This has been another crazy week. I don't know if it is just me or if I have more hectic weeks now than in the past. I guess it just seems that way sometimes.
Work was a little more nuts last week because Denise's father-in-law died and she had to go to Georgia for most of the week. When she is not there, it means that usually Doris and I have to pick up any loose ends. Between doing our jobs and trying to handle Denise's job, we start feeling like we are chasing our tails.
Wednesday morning I got up and got ready for work as usual. I left the house at 5:15 and was riding down the road listening to the radio and singing along with Kenny Chesney to "I'm Alive" ( I guess that is the name of the song). I thought to myself, "man I really feel good today, this is going to be a great day". Well I drove on down the road about a mile and just like that, it hit me and I said to myself, "man I don't feel so good". I started breaking out in a cold sweat and my hands started to shake and I didn't know if I could drive much farther, but was afraid to pull over on the side of the road, because it was still dark and I was afraid I was going to faint. I managed to call John to tell him I was sick. He said he would come and pick me up, but I decided to try to make it on to work. I finally got to the UNA parking lot and got out of the car. One of my co-workers was getting out of the car when I got there. I ask her to help make sure I made it down the stairs OK. When I got to the office I sat down and checked my blood sugar. It had dropped to 48. I was given some orange juice and about 30 minutes later it started to level off. I finished up the work I needed to do then went home for the rest of the day. It is really scary when your sugar bottoms out like that.
I had a doctors appointment on Friday and she gave me a pill to take along with my insulin. I need to take more carbs out of my diet and exercise more. I guess I will add another mile to my walk each day. Oops! I forgot to walk today.
We went to David and Jackie Berrens' 50Th wedding anniversary celebration Saturday night. They renewed their wedding vows at 5:30 Mass and there was a dinner party following Mass. The gym was transformed into the most beautiful setting. Sheer white tulle with hundreds of tiny lights was draped from the ceiling and down the walls to form a huge tent. The dinner was delicious. The meal was beef roast, pork roast, green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy, squash casserole, salad and wedding cake. There was about 300 people attending so it was quite a production. There was a DJ there and we danced for a while after dinner. Lots of fun.
Johnny, Tracy and the kids came over for dinner. I cut Johnny, JP, Emily and John's hair after dinner. Tracy brought pants to be hemmed for the kids. Tomorrow is Columbus Day, so the kids will be here with John tomorrow and they both have ball games tomorrow night. Looks like the makings of another busy week.
