I checked my cell phone clock and saw it was 1:58 and still not movie (but lots of insipit ads that were getting worst with each repetition). At 2:08, I went to the front desk and said "the movie was suppoed to start at 1:50". The kid behind the desk ran off to start the projedtor. About 2:10, another teenager came to ask "did you get the time from the website, sir?" "Yes." "The movie is supposed to start at 2:25. You can walk around the mall if you want?" "No, thanks, I'll just5 wait here." I made a remark about their insipic which "sucked incredibly". The kid wsas shocked (I suppose he doesn't actually watch his theater's ads...)

    by the time I started watching the movie, the cheese dip was quite cold...


    Dinner: At the Mexican place in the local mall, two items that were basically hamberger, refried beans and "Mexican" rice. I drank water with this dinner. After I got home, I took my evening pills and nearly gagged before I got them down. I could tell my stomach was upset...

I finally got up, took a couple MucinexDM (for the post nazal drip) and a couple of Tums for the stomach and went back to bed after a while.

    I lost track of my recordings and those in green are the only records I bothered with.

    Being diabetic, I have to keep track of what I eat. (I haven't done a good job of maintaining this blog for most of this year...)

    I should also keep track of how much I urinate after going to bed; this is an indication of how poorly I am dealing with my blood sugar. Hence ≤2 and >2 for how long I was abed before having to "offload" (units are in hours).

    "v" is for vomiting. I've had the diabetic stomach problems and sometimes wonder if it is the food I've eaten or damaged nerves. A trait of diabetes (or so I'm told) is nerve damage that leads to poor emptying of the stomach into the intestines...

    I know this is terribly self-involved but if I don't fret over this, who will?

    About two hours before bedtime, I felt the familiar signs of "I'm-going-to-vomit-an-hour-after-going-to-bed". So, I waited till my wife walked our dog and induced the vomiting. After spuewing the usual discoloured liquids, I felt much better. I still chugged some "Pink" (Pepto Bismol).

    I really should see my Family MD about this...

    14 November 2008

    Breakfast: Oatmeal, one slice sour dough bread with about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, a bananna and a cup of coffee. (My boss was trying to get rid of cake leftover from yesterday's office luncheon yesterday.)


    Snack:
    I had a couple of meatballs and a bannana.


    Lunch:
    Container of strawberry yogurt, an orange and (at home) a tuna samwhich on a slide of sour doubh bread and a can of DP.


    Dinner:
    Stewed chopped up pork chop, slightly undercooked stewed (sliced) potatoe and too much sour krat; I drank water with dinner. This combination lead to a blood sugar reading 3! points lower than when I got up this morning!

    NOT FOR MY WIFE'S EYES

    There was a bit of a problem with boiling the pork chop.

    I had worked the 4 am to noon shift and was very tired. So, after I put the pork chops on hot, to bring the water to a boil for a few minutes, I sat down by the computer and zoned out. I completely forgot the boiling water, which I had planned on reducing to a simmer after a few minutes.

    I didn't remember them until the house was filled with dense smoke and the smoke detector went off. I checked the pork chops and the b ottoms werew burnt black, while the top was seriously overcooked.

    The important thing is the house was filled with smoke and it was November. The gboog think is that it was a nice day and I opened the window in the main bedroom; both my cats went up onto it. I then turned the fans on in both bathrooms and over the stove. I also opened both the front and back doors and started wasiting for the house to air out.

    It took almost three hours before the house stopped smelling like smoke. I waited a bit longer and then shut the windows, the doors and turned the fans off.

    When Kathie got home, she mentioned how smoky the house was. I didn't have the nerve to tell her what happened...

    Lunch: I went to the Jetmore Lions Club and had salad with cottage cheese and thousand island dressing, roast beef, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, a roll with butter and water.

    Snack: Sadly enuf, I had the munchies (or at least a craving for sweets) and had a small Diary Queen ice creamme cone dipped in choclate. This coast me $2.18! Two dollars and eighteen cents for a fucking ice creamme cone and a small one at that! I can see what this "Dairy Queen" never has many customers; they've priced themselves out of the market even if they are the only decent ice creamme place in town!

    Dinner: Boneless chicken boiled in water and some wine, a small baked potatoe, boiled cabbage and after dinner a singel "Little Debbie" sugar coated donut.

    I used to be a Navy Drug and Alcohol Drug Advisor and know drugs, alcohol and Navy programmes (in the 1980s).

    _________water water



    Snack:
    A bananna about two hours after starting to eat dinner...


    The sad thing about working Veterans Day is that I often work it and if it is on a weekday, my wife has to work too. We are both Navy veterans and it would be nice to go to the military cemetary and watch the old vets march by and maybe join them. Still, there is hope for next year (but not much).

    • hash brown potatoes,
    • two slices of what was supposed to be "whole wheat bread" with grape jelly,
    • some ice water and
    • three cups of coffee.
    I'm not supposed to be eatting the potatoes or grape jelly or having any coffee let alone three cups. Oh, well, Anne (my new diabetes educator), I am cutting down as you told me to do... :)


    Lunch: 1 ½ rubben samwhiches and a can of DP.

    Snack: three little sugar coated donuts and at work, a frozen meatball warmed in the microwave oven with some mustard put on before I ate it.

    *choclate brownie
    *vinilla ice creamme
    *fudge sauce
    *one cherry
    Well, it came with two cherries, the brownie was hard as rock, there was very little ice creamme and no Fudge syrup.

    We complained and the Evening Manager took this "desert" off our bill. In the past, the Dodge City Montana Mike's typically is missing at least one ingredient of this desert. This is the first time an ingredient has been inetable!

    Being diabetic, I have to keep track of what I eat. (I haven't done a good job of maintaining this blog this year...)

    I should also keep track of how much I pee after going to bed; this is an indication of how badly I am dealing with my blood sugar. Hense ≤2 and >2 for how long I was abed before having to "offload".

    "v" is for vomiting and "s" for shit (actually diarrhea). I've had the diabetic stomach problems and sometimes wonder if it is the food I've eaten or damaged nerves. A trait of diabetes (or so I'm told) is nerve damage that leads to poor emptying of the stomach into the
    intestines...

    1 November 2008

    Breakfast: At the Kwainas pancake feed:
    • Two pancakes,
    • two sausage patties,
    • two patties of butter,
    • some no sugar pancake syrup and because they ran out,
    • some regular pancake syrup.
    • Also, two cups of coffee and a cup of water.


    Lunch: A large hamberger and a can of DP, with a largish handful of dark choclate "choclate chips" for desert.


    Snack: coffee...



    Additional Snacks:Twice, I had some of the left over frozen meatballs (that I left in the office). The first time, I had one. The second time, I warmed two meatballs up in the microwave, put Worchester Sauce and mustard on them and washed them down with a little bit of coffee...

    I had been feeling tired and weak all afternoon and had the occasional stab of hunger. I was thinking that I could be experiencing hypoglycemia but we type 2s aren't supposed to get that...

    Dinner: Healthy Choice® Cafe Steamers™ Cajun Style Chicken & Scrimp (Chicken Breast & Scrimp With Rice & Vegetables In Cajun Style Sauce), a bag of CHEEZ-ITs and a can of DP.

    It was a couple of hours after finishing dinner that I remembered to take my evening pills. SHIT!
