Started out blood sugar was 113 not so bad. Had cottage cheese for breakfast. Just did not want much of anything. Poked around and ended up going back to bed. Long conversation with Alex. Very enlightening Lynn called, Larry came home and changed his boots seemed he wore his cowboy boots to work this morning he was not awake. Had a bunch of errands to do out most if the day. Picked up another 400 pounds of cow manure. Got some meds. Had to return a print cartridge to Wal Mart I think they just like to give me a hard time.But all is well that ends well. Got what I needed and bought a pineapple for a dollar. I cant eat it but Larry and his mom really enjoyed the last one. So I picked a nice yellowey one smells good ! Got some strawberries too I love those ! This was a good batch too. Blood sugar at almost 6 was 96 lunch had been salad and tunasalad then off to the post office. Got a note from one of my brothers today thats cool . Always a pleasure to hear from some of your familly. Found some popscicles 14 calories no sugar no fat no gluten and 4 carbs 1 gram of fiber YES ! a creamsicle man they are good too. They have a few grams of that sugar alcohol though. They say you have got to watch those. Have to do some research on that. The Atkins bars have lot of sugar alcohol.  So have not bought any more of those. And gave up on the Special K bars   Just have to figure out what works for me. Or works best. Got a phone call this evening from an old friend of mine we sort of grew up together. She was telling me I ought to consider having weight loss surgery that it would greatly improve the chances of getting off the meds if you loose a large amount of weight. That is a thought and will have to talk to the doctor about that. Not that she would be of much help. Who knows...? Supper tonight was salmon croquettes spinach salad and asparagus Larry and mother had fries with thiers. They had a salad with peaches and cottage cheese. Spinach with red onions feta cheese and red wine vinegarette Man that is the stuff ! They serve it over at the health food store. YUM ! I made this at home though. Then you can eat all of it you want. We used to eat a spinach salad with peeled grapefruit sections and poppyseed dressing that was really nice too. All the super foods at one time you know.  So we are off to Texas on Thursday Yee ha Looking forward to the farmers market, who knows what else we will get into while we are there. Got enough mannure and buckets to do some plants now wonder what we can find down there ? At any rate it will be interesting and I will take a break from blogging have to play catch up when we get home. But isn't always the way it goes a million little things to do and get done before a trip like this even if it is only a long weekend. Chewie will go to Lynns house He loves it there and they love him. Well enough for tonight hope we dont get rain tomorrow so I can get the other half of the garage painted.  night all !
