I can't think of much to write about, so I guess I'll just tell you about my day.
My creative juices were flowing this morning, so I wrote a poem. I tried to make it more lighthearted that what I usually write. For some reason, they tend to reflect some sadness these days.
I cooked a turkey breast, homemade coleslaw and some long grain and wild rice for lunch. It was pretty good if I do say so myself.
My blood sugar has been excellent since the doctor's appointment. I really have been trying to relax about it some. We'll see if that continues to help. I'm sure I'll freak just a bit if they change my medication. I am so afraid of side affects. I even have nightmares about it sometimes.
I've been doing laundry. In the process of putting things away, I've been putting some things aside for Goodwill. I sometimes hang on to things for too long. I need to make room for some spring/summer things I've updated with. I really love the new smock type tops and have added a few I found on sale at various times.
Today I bellydanced for an hour. :-) I am able to keep up with the instructional video for the most part. I also did a little practice to some regular music. I'm sure I look silly right now, but I know I won't before long.
I've made plans to go see my sister tomorrow. She has the day off and I will make the drive to see her and her family. I haven't had a good visit with my nephew in a while. He's been texting me about getting a tan. He tans easily and I told him he will get bronze while I turn a nice shade of pink. He countered by saying this will be my year for a golden tan. It's his way of encouraging my walking plans.
The forecast is for more rain. I hate cold rain. This week is supposed to be a bugger but next week is forecast for the 70's. I hope that's true. I need some sun.
My evening plans are nothing special. Ghost Hunters is on in the background. I find the paranormal fascinating. I may do some more writing or some reading. Maybe I'll just float around SC for a while instead.
That's about all the excitement I can stand. :-) Thanks for reading.

Wombat got eaten again....I was saying, I bet I would have liked your poem, but I bet that was personal. Keep dancing and have a nice visit with your sis. And that's great that you are doing well with your blood sugar! You are on a roll, so keep rolling along! -

Hi CW, it sure looks like a great day... I am interested in the belly dance.. I've been dying to try it even at home, but haven't found CDs I could use yet, I have my own steps though.
Anyway, goodluck on your "date" with your sister!! :D

Lioness,
I got my instructional dvd for bellydancing at a Borders bookstore. I haven't searched out any actual belly dancing music yet. I do my moves to Pussycat Dolls and Shakira so far. :-)
I'm sure my day will be great with sister except for the cold rain. The company will be great.

SkinnyW, that is wonderful news about your blood sugar! And I think its fab that you're doing the belly dancing. . .it must be great exercise and fun too! Just to fill you in, I've lost 5.5lb since joining Slimming World and I hope that when I go to weigh this evening I will at least be down another 1.5lb, which means I've lost half a stone! In any event I am getting down and hope to reach 70kg by the first weekend in May when we go camping.Its really nice to hear that you are doing well!Love Polar -

Sounds great CW!
I was curious, and forgive me if this is dumb, but is there such a thing as diabetic remission?

i hope someday you'll share your bellydancing videos with us!!!! =) -

Lioness,
I'm glad you like the idea. :-)
Polar,
Good for you! I hope you make your goal. :-)
skald,
Thank you. I do love them very much. :-)
Daily,
I don't think they actually call it remission, but you can improve well enough to control it with diet and exercise. That's for type 2 and especially if you lose weight. I think type 1 always requires insulin.
queen,
I'll do a post on the video I'm using. I don't know if I'll ever do one of myself though. :-)

i realize now that you've mentioned bellydancing once or twice before. for how long have you been studying, CW? a good friend of mine is also into bellydancing, she's been taking classes at a local studio.

Ed,
I've not been doing it long. I stumbled upon it watching Fit TV. The movements looked like something I could do and I thought it would be fun. So far, I'm really enjoying it. I'm learning at home through a beginners instructional dvd.
