Slow but Scary Weekend Winds Down

It has been a slow weekend except for one scary spot. I was really sick late Friday night and Saturday morning (intestinal problems again). Anyway, my inability to keep anything in me led to a blood sugar of 32!!!! (one step away from a sugar coma) on Sat morning. It is supposed to be 90. It came right up when I chugged some juice and some chocolate cake, but I was very lucky that I woke up. Needless to say, I will be calling The Diabetes Center first thing tomorrow morning. If I had any left in my body, it would have scared the crap right out of me!

Saturday afternoon I felt good enough to do my stint at the MG Garden Tour. We had over 250 people come through the Ferrell garden during my shift, and 475 total throughout the day. It was pretty easy. Three of us took turns taking tickets (got to sit down then), counting people, and milling around answering questions. Most of the questions I got were plant identification questions, and they were almost all for plants I couldn't identify... oh well, the homeowner was there, so I just passed the people on to him. Aftwards I just rested and watched Iron Chef America, and then when Todd got home from Burke's party we watched Into the West on TNT and The Terminal. Not bad.

Today I have my spunk back. This morning I got my weeding and watering done by 11 am and then I made banana bread and beer bread. I forgot how nice it is to smell something baking in the oven! Now I will just have to not eat them. I also cleaned the kitchen and did some more sorting in the baby's room. My Goodwill pile grows larger every day and I filled up another waste basket. Other than that, I have been reading this month's Vanity Fair, and carefully monitoring my blood sugar. No more 32's for me!

I am so thankful you woke up! I am glad you are feeling spunky again! I'm going to say some extra prayers for you and the baby.
