Tired Of Not Feeling Well

Photo: My guy cooking dinner

 Yesterday, was Sunday, Dinner and a Movie. 

I had planned a delicious  meal all week, 

but yesterday morning, I did not feel well and

 cancelled the entire thing. 

I don't think that has ever happened before.

I guess its time to share something.

After many years battling my pre-diabetic A1c,

 with agonizing uti's, and other random 

diabetic related illnesses,

four months ago, I was diagnosed

 with Type 2 Diabetes.

My A1c was 10....and to be honest, 

I was tired of not feeling well.

I have started meds and 

 wear a Dexcom G 15. 

(It is a sensor placed on my upper arm.

  I do not have to stab 

my finger numerous times a day!)

Larry and I have made a conscious decision 

to eat better.

For a Type 2, that means no carbs and no sugars

 with smaller portion sizes. 

Yesterday my diabetic meds 

made me feel awful...... 

and sweet Larry took over the meal.

We had rotisserie chicken, 

salad, and strawberries.

I had 2 glasses of wine 

and my glucose numbers 

did not spike. (YAY!)

Our movie was

 North BY Northwest

that is one of my favorite movies.

Larry did such a good job, 

but I will take care 

of the meal next week.

I hope that you had a wonderful Sunday.

I love you beyond the moon.

How Wonderful Is That?

"The Blues" is home from, Quilt Show 2026.

(Quilting Guild of Plano's Annual show)

I entered this quilt just because. 

I hand pieced each block and I will most likely never 

hand piece another quilt again.

I am not interested in ribbons, or a critique.

I FINISHED THE DARN THING!

But one thing happened that meant the world...

An old friend, Cathy contacted me.

(Cathy lives in another city)

We have not seen each other in years...

she said  that she saw The Blues and commented on

 how nice it was and that I did a good job. 

Someone went out of their way to share how the quilt made her feel.

How wonderful is that?

The center where the quilt show was held is empty today as the show is over.

I wonder if the good vibes from the show are still echoing in the halls?

I hope so.

Love you beyond the moon.

A Quiet Day

 “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”  

~Buddha~

Yesterday was the anniversary of my Mothers death.

I went to the cemetery, said the Lords Prayer

and 

left mom one of my rocks.

Mothers ashes were left in the funeral home for one year after her death, 

while Norman (my father) dated.

Don't you love how "Life goes on"...

and I dislike it too.

It is a beautiful Friday Morning.

I am dressed to go do some fun chores 

and see friends.

It is going to be a wonderful day.

Love you beyond the moon.

Camelot! (Remembering Mother)

 Today I am listening to Camelot. 

Camelot was one of my Mother's 

favorite plays/soundtracks/actors.

(I must admit, I adore it also)

My Mother died on this day in 1995 

after a short, brave battle

with lung cancer,

and life goes on.

How difficult some days have been,

but then a sunny day will appear

and 

I will smile as I remember 

the special moments.

So...to my wonderful Mother,

I miss you so much 

and love you beyond the moon.

Me.

A Birthday Remembered

Photo: My favorite statue

 My Birthday was in June,

and I just remembered that I took this picture.

Larry had activities planned 

and also asked me what I would like to do.

I said that I would like to 

go to the Biblical Arts Museum

in Dallas....

(I had been there once before for a 

Chamber Orchestra Concert 

and wanted to see the 

entire museum after that)

I loved the day with Larry and I love this statue.

Sometimes Birthday moments 

live in our hearts for a long time after the big day.

Love you beyond the moon.
