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 in love with it. I have wanted one of those cars for a long time and finally found the perfect one I was looking for. It didn’t go so well on Friday when I tried to get the financing for it. Since I have had a credit score, I guess dating back 7-8 years ago, I have had almost perfect credit, about 730 score ( I don’t mind sharing it when it was that high, ha). Unfortunately, back in November when I lost my job, my credit score took a little dip. So, ultimately, I was not able to get the financing needed for the car.

That was very stressful, so my blood sugar spiked like crazy. I finally got it back under control around 5 o’clock or so when Amanda and I headed out for dinner and to a different casino then last week. I had a turkey club with some coleslaw and my sugars went high by the end of the night again. I’m not sure what caused the spike, maybe my diabetes? I won money at the casino, so that was good. And if you have been reading my last few weekend recaps, I’m not addicted to gambling, I’ve just been feeling lucky.

Saturday morning was just lying around doing nothing. My girlfriend’s older brother and I played a little wiffle ball golf in the morning. Basically we took a basketball and just threw it in the air and wherever it landed, that was the whole and first one to hit their wiffle golf ball into the basketball one the hole. We played 9-holes and unfortunately, I pulled a Phil Mickelson and choked on the last hole. We all then went down to the Panthers game last night against the Buffalo Sabres. Now, let me just say this, if you are from Buffalo, oh well. I come from Philadelphia, so I know all about being an obnoxious fan, Philly fans are the best in the world, HOWEVER, Buffalo Sabre fans are just annoying! I can’t stand people that have an excuse for everything, like the refs made that call to keep the game close, that was a lucky shot, but when you’re team scores it was an amazing shot and when the other team gets a penalty it was a great call. Just shut up ok?

Moving on. Sunday was another Panthers game, back to backs are rough. I also wanted to watch the race and some of the Michigan St basketball game as well. I had so much laundry to do and work to catch up on as well from the weekend and not doing anything. Sunday is usually my planning day. I get out my calendar and pen and start outlining the whole week. Client projects, blog ideas for a few of the blogs I write, to dos, etc.

Well, happy Monday to everybody and have a great day.
