DeniseC posted a blog postNote From First Friday In December
Since Thanksgiving, I have been self-sabotaging with poor food choices. I am trying to lighten my days by "enjoying food" more. I start the day out well but as morning turns to afternoon and the sun sets in the west things go haywire. Each day in December finds darkness falling earlier. Tonight I refused to forage in the kitchen for something to lift me my mood. I get it. I miss the 5 o'clock visits from neighbors who stop by to visit baby blue while walking their dogs. I am missing daylight…See More

Continue Numbers Changed Quickly Tonight

Good grief Charlie Brown - sugar went crazy tonight - from 120 to 180 in 2 hours then dipped to 101 after a brisk 20 minute walk and a lot of water. Type 2 can be a lot of work but... it's worth it to pay attention...
The 80 point drop left me a little woozy though.I do not like walking alone after dark - even in the burbs but, the moon is a lovely shade of sherbert orange tonight and there's a nice little hill to climb outside my front door.Oh, I brought my cell phone to catch up… Continue

Ten years ago today - No Facebook, No iPods, No Twitter.... It was a different world. We've all changed - we dared to rebuild and life went on. We have witnessed amazing bravery, love, courage, and agony.
