Sunshine on a rainy day.....

Remember how my Monday was cranky? Well this little a$$hole decided to keep me up all night because he just HAD  to eat something off the kitchen floor while mommy and daddy were at work, and abuela was not looking didn't you Kai?!?! See that shame on his face? that's because he was crying all night with the trots, which meant having to go outside in the middle of the night so he could feel better, but he's my little man so I did it. He knows I'm mad at him, but it won't last, I mean seriously look at that face! How could i stay mad? Needless to say I was tired today, and my cold is still not allowing me to feel 100%.

However, in this rainy, crappy Tuesday, there was a bit of sunshine for me. As I have mentioned, some of my co-workers have diabetes, and have shared their experiences with me. Since my diagnosis, they have asked if I check my levels on a daily basis. And the truth is that I don't, my doctor did not tell me I had to. Now bear in mind that the women I work with have had this for years, and some of them have to check their "sugar" as they say, twice a day. The thought of having to do that myself, truly freaks me out, and is probably because I've never had to do it, and I am afraid what the results would be. Today I saw one of them taking her levels, and I was mesmerized and could not look away from the moment she took her little instrument out. She saw my curiosity, and asked if I wanted to check mine. I was scared, since my doctor told me that my glucose was high. She pricked my finger, which did not hurt like I thought it would, and squeezed the little blood drop into the machine, and the number was 109. I immediately asked if that was good, she laughed and said that it was, which made me realize that I SHOULD KNOW WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS BAD RIGHT?! haha! And after a little research here's what you should know; you should be between 80mg/dl-120mg/dl to be considered Healthy and that word we all like "normal". 

I of course shared that with my wife, and here's her text;   The first thing she says is, "HOW?!?!" And knowing Jenn she is thinking that I probably got a dirty needle and did it behind a dumpster somewhere, not because she doesn't trust my judgment, but because it's Jenn, she worries, and of course is nothing but grateful, and extremely supportive,  man that's why I love her. 

And so the suffering is paying off!!! I'm loosing weight and my sugar levels were normal today. I am getting used to the food, so my regiment isn't as unbearable as last week. I am feeling positive about it all. Please hold-Britney is talking on the X factor................she just started dancing to a guy that was doing Vanilla Ice, and that's why I love HER, yes I know she went crazy, I mean CRAAAAAAAZZZZZZZY.  But my love for her hasn't changed, when I see her I still love her as much as I did when I was 15, you know circa when she had stage presence and could dance and didn't look dead in the eyes.  I should mention that I LOVE TV, I mean probably more than bad food.  So if I start rambling on what's happening on "Once Upon a Time" or "New Girl" "30 Rock" "Parks and Rec" pretty much any funny sitcom with an SNL cast member and especially anything with Tina Fey, forgive me. Man she is a comedic genius, and super hot (don't worry Jenn knows how I feel about Ms Fey)-see what I mean? All over the place!  Where was I *reads the the beginning of this paragraph-it stopped making sense* oh well. 

Speaking of TV and such, my friend Angie and I share the same love for everything Funny and nostalgic of the 80's. When she read my first post, which by the way was how I decided to let everyone know of my diagnosis, she immediately texted me " I can offer you this; Stacy from the babysitters club had diabetes and she is fine. Still babysitting if you can believe it!" that in a nutshell is the kind of support I have received from my friends, completely smothered in humor, and that is honestly the best kind I could ever ask for. I am not good with "serious conversations" ask my wife, man she hates it! So I appreciated her text, and laughed about it for quite a while. Classic Angie! 

Alright folks, it is time for me to get ready for bed, 5 am comes before you know it! And after the news I got today there is NO WAY I am going to quit my morning walks and my dieting, there's no where to go but up! Except for my glucose levels, those  I am going to keep that between 80 and 120! Now I'm going to make sure Kai doesn't eat anything weird, because I am sleeping tonight darn it!!! Don't want to be "Up All Night" ah see that?!!?!? Love Mya Rudolph. But in all seriousness (as much as I can muster) Don't let a rainy day get you down, there's always a break in a cloudy sky, if you look hard enough you will find your bit o' sunshine. Or is that Silver lining, nah. Sunshine it is!
