First– why did I put the agility photos up and tell my readers about it. Well, it was time I outed myself a bit further, plus, I do use the dog agility to measure how I am doing health wise. Dog and I are at a plateau right now, but we are at least having a good time.

I watched Winona Judd on Oprah today. I made a special effort to see this one. I really sympathize with her. I heard my mother’s voice in Naomi, but at least I wasn’t lied to most of my life. Several times I wanted to strangle her. Winona seems to be having a much harder time with her weight — she measure her progress in her voice.

I’ve been braving the cold temperature of our pool — it’s been at 78 degrees pretty consistently. I’ve managed to get in the last three days, and burn off a bit more calories.

Insulin pump is surviving the pool nicely as is the inseratation site. I really haven’t seen any difference. Of course, I’m only in the pool for 10 minutes

You think that cold pool would wake me up, but I am still getting sleepy in the early evening.

And yeah, we have a pool. I think it’s mandatory in Texas, especially once you get to a certain price level in house. We weren’t looking for a pool when we found the house, and we’ve always had the option of pulling it — it’s an above ground pool, but so far, it’s one of our favorite spots in the summer.

Of course, it’s a huge, dirty hole in the ground in the winter, even though we have the pool guy come out weekly. I live in horror of one of the neighbor children getting in the yard and drowning in the pool, but at least ours won’t be nasty and murky if it happens.

Yeah, we have a padlock on the fence but sometimes those kiddos can be bound and determined. A few years ago, I heard of a child who was visiting someone that went through the dog door to get to the pool. Yeah, we have one of those too, but at least the kiddo would have to also dig out of the dog run. Of course, Maggie does that all the time….

I’ve had the Treo for almost a week now. It is working out far better than any expectations.

Not only does EZManager work as well as it has on any other Palm device but so does my other apps. I honestly don’t miss the screen resolution. Even my pictures.

I’m in the process of uploading our spring agility photos. See http://www.kweaver.org/photos/

Though it’s sad that the Type 1’s seem not to get the Type 2’s. And this Type 2 is handling it the Type 1 way, since it is the best way to deal with it.

Provigil — anti-narcolepsy drug — tried it for a few days and really didn’t like it. Would much rather sleep and fix the problem that way.

And it definately screwed with my blood sugar. I was consistently — all day, around 20 units higher than normal. Blood sugar is back down where I like it.

I am sleeping a bit better, but am still waking up.

The best move is that the scale is moving in the right direction!
