Glad that things are getting better. And that is great news about your mom's energy. And your bg looks great!! Sorry you have ben stressed, I didn't know, or I would have been more attentive. Been a little odd around here. I awoke to thunderstorms again this morning. Don't think I will ever get the grass mowed. It is never dry enough. It is supposed tobe incredibly hot starting tomorrow, so I may try tonight if it ever dries up!!! If not, guess I'll be mowing in the early morning or late in the evening!! 

Thanks Stef! Not to worry. It's been a strange week starting for me at least last Friday I think. Just family stuff mostly. I remember when I mowed our grass when I lived out of town with my ex husband, about 16 years ago I think. He refused to mow or do any outside upkeep so it was up to me. I had to pick up pinecones, twigs and big sticks before I could mow the enormous yard. It usually took me an hour an a half total and I know what you mean when it's been wet. When it was finally dry enough to mow I had to get it done right away or it might rain again lol. Now in an apartment complex there's no upkeep outside for me but then I wouldn't be able to anyways. It's all I can do to take care of me! <smiles> Good luck with the mowing :) 

Ha-ha! I sent some Seattle weather your way! What's really bad is it's the middle of June, and when I go outside, I can still see my breath. Happy June-uary! 

Yeah, my daughter lives in Federal Way and has commented about the colder weather. I hope it warms up soooooon. 

I have to ask...what is BG ? I"m sure that is is something important that I SHOULD already know, but don't. Hope your stress level decreases!!  

BG is short for Blood Glucose. I'm diabetic 2 so I use my BG meter every morning to see how I'm doing in keeping in it under control. When I was 1st dxd I wasn't real bad yet (thank my doctor for that). I was only about 130 or so most mornings. Yet, those numbers are pretty damaging. If you read up on diabetes 2 you'll find at 1st there are no symptoms really. That comes later as it damages the body. There are people walking around with diabetes and don't even know it. Actually Barb, I imagine most people don't know what BG means unless they're in the health field or know a diabetic. My goal is to get as close to 80 as possible without meds. I'm still on metformin because without it I still have spikes. My mom lost one of her big toes last year and almost lost her foot this year to diabetes. :)
