Hi diddle-di-di...

Yo!

I'm in a pretty good mood today...anyone who says "makes a change..." will be...erm...I have no idea:confused:

Generally, I dont have a BP problem but for some (hormonal) reason it tends to go up at period time...I know I've said this before. Anyway, I've been keeping a close eye on it this month and as soon as I see it rise the doc has given me a tablet to break into quarters and take one piece a day for four days. Hopefully this will ride out the storm and keep the levels from getting on the high side...we shall see.

My sugar levels are so low at the moment I'm taking only a tiny amount of insulin in the mornings to work alongside my food throughout the day. If this trend continues I would like to think that in just a short while I won't need insulin (and hopefully nothing in its place) for my diabetes...:clap2:

Me and Arthur (my treadmill...see earlier post for meaning) are still getting along really well and I keep moving the goal posts by either increasing my time or my speed...I will be doing a decent walk at a decent pace by the end of the summer and when I next go to England and my mum wants to go for a walk around the fields and farmlands, I'll be in a condition to go with her.:biggrin1:

I had to go to my first Greek funeral yesterday. Jordan's grandmum had passed away. There was a sadness at her not being here but a recognition of her having lived a great life ..96 and not suffering in anyway either in life or at the end.

The funeral wasn't too bad but it was over 100 degrees in the church and that was horrible!

There was one thing that really struck me as funny...outside the church, near the car park, there was a man with a bike and trailer selling ice-creams :omg: :Dancing_biggrin: Can you imagine putting someone who you loved enough to be at their funeral, in their grave and then nipping outside for a nice cool vanilla cone?????????????? Wonder how much business he does LOL?

It's good to see you in a wonderful mood....keep smiling.

I'm happy to hear you are arthur are getting along. WOW 96 that is amazing, I hope she was happy during her life.

At 100 degrees inside I bet a lot of folks wished they had that cone in the church. You have to bring children to a funeral sometimes...enough said....mommmmmmmm (the kids are always a good excuse to get some ice cream)

lol Ali --- I enjoyed today's journal.......thanks for sharing -- it will be great to SEE you soon (with my new toy) --
