I’ve been taking a lot of blood glucose readings over the last few weeks. When I’m missing a meal, it can drop into the sixties, but otherwise the morning fasting is usually in the seventies and it’s in the normal range all day long. I still want to catch it a couple more afternoons when I’m feeling stupid.

I dreamt I was in Las Vegas, New Mexico the other night. I had borrowed John Lujan’s car (I’m pretty sure John was using arm braces, and I kind of had a date with him, and then I kind of got out of it and borrowed his car to go somewhere.)

And I was bleeding like I used to before my surgery, with great big clots of blood. In fact, I was using the bathroom at my Aunt Helen’s house and I was feeling bad because the whole toilet was going to need to be cleaned when I was done.

I had been sleeping out in the park and then went to my Aunt Helen’s house to use the bathroom.

I had wheeled a walker out into a park that was toward the Junior high, but it was so pretty! And the walker kind of turned into a treadmill, because I set it up and I was walking and walking but not going anywhere. And then I lay down and went to sleep. And when I got up, I knew there was going to blood on my clothes.

Really, I’m lucky a werewolf or a vampyre didn’t find me! All that blood.

SweetPea and I have our first weaves class tonight. I cleaned out the manners minder and replaced the batteries in the remote. I haven’t trained her to use it yet, though!

We already had dinner: Filipine eggs. I had cooked rice last night and then today I cooked the garlic in butter and then cooked the rise in the garlic butter, and put the plates in the oven to keep warm till Luz came home and fried the eggs.

 

OH! I started crocheting a Princess Leia for Joanne this weekend, but I think A) I’m using too big a hook and B) I’m miscounting rows in the head, because it keeps coming out huge! I have one in “buff” and one in “caffe latte.” Then I ran out of white yarn when I was making the dress. The brown one I’m putting in in pink top and she’s either going to be a Virgen de Guadalupe or a Zuni revolutionary.

I also posted about my current bear:Somehow this bear came out way smaller than my others. I'm going to use more of the yarn from my nephew's slippers, but for pants instead of top (like I did for my Tang Tang bear), and this bear can be Didi—“younger brother” for Tang Tang's little brother, Ole.
This will be a good reference for when I make the bears of my Dad and my uncle.
I was going to make this bear the Tío Antonio bear, with overalls, but will wait to do that till I get the right colors for the Fonsito bear.
Luz has an online (web?) class today for an organizing program. 10-2 (yikes!)I think I’ll take the dogs to Alameda for part of that. We can have a walk. I can get some yarn. Should be ok.
The chickens are out enjoying the sunshine and working the garden. we forgot to feed them on Thursday until the evening, so I’ve been trying to be more attentive to their needs. I cleaned and filled their water tank, and I’ve been trying to hang them up greens to eat.
