I usually try to take my blood sugar between 4 and 5pm, far enough away from lunch, and before dinner. If I get hungry, I do get myself into testing around 4.
Today, at 4pm, I tested at 90, so I declared it time for snack. We had this log of goat cheese with cranberries in the fridge that has been staring at me for weeks and weeks. I bought it at Aldi before we moved. And that's what I wanted. But oh. Crackers. Okay, six crackers and some goat cheese and I'll be done.
y'all.
SO GOOD.
I stopped when I ran out of crackers, though. Why is goat cheese so delicious? Why is goat cheese and cranberries so extra delicious?
I want to learn how to make my own cheese logs like this.
Some candied pecans and goat cheese.
Slivered almonds and goat cheese.
Cranberries, some sorta nuts, goat cheese.
I sound like the bubba gump of goat cheese or something. But lord help me, I do love it.
Today was a good day. Our combined team had a "retro" to talk about a project that could have gone better. Part of our department sometimes operates as their own department, and they were kind of in charge of some of this, and there was some anger because folks on my side of the team felt there was communication missing and it wasn't clear who was supposed to be doing a thing.
In the end, it was a good meeting but I do feel that some folks had their feelings hurt. Sometimes you can't help but have that happen.
And we learn and move on.
Took a long walk this afternoon with Toffee but circled back around with her and dropped her off, because it was hard to Pokemon with her.
I didn't have my yoga pants with pockets, and it was annoying to deal with her, pick up poop, heel her, pull on her, and try to catch Woobats.
She got a good walk, but I needed some more personally and after giving her a cookie, I got a longer walk.
Doug and I went to a local bank to withdraw some cash since this weekend, our bank is merging with another bank and our debit cards are going offline, and we haven't gotten our new cards, since our address change came right around the time they started sending out the new cards so they didn't send ours.
I can't request new cards until next week after the holiday, so 300 bucks cash today, 300 bucks cash tomorrow, and then ..... request new cards.
We had a little fight about it, because Doug claims he has no idea this was happening even though Geoff and I have been talking about it in front of him for weeks. I had asked him if he wanted to open up an account with a local bank, since the nearest branch to us for the old bank is in Germantown, and the new bank is somewhere in Leesburg, VA or Front Royal, VA.
He said "meh" and then he got mad at me tonight when I told him where the nearest branch of our old and new bank locations are, because he has something to deposit. So. Fuck. We gotta drive an hour to Germantown, or whatever how long it takes to get to Leesburg or Front Royal.
We should move banks. But he's been deaf and blind about this. I'll allow it. Moving and stuff got in the way. So I'll revisit it. We could set up a local bank where we deposit physical checks that we get, and then transfer to our main bank.
We do most everything on our capital one card anyway, and tomorrow I'll make a payment online to the capital one account once my paycheck hits, and then we'll hover in weird bank transition until next Tuesday I guess.
While we were fussing at each other and we knew we needed to go to the bank and get cash Doug said let's go to DQ and get some ice cream. Twist my arm. Soft Serve is my kryptonite.
