I’ve finally dug myself out of my grave like a zombie. I’m still alive!
It’s been a hectic month and a half. My mom’s visit from California was a lot of fun. I can’t tell you how much I love being tour guide. It’s like being a tourist yourself. It’s also nice to get to spend some time with my mother and talk about life. She’s been hinting a lot that I should get married soon. And somehow it’s been working because I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately.
The swineflu pandemic is not letting up. Everyday it seems more and more people are getting sick and that means longer working hours for us. With state funds running dry we are sometimes forced to work extra hours all for the love of public service. I guess that’s just part of being a civil servant.
Working long hours has not been good to my health. Every time I come home all I want to do is just plop into bed and hibernate till next spring. I went to the doctor last week and found out that my A1C has shot up and she’d have to increase my dosage from 850 to 1000. The last thing I want are stronger meds. So I told her to hold off on it until my schedule gets a little bit bearable. Then I’ll have more time to workout and cook at home. But since my schedule hasn’t gotten better I’m forced to work around it. So now instead of running 3 miles twice a week, I run 1 mile once a week, and do 10 minute body weight workouts when I get the chance. So far it’s been working great and my blood sugar has been slowly decreasing.
I was planning on going back to California for a week vacation this August but with the swineflu not letting up means that vacation at work remains suspended. So, I guess the earliest I could take vacation would be sometime around early December.
These are the updates on my part of the woods. I know I’m just babbling here.
