Salty and Sweet

Happy Birthday to MEEEEE!!! WOW! I can’t believe I am 31 years old! I don’t think ANYone can believe that.

So much happened this month! I finally moved into MY new condo. Such an easy move since it is the exact same floor plan as the condo I was renting! Thanks to all who helped me move all of my junk! I couldn’t have done it with out you! Wonder how much movers would charge to move all my stuff one block. My best friend K did the most wonderful thing for me. She made my bed! Something so little, something so simple, but it meant so much. After moving boxes all day, unpacking the most necessary items, nothing felt better than slipping under the covers of a pre-made bed. Such a wonderful, thoughtful thing.

Had another appointment with my diabetes doctor. I practically begged him for an insulin pump. I just can’t mentally handle all these shots. I give myself 5-6 shots a day. Not an easy thing to do especially when I am already not feeling well because of my CF. Darn him for saying it would be a huge “cosmetic” change wearing a pump and I should really think about it. WHAT?!! I am sorry, but when you are raised around medical technology, wearing a little thing the size of a pager 24/7 is not a big deal when it comes to being HEALTHY! I bet he doesn’t have diabetes himself and apparently has no clue what it is like to personally deal with it. ARG.

In a promise to myself to become healthier I joined a gym. I went once, but found myself to tired to go again. I couldn’t get myself to wake up super early to go before work, and if I waited until after work I was so exhausted I couldn’t get the motivation to go. If I get worn down I am more susceptible to infections. I seemed to get more and more tired as the month went on, so I kept skipping out on the gym.

My best friend K finally got her Master’s degree!! YEAAA! Go K! Congrats girl!

I had an old friend surprise me on my doorstep on my birthday. I think that was the best gift anyone has ever given me. I love my friends. Life would suck with out them!

Went to a grand Halloween party. Wish I had remembered my camera. Dressed in a huge black and gold ball gown, with a gold mask and a crown, I named myself the Evil Step-Mother. We had so much fun dancing and playing DJ. Now how am I going to top that costume next year?! Halloween has to be my favorite holiday, I just love dressing up!
