Monday after vacation is the mondaiest Monday if all.

'Tis.

Just going back to getting up in the dark after sleeping until dawn for the weekend is no fun.

I wish I could find a quick and easy guide to the diabetic exchanges diet. One of the people I support is being put on a weight loss eating plan that is based on exchanges rather than counting calories. I understand the exchanges reasonably well, but I don't think I understand it well enough to explain it to the other staff there who do not know how to or will not bother to count calories accurately enough to make the previous weight loss plan work. (It went well enough previously when there was another staff memeber there who knew how to count calories, but since that other staff member left and I am only at that house two days a week... well, I just can't do it all by myself. And for some reason, bosslady, who usually listens to me on stuff like this, did not respond to my suggestion months ago to have a dietician the newer staff on counting calories and serving sizes.) I looked at some videos on Youtube, but the one that was most promising had audio issues. The others were too long and complicated.

If you know of someone working towards a Masters in Library Science, or a Law degree with library experience, the US Supreme Ct has posted it's summer internships:

I had an insomnia attack last night for the first time in at least a year. Was unable to fall back asleep from 3-5 something despite multiple doses of melatonin, instead I just kept getting more and more anxious and woke up DH so I just got up and took care of my email. Finally at almost 6 I was tired enough I needed go back to bed and slept until my alarm went off at 7:15. Ack. Not a promising start to my going back to work and the kids' spring break when I'm waking up in the middle of the night miserable.

Oh, no, Burrell! I'm sorry.

Sure seems like there ought to be something like that out there, WS. Does the American Diabetes Association or someone like that have educational materials for caregivers you could use?

I am just slow as molasses today, but the rest of my office seems to be as well so I guess we will all sleepwalk through together. Which is kind of nice in a team-building sense, although not great for productivity I am sure.

That bites, Burrell. I'm sorry.

WS, this is pretty basic but it lists calories for each exchange: [link]

This one is also good: [link]

It was in the 40s this morning, and the sweater I normally keep in my office apparently wandered home. Brrr.

So, is anybody here interested in Kpop? Because I have very recently become obsessed with this craziness [link] and it would be great to not feel like I am the only 43 year old American woman with this problem. (My SISTER was like, "... are you going through a second adolescence?")

The high today will be 658, the low 42. The high tomorrow will be 42, the low 31. Wednesday we get snow.
