The (short lived) sweet smell of success

Got a lot done today. A feeling of success. Although it was superficial to anyone else...we got mostly organized. Not completely...but made an honest stab at it. We still have a long way to go but will take baby steps. Many moons ago, when B&B Remodeling was in complete control of all of their stuff..i.e. tools, equipment, stuff...we didn't worry about where we left anything. It was exactly where we left it. In our room. But quite a few 'light fingered handy helpers' have done just that. Helped themselves. And moved our shit! And that...my friends...really pisses us off. So...since we were hauling a lot of our stuff back to our storage room after finishing #2, we decide to eliminate a bunch of shit and put our stuff where we wanted it. Like I said...some stuff is in a temporary home...but we know where it is. It looks so much better.

It wasn't terrifically busy today and we actually got our checks early and got to the bank before they closed...another monumental feat around here. We ran a couple of errands this morning, mainly picking up medication at the pharmacy. I have a DR appt. on Tuesday...but only had enough meds till Saturday. Hmmmm....so I called DR and asked for more. They give me 30 at a time (this conversation sounds familiar...so if you've heard it already...sorry!) and I take 4 a day. You do the math. I seriously hope DR cuts the meds down. Maybe my vision would improve! I have been keeping my blood sugar in the 'amazingly good range'. A little below to a little above 100. I have cheated only a couple of times and it wasn't critical. I am eating right...very right...as a matter of fact. So it stands to reason. I am proud of myself. I think I need a treat!! Something that involves chocolate and caramel!! Yes!!!

The 'Go Texan' group was set up at the courthouse today for the opening day of Gallery Night. The Women's Club of Alpine was sponsoring them. I think it's the Juniorettes (?) or vice versa. They had called me to have a table. Not a bad idea except you never know what the weather will be like. It's 100% going to be cold...especially since you are supposed to stay 'set up' until way after dark when the crowds come out...and today was quite breezy. I'd call it windy myself. Glad I didn't do it. When we drove past on the way back from the bank, several of the tables had already closed up.

Pretty much everybody walking around at night is going to stay on the main street anyway since that's where all the action it. All of the stores...with free food and wine...and the galleries are there as well as the beer and any entertainment. It would be nuts to stay at the courthouse and hope for foot traffic. It's going on again all day tomorrow and I bet the crowd is better. Hopefully. The craft show is enough for me. And no I didn't get anything creative done today. I wasn't in the mood.

I just ate an orange it was wonderful. Nice and juicy and really tasted like an orange. It's so hard to get good fruit.


I ordered a present for Tom. He will be so excited.  He doesn't know yet...so I won't let him read this. I want it to be a surprise! 

I think it's quite cute. And it looks just like him!

I got a cherry pie today. I had ordered it from a friend who's little boy was selling them to raise money for his soccer team. This was obviously pre-diabetes. I wouldn't mind having a piece of it right now...but It's in freezer where it belongs!! It's my home made contribution to Thanksgiving.

I think I want to get my hair trimmed next week. It's growing out and I look like a bushman. Mostly the top looks like shit. Of course if I didn't go to bed with wet hair and f**k it all up it might not look so bad. Tough. Obviously I can't see it, except when I go by a mirror...which I try to avoid. I saw it today. Bad. Very bad.

I need to co-ordinate all of this in one day. Dr day. If I remember.

Well...I'm off to shower (and do my hair). Have a nice night!!
