As time goes on

Today I have been feeling a little overwhelmed…. there is a lot going on.

First off in February we took on the responsibility of getting a puppy; little did we know that our handsome little man would come with a series of separation, emotional and behavioral problems. He is adjusting but it has taken a lot of work on our part.

I am training for my second century Ride to Cure for JDRF, a 100 Mile Ride at the End of July in Burlington Vermont. Training while working a full time job is difficult. I wake up early and ride 15 -20 miles BEFORE work or ride from when I get off work until the sun goes down and then usually a longer ride on the weekend. And for my health and well being I signed up for a Boot-Camp Class which is 2 days a week from 6:30-7:30am.

I am managing my diabetes, which is always a full time job in itself. I went to the Dr. yesterday and my A1C came down again (BIG pat on the back) but I need to “tighten it up” avoiding lows that re-bound into highs, so I am back to record-keeping. this means writing down what my blood sugar is when I test, everything i eat, how many carbohydrates it is, and how much insulin I take- so that we can see how the fitness is affecting me and where i need to temp up and down… it is almost like second nature to me, but it is still a big PAIN

And, we are planning a wedding in Rural Connecticut. getting people in and out of there and all set up is a lot of work, totally manageable but lots of work, and because I keep thinking it is a ways off (IT IS NOT) I have been slacking on my planning.

We are heading up to the Farm on Memorial Day weekend. I will be able to focus in on what goes where and what needs to be done. We will bring the puppy and of course my diabetes will be there, but we will have a lovely time.

Focus on Lovely Things.
