Hey, Sean!

I just got cc'd on travel plans for DH for FRIDAY. I really wish his boss would give him more notice before taking him out of town on a freakin' weekend for work. Feh.

That sucks, Cashmere. You're DH's boss needs to meet a cluestick.

He's a workaholic who has no kids. He's nice and smart but he seems to think everyone else has as loose a schedule as he does.

I'm sorry, Gud.

Being a good person doesn't mean every marriage will work. And you really are a good man, and have worked very hard in good faith (so to speak) to deal with the issues in your marriage.

I hope it can be saved. And if it can't, I hope you and your wife can deal with it calmly.

God, I couldn't even deal. I am so opposed to the concept of employment owning non-company time (especially weekends). I know that every job is different, and I know this is why i will never make decent money. But, man. I'm pissed off enough that Tom's work is requiring him to go to a social event/company dinner thing on Saturday night.

It's no excuse. The DH and I have both had several bosses who were single and childless and workaholics, but who said "You need your own time, we only rent you for x hours" and stuck to it.

Gud, what Hec said. No playing the Blame Game, especially not at yourself.

(emails Emily some of the stew, which came out yum)

in mememe news, I've been talking to a nurse thru our health insurance. - I guess when they have someone with a chronic disease they like othave them talk with health proffessionals so they ( the paitents) can get more info about the disease in a setting that is not the rush of the doctor's office. The first few calls were kinda annoying - because she knew nothing about me and what i knew about my diseases. Now that she knows me and that i am really invovled in m,y own health issues she is giving me all kinds of info that I had read but didn't truely understand. I had resolved to head back to the gym this weekfor my asthma and High BP. I wasn't sure how much difference it was going to make with the diabetes - some I knew - but I am hopeful it will make a big difference.

I go back tomorrow. Oddly, I am actually looking forward to this. should fid my gym clothes. Migh need new shorts. That's my reward if I go 2x this week.

{{{Gud}}}

I'm famous/notorious at my current job for putting in 12-18 hour days/7-days a week when I think a project requires it. But if you want to see my best mule imitation, try insisting that I come in on a weekend. I'm single and child-free, but that doesn't mean I lack family commitments.

beth, I hope the exercise helps. My grandmother developed Type II (of course, she was much much much much older than you) and just walking and drinking a lot of water had a great positive effect on her blood sugar management. My two cousins who developed Type II in their forties also found exercise to be a big help. For a few years, one of them was able to go med free, once he lost weight, as long as he kept exercising. I'm just mentioning this, because even if you find some sorts of exercise exacerbate your asthma, there may be some types you can do, that will help you regulate your sugar and won't irritate your lungs.
