Babble vs. Playlist

Doug took a nap with the dogs and I figured I'd go to the gym. I had DnD at 3:30, early this week. My sister checked in with me when I got there so we did the facebook video keep Chris interested while on the treadmill thing. She said to me, do you want to babble or listen to your playlist?

I will always choose Linda time over the playlist, even though I was looking forward to some playlist time. No one was in the gym, there was a guy 5 machines down from me who had headphones on and hardly anyone else. No one was in the circuit room, I could have gone through there but I talked to Lin for quite a while and it was 30 minutes before I knew it. I could have kept going but I needed to get home and get showered and ready for DnD. 

We had a blast tonight. Our group has been playing for over a year, and I feel like the past couple sessions we've really hit it off. We really clicked. Geoff made dinner while I was playing so I'm thankful for that. 

I took my glucose reading at the usual time (4:30pm), and it was 84. I don't think it has ever been that low. Um. So is this medication doing amazing things, combined with the exercise and super low carbs. I mean, it seems to be such a quick change. So I had crackers for snack and decided it was okay to drink wine. And eat 9 pierogies with dinner. I googled how low is dangerous blood sugar, and 70 is. So. I .... was rest assured and relaxed. But still a little like ....whoa.

At 10:30 my blood sugar was 96 so it didn't go up a whole hell of a lot. Interested in seeing what the morning brings. This is all new to me. And I'm just as terrified of hypoglycemia as hyper.

Law of averages, we keep this up, I get a lower A1C. 

Anyway. I wish we'd gone to plant swap at the brewery in DC today but. We didn't. That's okay. Maybe next weekend we'll go somewhere. Days are getting longer. I'm noticing it. 5:30 these days. Doug and I started watching Squid Game 2. I thought the first one was interesting, this one has a lot more people stuff happening, a lot of stories, less about the violence (but still a lot). 

What they've done magnificently is there is a transgender character and the marginalization and isolation, the rudeness and horrible treatment is amazing. And the elderly grandmother ... same. Really interesting.

Alright. Ready for the working week. Light meetings tomorrow but one big one with our entire team and the new COO.
