Stress

Man have I been stressed out lately, but it makes sense. 

Here were my plans for the summer:

1) Go to a workshop in Dallas for 2 1/2 days — pay $200

2) Write two Visual Basic finals for the district with at least one person helping — also paid, $20 an hour, max of 20 hours over the three summer months.

3) Write curriculum for two six weeks for Visual Basic.

4) Go to a computer science symposium for 1 day

5) Go to Austin — UTA for 4 days for workshop

6) Go to Las Vegas for a two day workshop — drive there with husband - workshop itself paid for along with hotel room and food for me during the day.

7) Go to a one week AP workshop in Dallas.

That’s it, whole summer.

So what happened?

1) did

2) modified — only me working on it, did 20 hours in June.  I still have at least two edits.

3) doubled — I ended up writing curriculum for two courses

4) did

5) Canceled — thank god!

6) On the way to Las Vegas, literaly, just ate in Amarillo at a place called Rosa’s.  Not bad.

7) Still scheduled.

But I added an emergency visit to the hospital with a 3 day stay and added an semi-emergency vet visit with a dog, two days, and ended putting her down.

This morning, it was all I could do to stay somewhat calm.  I would get up, do a task or two, then sit down and relax.  Mom and my husband kept asking if I’d done stuff and it was all I could do to keep from screaming at them. 

I did freak out, put my “purse” in the backseat instead of in my bag.  That caused a u-turn, and am small communications problem with my husband.

Other than that I’m making it.  Barely.  Thank goodness for the shrink!

This is my journal about my experience with Diabetes. I hope to cover everything I learn as I research and learn more about my condition.

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes means that your blood sugar,or glucose (GLOO-kos), is too high.Glucose comes from the food you eat and is also made in your liver and muscles.

Your blood always has some glucose in it because your body needs glucosefor energy. But too much glucose in the blood isn’t good for your health. An organ called the pancreas (PAN-kree-as) controls the amount of glucose in the blood.

The pancreas makes insulin (IN-suh-lin) which helps glucose get from food into yourcells. Cells take the glucose and make it into energy you need for life.In a person with diabetes, the pancreasmakes little or no insulin or the cells don’t use insulin very well.

So glucosebuilds up in the blood and can’t get intoyour cells. Your blood glucose gets toohigh and diabetes can then damageyour body.
