A slightly better day

[crowdog66]

Today was slightly better than yesterday, for a few reasons.

1) My blood sugars were crazy bad yesterday: 9.2 before eating lunch and 11.4 two hours after, even though I'd exercised for 15 minutes before taking the first reading. Today before dinner (and after exercising) it was 5.4, and 9.9 two hours after.

2) I exercised for 25 minutes today.

3) I was busting my butt to turn around as many pages as possible for tomorrow to hit the MM payment deadline to have a cheque mailed out to us next week. I thought it was Friday. My editor informed me that the deadline is actually Monday. That equals a LOT more potential money in our pockets at a time when we really, really need it.

4) George was able to help me with MM today, and will continue to help me over the next few days. Again, this will help me earn more money from Marvel.

5) Everyone's replies to my post yesterday helped my state of mind. Thank you all SO much. :-) (Especially you, morgaine_inanna, for your kind offer of financial assistance.) But I think we'll actually be all right... we'll just be eating a lot of tuna and rice until the next cheque comes in.

Tomorrow I go to see my psychiatrist. It won't be a happy meeting -- I went down SO low these last couple of weeks, and it's mostly my own damned fault for letting the exercise regimen go. But I'll pick up some groceries on the way home and hopefully I'll also get a lot more MM pages done.

I'm glad your a bit up today. Sorry for not replying myself to your post, but I've been really depressed these last few days myself. So much so I had trouble getting out of bed, and then from there I literally sat on the couch and watched tv the whole day, and even took a nap on the couch for like an hour, which never happens to me. I feel like shit and I don't know why. So I'm there with you. :(

*BIG hugs* and positive energy

I am so glad today was better for you. I had been hoping and praying it would be.

I'm glad to see that we both feel better now, not just me. *hugs you*
