval for an exorcism. Of course I come to the table with that knowledge.
@charlotte989875, I hope J gets better soon.
Quiet day for me. This week has been rainy and it was actually nice out during the day, but tonight the skies here in Houston opened up.
My synagogue has placed me and several other people in a chavurah, or friendship group. This is common in synagogues to help people make each other's acquaintance. Usually they'll try to group together people around the same ages with similar interests. I know one person in the group already but not the others. We are having our first meeting tomorrow night, after the Shabbat (Sabbath) service at the synagogue.
