Life of a Diabetic Has Been Busy

The life of this diabetic has been crazy busy over the last few days.  This new work schedule is finely starting to feel normal, and I must admit, I actually like the schedule.  Let’s take a look at how my new day goes:

7:00 a.m. – Alarm goes off

7:15 a.m. – I actually wake up

7:15 a.m. [...]

What is a Normal Life with Diabetes

The other day somebody was talking to me about my blog and I mentioned that it’s a blog about how I live normally with diabetes.  They then asked me, what does that mean?  What does living normally with diabetes mean?  Well, I had never been asked that question before, but I thought about it and [...]

Ever Feel Like You Are Always Falling Behind?

Do you ever get the feeling that no matter how hard you are working or how much effort you are putting into something that you are just always falling behind?  I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way.  Sometimes I just feel that I can never catch up.  No matter what it [...]

Vacation Over Means Back to Blogging

What is this thing called a WordPress dashboard that I just logged into?  Luckily my password was saved in Firefox or I may have not remembered what the password was.  Hello everybody again.  It has been a while since my last blog post and that was a decision that I made several weeks ago.  I [...]

Life of a Diabetic Weekend Recap Vol 4

Man did this weekend fly by or what!  I don’t think that I got a single thing accomplished at all.  Friday started out with some high blood sugars during the day and some stress.  That’s why there was no Fired Up Friday last week.  I test drove a Ford Edge on Thursday night and fell [...]

Why There Will Never Be a Cure

This is a conversation that I had today at lunched.  Now, some of you may agree and some of you will disagree, strongly.  The discussion was brought up about the $100 million Obama is going to send to the care of Haiti.  The question was posed to me, “Doesn’t that piss you off that they [...]

It Feels Good to Feel Normal Again

Wow, this may be the first time all month that I have blogged in two consecutive days.  It is cold down here in south Florida, about 50 degrees.  I know that is nothing compared to the northeast where I am from, and where I am going next week, but for being down here, it is [...]

Long Days, Late Nights, No Sleep

Last week was filled with a lot of work, I mean a lot of work for me.  I have been working on continuing to re-design this blog because to me it just doesn’t seem right.  Is it easy for you to read, anything distracting you, or fonts too difficult to read?  Along with that blog [...]
