Well, it's been a rough month or so as I've adjusted to new meds for my diabetes and other conditions, but I think I've finally turned the corner ... or at least can see the corner ahead of me. I've had a couple of days where I felt more like "me" if that makes sense.
I've been making To-Do lists the past four days, and that has really helped both my mood and productivity. Checking those items off gives me a little kick to keep moving. I'm using Remember The Milk to make my lists, and so far, I really like it. I do print my lists because I'm often not at the computer during the day. Besides, making a check showing an item is finished is more enjoyable than clicking a button with my trackball.
One of my new diabetes meds is Farxiga™. It's that one where your kidneys pass sugar out in your urine. Sorry, should I have warned you that was going to be a medical moment? In the Farxiga™ commercial, it shows people dancing. That's because they need to pee and are rushing to the bathroom! The first week or so was rough, but slowly your body adapts to it, and the ... ah ... dancing is less urgent. Be sure, however, to take it in the morning! You don't want to take it at night; otherwise, you'll get no sleep. The drug is working, too. My blood sugar is going down; it's not a cure-all, of course. I still have to watch my diet. No ice cream sundaes, dang it!
We have received an incredible amount of rain here. We've been under a flash flood warning for days. It's enough to drown Noah. But the forecast says a couple more days of light rain/cloudy skies, then it will be sun. I hope it doesn't burn our skin; it's been so long since we've seen the sun that the townsfolk are getting that pale frog-underbelly look.
Tonight, the Boy Scout troop at my roomie's church is having a spaghetti dinner to raise funds for Summer Camp. I will be going, I think. It's a good cause, and it's only $5 for a complete meal. I hope it doesn't rain. Any type of grumpy weather, and people stay home. They're hoping 200 people will show up. They need that many to show up.
This coming week, I will be:
- Working on the family newsletter.
- Working on Undying: Men, Myth & Monsters.
- Working on "Last Ride Out of Ryton," the next short story I'm putting up for Kindle.
- Household chores.
- Appointments with doctors on Wednesday and Thursday.
And that will be a full week and then some. Hope you have a great creative week!

Looks like you didn't shock the internet by posting. :-) I'm so glad you're feeling better. I've been concerned about you. Yay for not doing the Pee Pee Dance quite so often.
The Net is more robust than I thought. :)
I still have a way to go, but it's looking better, I think. We'll see what the doctors say this week. I expect some med adjustment to take place. But I think we're on the right track.
I hope you have a great and creative week, too!! {{hugs}} Glad to know you're feeling better.
Thanks, Tammy! So good to see you here! :)
