Good News, Bad News, More Bad News

August 29, 2008

Good News:  Went to the Doctor today and my A1C (3 month blood sugar test) is supposed to be below 7% (was over 12% 5 months ago which is almost as high as it gets).  Today it was 6.2%.  Yay!
Bad News:  Went to the doctor because of sharp stomach pains.  I have lots of little [...]

Update

August 28, 2008

WOW!  It was an amazingly beautiful night tonight.

Jamie puts the last piece in the dining room floor.

Steve says to tell Paul, “Another Star for Me.”

First Day of Kindergarten

August 21, 2008

Well, this was it.  The day I’d been dreading all summer.  Lucy’s first day of Kindergarten.  Jamie and I walked her into her building and into the gym where they were doing “Super Start”.  Super Start is a program that kids who are dropped off early get to do and includes games, singing, and other [...]
