It’s been a while ……
Christmas Eve was very pleasant, dinner was great and I met more of my neighbors family; it was really nice of them to invite me.
Christmas day: DH was home by 10 am (he made a quick stop to pick up a Latte and some flowers for me). I got up at 7am to set up Santa and the reindeers. I believe it was a hit; he was cracking up all morning. We talked for a while before we opened presents and decide to go out for a late breakfast. Came home and went to bed. He had a long night and I did not get to sleep much either. Should not have had the coffee after dinner; it kept me up til the early morning hours. And to top it off the alarm went off an hour earlier then it was supposed to. We ended up snoozing most of the afternoon. And you know how ya feel when ya sleep in the middle of the day; all fuzzy in the head (and mouthJ).

After the “fog” cleared and hanging around we decided to fix dinner; we were having “Surf & Turf”. Too funny, DH and I had the same idea and bought king crab a couple of days before. Now there are seven gigantic legs in the freezer. Looks like we’ll have those for our birthdays.

Whatelse? Not much going on. Looks like we’ll be spending New Years Eve at home. We wanted to go out, but the places we wanted to go are all booked. Fine with me, I am just as happy to be staying at home; too many drunks out there.



As for my visit with the doc: Things went pretty well. All but my glucose levels ware ok. I think I have a slight increase (mine is 106/ reference levels 70-100), nothing near diabetes; just watch your diet and exercise!!!!!! Ha, isn’t that true for everything!? But I trust him, after all diabetes is his specialty and if he was concerned he would have had me check back earlier than 6 month from now.

I also talked to him about my moods. The doctor thinks it could be a number of reasons why I have been feeling this way, especially with everything going on in the past as well as currently. It’s “normal” to feel blue, no one can stay strong forever. So, he wouldn’t recommend meds right now. For several reasons, one of them being, I probably don’t need them, the other once you are “labeled” that it. It would have to be disclosed in the health report for the adoption agency. And even if it was only a temporary situation, it could hinder our chances of adopting. We agree, let’s wait and see.
Well, so far so good, I am in the midst’s of PMS and I am only observing the usual physical crap and some “mild bitchieness” towards DH; nothing unusual, no meltdowns, no overwhelming sadness. I guess that’s good. I hope it stays this way.
Maybe I’ll be able to make some positive changes in the new year. I know there are some things I should definitely change and that other things will fall into place once I made them.

Can you believe it!! Only two more days and this year is done and over with.
Happy New Year!! (just in case I don't show up for a few days:)
