I Have Made Vast Improvements.
Completely over my cough... almost.. just a slight one every so often... but no more than normal... I went to my regular doc yesterday... and to the Endocrinologist yesterday... my A1c is 7.7... down from 9.1 just 3 months ago, which is good considering I went through Christmas season and it didn't go up. I'm at 200 pounds though now and I feel I should lose about 25 - 30 pounds. I would be more active, but it's very difficult this time of year. Most of my other numbers from the lab will be back early next week.
On the plus side, I might get to be a firefighter at work... I will go out west with some of my student and fight wild land fires a few times a year for 2 weeks at a time... mostly as a support role... I am working on training them for GIS.. computerized mapping. We will see what time holds for that. I feel like I am not getting a whole lot accomplished, but that's okay.. we all go through those spells where the rut occurs. This time I'm not going to let it get me down... I am going to maintain my positive outlook.
I have decided this year for lent I'm going to give up... carbonated beverages.... talk about difficult... that might be as hard or harder than the time I gave up masturbation for Lent. ...yeah.. I know stupid ideas, but.. it's supposed to be the idea of giving up as a sacrifice... something that would be a challenge. I'm not sure if I will run out of ideas... but one of these years soon.. I might have to reuse a few of my previous ideas.
I am still trying to work on my taxes... but can't get much info from my daughter or my ex about her college fees. I am not sure how that will work anyway, but if I don't take my daughter I will owe a little more in the way of federal tax... even though I have already paid in $10,500 for federal tax alone. I'm working on getting into something a bit more constructive with my free time. I was going to use my refund to buy a good bike... but I guess that won't be happening this year... I'll keep an eye on Facebook and on Craigslist... there are lots of stuff for sale both places.
It seems every time I start making friends with my neighbors... they move on me.. either they have health issues... or financial issues... or something happens... I'm not sure who will be moving in next... but I only know one couple now... out of 6 apartments in my building... I have usually tried to be a little more social than that... I suppose it's the way of life. It goes to show I'm not the only one with problems... and I know my problems are not nearly as big as some.
Well.. it's almost 6:30 am... and time for me to finish getting ready to head out soon. I look forward to seeing what the day holds... a complete turnaround from just a few years when I was only trying to make it through the day to get to the next. I have made vast improvements!
