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 cold. But it is a good cold, not a bad cold. What do I mean by that? It is nice to sit outside, exactly what I am doing right now. I am sitting out back at Amanda’s house in a screened in patio typing up a blog. I am away from Monday Night Football, away from the Panthers hockey game (which is taping, so I haven’t escaped it completely), and just relaxing in the nice outdoors of her 1 acre lot (for those of you who live in south Florida, you know the annoying condo / highway life that exists everywhere else).

Today was a long day at work as well. It was tough and hard on my brain because I was doing things that I don’t think I ever did before in Excel. As a consultant, I am open to doing pretty much whatever is needed by somebody, you have a question and if I have the answer, I do it. Right now I am doing data analysis for Volvo Aero Service (pretty much sell jet engines and parts.) There are a lot of parts and a lot of numbers that go along with jet engines, so it can be a little stressful getting the numbers into the correct places.

How has this affected my diabetes? Not bad at all. I have gotten back into a normal way of life, working 8:30-5:30, eating lunch at the same time, eating dinner at the same time, being more productive with my life and back to testing my blood sugar once an hour or two hours at most during the day. I am eating better at breakfast and at lunch, dinner I am still trying to work on. I don’t eat fast food breakfast anymore, like I did pretty much every single day at my old job and I don’t pay for coffee anymore, which saves me between the two about $75 a month. I lost a little weight, but put some back on this past week because I was very stressed out about moving and getting out of my old house and into my new house. I will get into that blog tomorrow.

Until then, I am signing off tonight. Oh by the way, you may not see me tweeting as much, but I am still there in heart, I am reading, but not always posting. I can easily read tweets during work, but I don’t always have the time to write something and then I just usually read them at night, but by that time it’s too late to respond to them. I am finally back to living a normal life of a diabetic.
