Home Sweet…. Second Home? I just got back home last night from my real home of Pennsylvania.  I am exhausted and tired and there is so much to get done today that I just don’t think that I will get it all done.  It is great to go on vacation and see family members and all that fun stuff, but when you come back, the first day sucks because of the to-do list.  I usually fly back on a Sunday, but this time I decided to do the Saturday flight thing so I can have all day today to get everything done that I have to do. One thing that I have to do is make a list of all the supplies...

Wow. Let’s first start with me by saying Happy Thanksgiving. I am back up north for the holiday and when I woke up this morning I thought I was still dreaming. Why may you ask? Because it is snowing like freaking crazy. Are you kidding me? If it doesn’t snow on Christmas and only on Thanksgiving then I am going to be pissed. I would rather it snow then instead of now. Well, anyway.  I know everybody wants to go eat and spend time with their family and not read a long post by me. So, Happy Thanksgiving all. Bookmark It Hide Sites

Planning for the holidays used to be easy when I was in high school.  Eat as much food as I possibly can, go to basketball practice the next morning and work it all off and then have the first basketball game of the season with a tournament on Black Friday night and then a Saturday night game as well.  This is how my life was back then.  Now it is totally different, in more than just one way.  I’ll save the diabetes part of it for later. First, I live in south Florida now, but my whole family still lives back up north in Pennsylvania.  Amanda and I try to make it even by spending...

My COBRA coverage runs out November 1.  Normally I would be concerned and upset about this, but, my new insurance kicks in on November 1, so it’s all good.  I have now been with my new company for officially 90 days, so health insurance kicks in at the beginning of the following month, which would be November.  I am excited about this because it is a better plan than I had before and it also includes vision and dental which I did not have at my former employer because they were cheap asses. I can’t wait to get new contacts, glasses, dental appointment, re-order my testing...

Another late night post, sorry ya’ll.  I will be going away this weekend to Busch Gardens in Tampa.  I am very excited because I haven’t been to Busch Gardens in almost 15 years.  The last time I went, it was the one in Virginia though and I don’t remember too much about it.  I am leaving as soon as I get out of work tomorrow night and I haven’t even packed for the trip yet. Well, I promised some new announcements on October 1, but I wasn’t able to get online to post anything and majority of the items have been pushed back, but I will still announce them and...

Achieving something does not happen automatically.  In order to get to the end, you have to follow a certain path.  There is no written path, well there can be, but I choose to create my own path, thanks to Robert Frost in fifth grade.  Small steps are needed to reach a larger achievement.  This is for anything in life, but since this is the Life of a Diabetic, lets relate it to my diabetes. This food that I am about to eat, is it going to help my overall goal of losing weight and lowering my A1c?  Will testing my sugar before I eat instead of just guessing what it is, or just inputting...
