Back From Daytona – Back to Work

Posted by Chris on Feb 16, 2010 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

I am back from Daytona after a really long weekend. You have not seen me on Twitter, Facebook, or blogging much and there is a reason. I just have honestly not had enough time to be on there. I have been more busy these past few weeks then I have ever been in my life. The worst part is that I don’t even know what the heck I have been doing that is making me that busy. The main thing is that I have been sick, so I haven’t been staying up late because I just don’t have the energy to do it. 3 day weekend in Daytona took up a lot of time as well. I am working longer hours on-site so I don’t really have much access to Twitter and blogging while there. I use my phone from time to time to check what others are saying, but find it hard to actually type up a Tweet.

Onto some more important things. I am running out of testing strips. I have about 25 Freestyle Lite strips left, which are my favorite, and I have about 200 TrueTest or TrueRead, or True something, I don’t even know. Whichever of the Home Diagnostic’s True brand goes with the True2Go. I like that meter, but not as a primary meter because it doesn’t have all of the other features in the Freestyle Lite that I like. Like I said before, I love the Contour USB, but the strips are just too expensive for me to continue to use it. I am grateful and happy that Bayer was kind enough to send a sample to me to try out. I still haven’t gotten to that blog post yet either, but that was more or less technical difficulties. I couldn’t get the graphs to work, it was taking too long on my computer at the time, and never got back to it.

Normally, in times like this I take a weekend to sit down and plan out everything that I need to do for the next couple weeks to get caught up and then also get ahead. This past weekend I couldn’t, this upcoming weekend I will be attending WordCamp Miami all day Saturday. Friday and Saturday night will give me some time to get caught up on things. Also, the only thing on this Sunday is the race, so I can do work during that. I just can’t get too far behind or else I am going to be screwed. One of the main things that I have on my to do list this week is to figure out my whole supply situation and when I am going to refill and also what brand of strips I want to use. To be blunt about it, I am going to use whichever brand I can easily get to that costs me the least amount of money. Over the years I have used just about every single meter that is out there and they all basically do the same exact thing.

Overall, I am feeling better. My right ear is still clogged and not even the Neti Pot is working now. I am scared that I am permenately deaf out of that ear because I don’t get the pressure feeling in there that I was getting before. From time to time I do feel it trying to unclog itself, so that is the only thing that is giving me a positive outlook on it. Well, enough of this post, it is time to go to bed. I am typing this Monday night and posting it Tuesday morning.

Have a great day.
