Wow, what a long day it has been so far today. Today was the first day of starting my new job as an SEO Specialist for a large ad agency firm. Let’s rewind and get to the recap of the weekend however. Friday night was a nice dinner with Amanda at Carolina coal fire pizza in Delray. After that we enjoyed some amazing Rita’s Italian Ice as well. So, let’s take a guess at what my blood sugar did after that night? You guessed it, went over 400 at one point. I never eat pizza anymore, but I just said screw it, I’m going to enjoy it tonight.
Saturday was a very, very, very long day. It started at 7 a.m. with getting ready to go to the Red Bull FlugTag down in Miami. If you don’t know what this event is, you have probably seen commercials on tv for it before. It was where people create these large “flying” machines, run full speed off of a 30 foot platform and see who can fly the furthest….get it, Red Bull “gives you wings”. It was about 100 degrees that day, with no shade, so it was so hot and just so damn irritable. Once we got home from that it was Amanda’s uncle’s 50th birthday party, so time to get the bathing suit on and head over for some beer, food, and pool. Well, my site fell off in the pool at about 9:30, and we didn’t go home until about 10:30. My blood sugar was not that high once I got home, it was about 275. The way I looked at it was that my pump was going to be disconnected anyway because I was swimming, so what did it make a difference that it fell out?
Yesterday was another day of swimming at Amanda’s house because it was just so freakin’ hot. After that we went to Olive Garden. Then it was back home to relax and get ready for the first day of work.
So, that leads to today. Up at 7 a.m. to have coffee and get ready and didn’t get home until 7. Went for a nice walk, ate dinner and here it is, almost 9 p.m. and my day is finally over.
Time to get to bed soon and do it all over again.
Chris: Hope the new job went well on the first day! On that note, I’d welcome the chance at some point to talk more about the whole role of an SEO specialist as you do it. I’ve been talking with someone about an opportunity along similiar lines, more like social media volunteer/consultant with the possibility of something more down the road, and it would be mostly focused on branding/marketing a specific Diabetes Management web tool. Not very familiar with all of that and wouldn’t mind getting some thoughts from someone who knows it better. I think you’ve got my email from our Guest Blog exchange recently, so drop a line whenever you’re able – I’m out of all next week on a vacation without any email access, but should be back at end of July!
