So far this day is just going great. Up early and took off for Hospital and Diabetic Clinic Appointment. The weather is just perfect today so got my Scooter all charged up and off I went. Appointment was not so great as I expected it wouldn't be since I had so much trouble on my Holidays. She reiterated the very serious dangers of suck low, very low, sugars that I that I have had over the last 3 or 4 weeks. The lowness of them I know can be life and death for me and I was so caught up with my Holidays that I didn't do all the things I new I should have done to protect myself. This of course really upset me and I feel stupid and frustrated and very much like the person I was a few years ago when I really fell to pieces physically, emotionally and mentally. I have to take the necessary steps to get this kind of behaviour under control once again. At least I won't be going away on any vacations again for a very long time so that should help me.
After that appointment I headed downtowm to get much needed funds and immediately scooter all the way back to past the Hospital to get stuff for my Ipod, some groceries and hit the Bell Canada store to price out a new cell phone since mine became lost between Ottawa and Here. Bell charges $100 and Walmart charges $50 for the same damned phone. I so hate Bell Canada and its massive over charging Manopoly. Needless to say I'll be saving my limited funds to buy mine from Walmart. Once returned home I proceeded to update my online calendar that my life is run on, recharged the Ipod, Made a lengthy 'To Do' list to keep this energy filled motion going and prepare for tomorrows appointments of which there are 3.
Found out some family is coming up from Ottawa to visit us this coming weekend. I'm excited because my Cousin & his wife are driving my Aunt and Uncle and another Aunt & her husband are coming from Toronto. I haven't seen my cousin and his wife for probably over 25 yrs so it should be good for a lot of laughs and memories galore. My Family here were talking about it last night and I had no idea what was going on. Since I was away they forgot to mention anything to me. The old adage holds true ' Out of site, Out of mind'. That's OK though, I didn't mind as I was so excited they are coming. There had been a lot of talk over the past several months but nothing really confirmed. Also, My Moms only brother was diagnosed with form of Alzheimers that will eventually rob him of his mind. So it's just so wonderful Mom, her brother and sister can get together again. My moms Oldest sister and a youger sister are in bad shape with Dimentia for many years and really don't know what's happening around them anymore. My Mom is the 2nd oldest of the siblings and they are very very close although they live in 3 different cities and have so for many years
l finally decided not to get a cat at this time so I thought I'd go out and get an ElmoII. a Taiwan Fighting Fish. I had one for the last two years but it died the night before I left for my vacation. Since it's still beautiful out I once again boarded my Scooter and headed out. I went all the way there with anticipation only to find the bloody store had gone out of business. So I came home empty (fish) handed. Phooey..... I guess another fish wasn't to be. I honestly don't know if or where another Fishstore might be in this city. So - maybe a cat just might be in my future after all. I'll have to give this concept considerably deeper thought before I do anything rash.
Today I am so grateful for the glorious weather and for being able to accomplish so many things on my 'to do' lists. I'm so grateful for my children who make my life worth living and my friends who still stick by me even when I say or do things that upset or disturb them.....tomorrows another day with new hopes and dreams to accomplish !!!
