Hello, relief! Very happy for you, Jess.

So pleased to hear that, Jess!

Hil, I hope this summer is exactly the recharge you need!

Yay good drugs, Jess!

I cleaned up most of my bedroom, and I sent the doctor a message asking whether my additional blood test results are back yet. Still need to call the psychiatrist about missing the appointment yesterday.

OK, called the psychiatrist and left a message.

Good girl! I need to do some of that calling stuff since my doctor would like to see me take a few tests. I will.

Did get blood work back. Again, borderline girl. Like probably 20 years at this level or a bit lower. A1C at 5.7% which is exactly on the borderline of PRE diabetes, and glucose of 109, which some doctors call borderline too, while some say 100 and others 129. Note to self, no cookies the day before testing! My neighbor brought me some chocolate cookies his sister sent him from Peru and it would have been super rude not to eat some, right? Still no cholesterol results which I was more worried about than the sugar since I would instantly recognize symptoms if my sugar was out of whack.

In the biz story on my labs! I knew instantly that my lab results were in because part of my job is to manually file labs that don't file automatically because the name or DOB is wrong. I do this for all my customers, not just my doctor. Someone on the lab order had a typo in my last name so mine bounced out to be mapped. Ha! I saw them before the doctor.

My beloved spouse was just diagnosed with diabetes the morning and he's pretty bummed. His doctor advised a ketogenic diet. so it's gonna be lots of eat and cheese chez Scrappy.

It is an adjustment, but with fixing the diet the craving for banned stuff goes away too. If it can be controlled by diet that is better than taking meds, IMO.

I'm done with Vampire Ball prep! The outfit is done, and the flower crown was finished last night with only one minor burn from the hot glue gun.

Yay! Looking forward to pictures, Atropa.

I've prepared myself for the doctor call by checking my labs for the past 20 years. Glucose in 1999 was 102, followed in 2000 thru 2018 with scores of 112, 95, 106, 100, 103, 104, and this year 106. He can't say I am not consistent. If he wants I can pay a bit more attention and no doubt keep it under 100.

I just realized that the landlord is using the upstairs apartment as an AirBnB. (And I feel kind of stupid that, in all the "sketchy things that might be going on upstairs" thoughts that have run through my head in the past few months, based on the noises I've been hearing up there, that one never occurred to me, even though it probably should have been the most obvious.)
