Who's reading CreativeWoman (614):
I don't really know what to write about tonight.  I just feel compelled to write.  So, be warned...this is one of my rambles.

Today my family gathered to take my mom out for Mother's Day lunch.  I dressed up.  For the first time since my toe amputation I wore a shorter skirt that showed off my legs.  I gave up the fear that I always had to wear socks and wore comfortable shoes that matched my navy and white outfit.  I looked really good, not to toot my own horn.

My best friend drove down to join us.  I'm really glad she did.  Her mom died a year ago and this gave her something to help her through the day.  They were very close.  She stayed until early evening.  I think she enjoyed the distraction.  She got the tour of my parents' new home and we all had a nice visit there.

My remaining big toe is sore.  It looks like I've bruised it somehow.  I imagine that I've whacked it on something, kept going, and didn't think about it until the soreness appeared.  I know that I worry far too much about this sort of thing.  I guess I'm a little gun shy.

This might be a good night to listen to my meditation CD when I go to bed.  I need some happy thoughts.

My blood sugar was ok about an hour ago, so I know I did ok eating today.  I forgot my blood glucose monitor when I left the house.  So, I didn't test as often as I normally do.  I did try to be sorta kinda good.  All is alright in that department.

I got the pictures back from Snapfish and they turned out awesome.  They were a big hit.  I put them in an album and gave them to my parents.  They seemed very happy to get them.

I keep dreaming about yarn and the things I can make with it.  I've got a loom project going right now and I'm really wanting to try crocheting a rug soon.  I think the law of attraction is at play here.

I suppose this is getting long enough.  If you've read it all, I thank you.

    Here we go with dreams.   I've been updating my collection of movie dvds that I copied from the ones I rent and putting them slowly into an external hard-drive that I got for my laptop.  I like that one because I just plug it in to the laptop and it takes it's power from there.
    Trying to organize them as I go along of course I did a fair amount of watching movies this last week and even the favorite ones that I've seen a dozen times ...  (well...at least more than once for sure) ....  so today...(or rather yesterday as I'm writing this at the wee hrs of Monday morning)... I went with my ex to treat here to a breakfast at a local place ( Denny's ) and then went home to sleep most of the day away.....  (my night)...then got up, showered and had something to eat and took a nap for a couple of hours to get plenty of energy for the graveyard shift, which is easy to work but hard in the sense that you have to fight off your natural instinct to sleep during the darkness of the night and I woke up to get ready with the disappearing wisps of a dream in which a fire-breathing Dragon blow-torched a chain or some restraints of sort and broke them. 
    Could've been remants of that Shrek3 movie that I put in the hard drive and watched a couple of times as I upgraded my player ( to power dvd ultra ) from a site on the net the boys at work turned me on to where you can download for free lots of stuff but you gotta do your homework so you don't download an unwanted virus or trojan.
    But I digress again. 
    Wondering about the dream and what it might mean I Googled dreams and to my surprise I found a Dream Dictionary.   With a search engine even !
    You have to play around with it for a bit but according to that the Dragon dream is a good sign for me and taking control of my life (or my emotional well being).
     
    Well that is my ramble for the day CW and sorry I don't tend to do that or hijack your blog but I guess I got carried away.
     
    Have a good day and I'm glad that your sugar level is under control.

    Paper,
    Thank you, but I woke up tired.  :-(

    Rc,
    I always enjoy hearing about you.  Dreams fascinate me too.  I've started reading a book that is called Creative Dreaming.  That movie site sounds very interesting.  I hope you rested well too.

    superbozo,

    Well it sounds like you had quite a pleasant weekend!  I bet you did look fantastic in your outfit for Mother's Day.  That would have been so neat to sit down and share a photo album like that among family members, I admire that you went to the trouble of doing that.  Oh, and he he, you were good this weekend ... but I think I may have had one cosmopolitan too many, lol, BUT I made up for it by walking about 5 miles yesterday, about double what I normally do.
  • CreativeWoman said on May 11, 2009....
    Hege,
    I did look mighty fine.  lol

    I had dessert at lunch yesterday, but it was just a bite size chocolaty taste of heaven and I stopped there. 

    I've been lifting my hand weights and I'm sore.  My elbows hurt the most.  I'm such a pansy.  :-)

  • Hegemone said on May 11, 2009....
    Lol, oh, hand weights are better than nothin', you are not a pansy, lol.  I had the most fantastic end of a mozzarella stick yesterday ... those things are SOOOO off limits but I couldn't resist since it was one bite.  That one bite could have been equivalent to all the mozzarella sticks in the world to me for how good it was.  Sometimes that's all it boils down to, just one bite ... just allowing myself to have something and then stopping, instead of telling myself no and driving myself crazy.
  • CreativeWoman said on May 11, 2009....
    Hege,
    I'm actually doing a routine with hand weights that I found in Fitness Magazine.  I've been reading that it's a really good activity for diabetics.  The big plus for me is that it is over quickly and I haven't felt like I've exercised.  Plus, I'm not worn out for walking later.

    Food deprivation usually sets me up for a catastrophe. A little taste of something I enjoy now and then keeps me from throwing in the towel and having a really rebellious eating binge.

    I'm glad you enjoyed the mozzarella stick.

    I am glad that you had a good day, hope that sore toe is alright., It's always  nice to be commented on how nice you looked.
  • CreativeWoman said on May 11, 2009....
    MsStar,
    My toe is much better today.  I think the shoes I had on must have created a little pressure on my toenail.  I'm back in my Crocs today and it feels good.

    It was very nice to get compliments.  :-)

    I'm glad you keep a good eye on your blood sugar.  That's what keeps it manageable.

    cuppajava,
    It was a pretty good day.  It's always nice to get together with people that are special to me.

    Yes, I know.  It's a bit of a pain sometimes, but I do it.
