Aunt Marge

It's been a few weeks now since my Aunt Marge passed away. As a child I loved spending time with Aunt Marge, she was always one of my favorite people. As an adult I treasured the few times I got to see her. She had been sick for awhile and on my last visit home I was so wrapped up in my sister and soon to be born nephew, Phoenix, that visiting her was an afterthought. I wanted to go visit her the morning we were set to head back to Arizona, however she had a paricularly bad night so Grandma thought it was best if we didn't go. I regret this decision. I hate myself for not staying another day to try again.

For awhile now...

I have been sick. I thought maybe it was the 2 jobs and too much stress. My symptoms were light headedness, headaches, and nausea. At my last doctors visit some tests were ran and I have been dianosed with type 2 diabetes. I gotta say this sucks. So, I'm now on medication and have spent a good deal of time figuring out what I can and can't have. I can now easily stay with in the proper glucose levels. On the other hand, some days a big plate af spaghetti or a simple chocolate bar are almost more temptation than I can take. I have a wonderful support system at work, but not at home, so weekends are the hardest. I still have the tiredness, maybe I have one too many jobs. I look forward to the summer and shorter hours.
