400 Posts! What another milestone!

Yes, tonight is my 400th post of this Blog, amazing, and they said it couldn't be done, or was that, it shouldn't be? Any-who, I did do it in spite of public opinion and that, proves only one thing…that I am insolent!
Not that anyone actually cares but that has got to be over eight hundred pages with my prolific inscriptive ability to shoot the bull as good as the rest of you, TA DA!

Moving right along…last night I got a chance to try out that glucose meter that we picked up, and two and half hours after dinner I took it, and the reading was 143, and so I got slightly concerned, but that still doesn’t classify me as a diabetic, does it? To be sure I thought I would give it a full night’s fasting and take it again without any food, and this morning it was down to 114. Now I think I will wait a week until I try it again; sticking your fingers hurts! I am not on insulin, and I think since I am writing it all down in the log they give you with the meter I will take it with me for my next doctor’s appointment before I worry too much.

This evening I heard from my cousin, the retired teacher/heart attack survivor, and he said he is very tired and not so good yet. But he has never been this sick, and it was a trauma to his body, I said that to him and reminded him he is a survivor! Besides he was on his way out to dinner, and so he has been doing things he admitted, which is just great I think! He had a stress test yesterday that he apparently passed, he said they let him go home so it must have been just fine; he will get the actual test results Monday, he said.

My hubby did a much unexpected nice addition to our new veggie garden, he made an incredible arbor from left over wood from behind our shed, some fence and lattice pieces, and it looks just magnificent as the entrĂ©e to the new raised bed garden also made from recycled wooden fence pieces! It is not small either; it is 9 feet in length, 16” in depth, and over seven feet tall, and he painted it with the leftover white primer and paint from the fence, and now I have my cottage look garden!

On that pleasant note I will bid you all a good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
