had a wonderful evening with my ReImagining group…
so excited when I got home…
my son-in-law had gone and picked up my new treadmill, brought it home and set it up in the basement for me…
spent the next fifteen minutes walking on it in my bare feet to test it out…
the house phone sits on it very nicely and my cell phone, tablet and Kobo are all going to fit well also…
looking forward to reading up on it and giving it a good test walk tomorrow, lol…

had a very busy day today…
slept in until 8, and don’t think I stopped since then, until about an hour ago…
met the kids for breakfast at The Original Pancake House where I got to have my favourite chicken livers and potato pancakes… yum, can’t even remember the last time I had these…
from there we went shopping where I found two pairs of pants and a new scarf… we looked at chairs and treadmills… had our toes pedicured and I even got a dragonfly painted on one of mine…
finally, got this beautiful shot of the sky as we were getting into the car just before I dropped the kids off at the bus stop…
bought groceries, came home and unloaded all my purchases…
had leftover chicken livers for my supper, and napped for an hour… thinking about heading out for a hot tub…

having a problem with my pants… they are getting very loose…
not long ago I had to pin up a pair at work because I was afraid they might fall down…
ones that did fit better are now getting quite loose as well…
think I may need to go out and get a couple of pairs of smaller ones although I do worry whether I can actually fit into the next smallest size…
continue to have more energy and my glucose levels are levelling out…
a few days ago I spoke with my health care insurance providers and discovered that they need a letter from my doctor and will then cover the cost of the strips, which are expensive… looking forward to getting the letter from the doctor when I see her next week… I also need her to include a request for an appointment with a dietitian…
seems like you need a doctor’s letter to get most anything from the insurance company…

this morning I took this picture of the fresh snow on the ground… the window acted like a mirror and so the living room was clear as well…
kind of fun…
busy day and when I got home my grandson arrived to clear that snow…
he stayed for dinner and then headed home… on his way to the bus his dad turned up, on his way home from work, and gave him a ride… that made me happy because it is cold out there…
too chilly to hot tub and I am missing my time out there…
still searching for a good app to keep track of my blood sugar and what I have been eating… the ones I’ve looked at have very complicated food records so I will keep searching…

Shelmerdine spent weeks working on a corner of the Millennium Library Park as the weather turned cold and the snow began to fall… we think part of the construction was a pad for food trucks to park on, but we won’t know until Spring comes… this portion is right behind our building…
the other thing we noticed was balls hanging from the trees…
they weren’t lit for quite a while but about a week ago they started to light up the area… got this shot on the way into the office this morning… still rather dark as you can see…
have been using my SAD light and I think it is helping keep me happier…
came home a bit later tonight and did notice that it is staying a bit lighter in the evening…
looking forward to each additional minute of light…

had lunch with a friend today… we usually get together once or twice a year so there is always lots of catching up to do…
after reviewing the menu I picked something that was healthy and included a salad…
it felt awkward to take my blood sugars in such a public place, particularly as I was worried that my friend might be upset by the process… but, managed to do it inconspicuously which made me feel good…
for my supper I ate very healthy… our BS group was meeting to celebrate Christmas and everyone was bringing something to snack on, so I wanted to be able to taste things…
had a wonderful time sharing treats and small gifts… baking, tourtière, chocolate, oil, an ornament and cooking utensil… all thoughtfully chosen…
a great time with these amazing women who have been part of my life for twenty-five years…
eating has risen much higher on my horizon… now I have to think about everything that goes into my mouth…
