I am full

Husband got out of the military on December 7 many years ago. So we went out to dinner tonight with friends. BFFMS went (she was the designated driver) and so did Paul Becker. He is here for a few days from El Paso seeing his mom who is a nursing home here in Alpine. We all had a nice meal. It was entertaining. Paul and Husband never shut up. I ate fried food. A lot of it. It was really good. I'll suffer in silence. It will be worth it.

I tiled the shower floor today and also replaced 3 tiles on the actual bathroom floor in Room #24. It looks so much better! It was a very slow day business wise here. Things are slow everywhere here in Alpine. When I checked earlier, a couple of people had checked in.

Elizabeth Edwards died today. I liked her. I admired and respected her as a woman. She was brave. I'm not sure I could handle my situation as gracefully as she did. To be so ill in such a public venue. Perhaps it was comforting to know how much people cared for you unconditionally. RIP.

I have been looking at tea on line. I enjoy tea. I usually buy from DeCoty Coffee when they come here twice a month...but I want something different. There are lots of brands to choose from and I'm just not sure what I want.

I still didn't reach the dietitian today. She was not in her office and I sure hope I can reach her tomorrow. I need to see, or at least speak to her, before Monday. My blood sugar is staying good. When I got home today I was really thirsty for something fizzy and not a Coke Zero, so I drank part of an orange Crush. Not even the whole thing. I waited a few minutes and checked my blood sugar. It was 247! It took about 30 minutes for it to drop....thank God it did! I won't do that again!! (Then I ate the fried food!)

I need to find our little Christmas tree. Time to have some friggin' holiday spirit!! Since there is absolutely NO place to put it...I should suspend it from the ceiling. I need to put that on the list for tomorrow. Along with everything else I haven't done.

I got a sale catalog from Bealls today. There is really nice stuff in it. The problem is...they probably don't have much here in this store. It's the general Bealls store stuff. I think they have on-line shopping now and I might call the Alpine store to see if they do have the things I want and if not, check on line. There are 2 things specifically that I'd like to get. I hope they are here. I hate to have to order a sale item and then have to pay the shipping. Might not be worth it.

It's already 11:30. I need some sleep. See you tomorrow...
