I'm drinking Chartreuse. Very good stuff.

And I just watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIXUgtNC4Kc

It's awesome.


I am very calm

Well, I got the test done. I was right, it wasn't the pain at all. Compared to my sciatica in the summer of 2007, most pain is minor in comparison. It was all about the needles, and once it was in I was fine. And I just got the test results back this morning. My mother drove all the way down here by herself to be here with me. My fasting glucose levels were 104 that morning, which is higher than it should be (normal range is 70-100). So, it was borderline, but at least my pancreas is still making insulin, which is a complete relief. I'm also feeling a lot better, eating smaller meals, cutting all fruit except berries out of my diet, no caffeine, no alcohol, and definitely no simple sugars.

Though, I feel exhausted. My mother is a whirlwind right now. She's coming down from mania associated with a huge festival she put on last week, and it is sort of driving me nuts. But I'm glad she's here.

Anyway, I probably just need to make these dietary changes and check my blood sugar at home every so often. *huge deep breath*

Three hours of sleep and I'm working from 6am this morning to 11pm tonight.  PRIVATE SECTOR, FUCK YEAH!

On the plus side I actually passed out from exhaustion, meaning I missed our painfully boring staff meeting.

Good news, yes?

I'm so glad it's not full-blown diabetes! I hope it turns out to be easily controlled through careful diet.

Fuckin' hippies.  :lulz:

That first photograph is AMAZING.

SO FUCKING CREEPY.

Yeah, why doesn't his face burn?

TBH, he was always kind of creepy.



The burning pic might make a pretty good WOMP, though.  :lulz:

Stella, that's not "kind of" creepy. That's PANTS-WETTINGLY TERRIFYING.
