My Christmas Website is up at http://www.kweaver.us/

Last night, I put a new set in. This morning, I got up and my blood sugar was 147 — it is normally around 110. I attributed that to losing track of carbs last night — I curled up in front of the TV with some crackers.

This morning my blood sugar was 257. Normally after breakfast I’m 150. So I decided the old set or insulin had to be bad, and switched everything out.

Now last year when this happened, I either had to sneak around to change the set, or I had to change it in a teacher’s lounge, or god forbid, the nurse’s office or the restroom (equally germ ridden).

Today, I waited until my planning period, locked the door and did it comfortably. If I’d had students in the room, I would have done the same in my closet.

It’s so nice to be back.

I finished another week — even doing an extra cardio session. I’m gradually increasing distance and it is going well.

I also got some 15 mg Mobic this weekend, so I’m hoping my dog agility days go better.

The fall semester is almost over — tomorrow is our last full day, then we go to half days. I’d like to lose 5 pounds over break, but it will be hard — one problem is that Diet Gourmet will be shutting down for the holiday too.

Almost forget — one of the teachers that was at the dinner meeting tonight is on Exubera. The “bong” isn’t as bad as I thought it was when I saw it on DLife. We didn’t spend much time talking about it but she said she’d been losing some of the weight she’d gained on Novolog. She’s extremely happy with it. I might drop her an email and ask her some more questions.

Not really, but it was weird. I guess I had not put my pump back in my bra right after dinner. Had a dinner meeting with some other teachers. On my way out of the building, plop, my pump fell on the floor, tubing, site and all…. Oh well, I was almost out of insulin, there were several large bubbles in the reservoir and so I’m not too upset. I did wait until I got home and after I’d done my workout before I fixed things.

Unfortunately I’ve gotten a bit casual about things like that, and I need to tighten up on my control.

However, my blood sugars have been good most of the time.

Marcie and I had several good runs this weekend. She took a 2nd place this morning in Standard, and was 1 second from Qing in JWW. We were clean in JWW Friday — I had to work Friday — and had a few minor mistakes in Standard that day.

Maggie is improving — she actually did weaves without trashtalking (that’s what one of my friends calls her bellowing).

The point — I’m physically doing better just not as well as I was last year at this time.

One of the reasons I went into teaching instead of actually working as a computer scientist was so I could have a life.
Well today I have to give up my favorite activity to teach someone else students. Worse yet, I have to do it during the wrong part of the year. The test we are teaching to is in May.
No kid in their right mind cares now.
So my bloodsugar is not doing good things right now!
