Warning: Pity party ahead

Please feel free to skip me today- I’m going to whine a bit and you’re the friends I whine to, aren’t you lucky?

I’m sick of not feeling good. I first began feeling bad in Nov. I was having muscle cramps all over, night sweats, coughing, so tired all the time and when I finally went to the doctor. She managed to fix the cough, but told me about the diabetes.

I’ve done pretty well with that. I’m doing really well about staying away from the things I should avoid, not quite so well at eating the

things I should. Veggies and I still aren’t good friends, but at least we nod and speak once and a while. I was even beginning to do a little more exercising. And then I get slammed with another cold – and it was a doozie. Thankfully, when I felt the worst I out for the snow storm and I stayed home and rested.

Then, as I was beginning to feel better I started wheezing – I’ve never wheezed, but it was driving me nuts. I didn’t feel that bad, and I didn’t feel out of breath at all, but the sound of it made me crazy! I have a good ear and a bad ear, falling asleep at night I just bury my good ear in the pillow and I never heard a thing – however, it amplifies the wheezing!

Ugg! Back to the doctor and she gives me an inhaler. Great. But it has seemed to help, unfortunately I have the cough back. I’m sore from coughing and annoyed with all the problems that accompany coughing at my age. I’ve even managed to give this cold to Nick. I’m sure he’s thrilled with me. We’re both feeling pretty draggy.

Because of all this there has been no spanking at our house and no sex either – and worst of all I haven’t even missed it. I would at least like the desire back. (I told you this was a pity party and you should have gone elsewhere to read.)

All right some good news, my sugar is staying between 105 and 120 and I’ve lost about nine pounds in the last six weeks. Slow and steady they say. I know the cold has to go away some time and once Nick and I are feeling better I’m sure other things will pick up. Until then – I miss you. This is all I have to write about, so I haven’t been posting much. You’ll hear more from me here and in comments as I start feeling better. You know me I can’t keep my mouth shut long.
