The day that wasn’t
So, it was Mother’s Day yesterday, though it might as well not have been since we didn’t celebrate at our house. We’re currently riding out a financial tight spot, but you bet I’ll be getting a full refund whenever the opportunity arises. I’m even allowing myself to fantasize about a new lens, so I find it hard to be upset at not celebrating on the actual day.
Today is my second day of blood sugar thingy-ma-bob testing. My blood sugar, so far, is mostly normal. One hour after breakfast seems to be the only troublesome time, while all the other readings are within normal range. So far, so good. I have four more days spread out over a week and a half left of monitoring. I think I’ll throw in some light exercise on the last three days to see what effect it has on the readings.
Funny aside, the diabetes nurse was telling me how tragic it was that there were user manuals in Danish, Swedish and Norwegian for the thingy-ma-bob, but none in English. I told her that one in Danish or Swedish would do fine (I don’t think a lot of these health care professionals realize I AM Danish, but I understand.. It’s not exactly obvious.) - what do you know, when I came home and unpacked the kit I found that she packed me the Norwegian and Finnish manual, but none I can actually understand. Oh, the lulz!
In other pregnancy news, I think my hair now grows as much in six months as other people’s hair grow in one. On the flip side, my nails are out-of-control and growing like crazy. When I was still flexible enough I used to bite my toenails (gag!), after that I picked at them and right now is the first time ever that I have long toenails. Imagine that! Funny how, when I’m not in a position to give my feet extra attention (it would help if I could actually see them properly), that is the time they decide to grow decent nails. What else is new?
