Of course we have no front door and no garage door, but our scumbags may get to spend the weekend in jail with no shoes.
And I don’t have to stay in a hotel. Probably won’t sleep again.

We live on a busy street just north of Dallas. Friday morning, August 26, a drunk landed in the front hall of our house, taking out the double doors, the study and the garage door.
I screamed hysterically when I saw smelled and saw the truck. Imagine waking up at 2:00 am to find a very large pickup in your house. I alternated between being upset about the house, telling the driver I was going to kill him and screaming for the dogs.
They were in the truck when I went in the office and grabbed gym clothing while calling 911. I think I told them there was a truck in my house, and that I didn’t care if anyone was hurt. They sent EVERYONE out. Ambulance, fire trucks, police. Captain Murphy was super.
Husband snagged Macy and tossed her in her room. Dulce made it to the living room and was crying, Rich was able to find her, hand her to me and I stashed her with Macy. Maggie apparently followed me, because the firemen found her in her favorite hiding place. The firemen and I put the dogs in the upstairs cages, and left Maggie alone, as they wouldn’t believe me that she wouldn’t bite them, or hurt them if she did. She has very little teeth left.
Rich made it out the front window. We couldn’t go out through the yard. And we couldn’t go out through the garage. They had to bring me shoes, since the debris was all over and I hung out on the deck until Rich could open the fence. Note to self, need a different way to latch the gate.
My first call was to my real estate sister, but she didn’t answer. Then I remembered that we just got a bill for the Umbrella Policy and it had claim numbers. So I called them. They’ve offered us a place to stay, but am hoping to stay here. They also sent someone to board up the house who is doing an excellent job and building a new structure around the house.
If you want to visit us, you’ll have to call first, and we have to put in some solutions in place. Also have to figure out how to deal with the mail.
I still am doing a lousy job of controlling my diabetes.
First problem – not sleeping.
Second problem – making poor eating choices.
Sleeping really affects choice making ability. Have done better on getting to bed last two days but will take a while to fill that bank.

Poor @alfredtwo – He twitted to me about Microsoft’s work on a technology that will allow us to know our blood sugar from our tears.
I was not excited.
I was diagnosed in 2002 and I remember hearing a Paul Harvey segment on the some time shortly after. So I don’t know how long that tree has been chased, but it’s been in the media for somewhere around 8 years.
So far, the only way to know what someone’s blood sugar is, is to examine their blood. There is a standard deviation on meters of something like 30%. That means when I stick my finger and the meter reads 100, it could be anywhere between 70 and 130. Not real accurate.
Oh, and there is lagtime between the brain and the finger. Bigger lagtime if I test the surface of my arm.
CGMS technology was bandied about for years. I’m tried the watch and two version of the Dexcom and I haven’t been happy with the accuracy. Also haven’t been real happy about the procedure and the cost.
Oh, and do you know how many times mice have been cured of diabetes since my diagnosis?
So sorry, but I’ve been around the block long enough to know not to get excited until it’s on the pharmacy shelf and I can purchase it without having to get rid of one of my dogs.
Still not managing my diabetes or the rest of my health well, not sure if it is summer or burn out. Suspecting it is a combination of both.
Am at the gym but not in the mood ti stay long.

We are hot in Dallas and I have thought that doing house and hot things is best, especially since LA Fitness is relatively cool. If cooler we would allfreeze when we started sweating so not complaining.

I get stressed by the weirdest things – like being in when @TheMaids clean. My fault, I trusted the transcribed voice mail.
speaking of stress, i had 7 medical appointments scheduled this week and have done 5.
Sleep doctor – left everything alone, wrote prescription for hot tub so get sales tax and renewed existing CPAP orders. i average 7 hours on the CPAP with low leakage and low apnea events which means it works.
Had a small amount of fluid taken out of the lap band. have never hit the sweet spot.
Saw cardiologist and he is leaving me alone for a year. went there as was having edema problems but compression device used during lap band surgery solved that.
got more fliud in knee, PA is good! one more treatment next week. they have "advanced" on shoe inserts, use a factory produced insert at $9.00. Ordered 5 when i got home.
saw Endo. A1c is sucking, we all know why, patient compliance. working on it. Dexcom is way too expensive to be an option.
see dentist in a little bit. long story but tooth cracked.
also see counselor tonight.

Woke up with only one knee hurting. losing weight.

Woke up with BOTH knees hurting, though I know it will take a while for the Euflexxa injections to really help. It takes three treatments to be complete. Still also very stiff overall. Especially since last night was a dog agility night.
Looking forward to feeling better.
