I got up on time today, but I did a dangerous thing: I shut the alarm clock off *before* I was standing up... but then I realized what I had done and jumped out of bed. Made it to work on time, just barely. I don't know why I cut it so close, usually I'm at least ten minutes early, if not twenty, but this week it's been getting closer and vloser to 08:00. Fairly busy morning, then I had my doc's appointment at 10:30... only it was closer to 11:00. He spent about 20 minutes with my, and he didn't think that I needed to be on medication for the diabetes at this time, but he did give me a machine to check it daily. Pretty cool little machine, too, it'll take blood from almost anywhere, you don't have to do the fingersticks every damned time. I'll be taking several classes on diabetes at the hospital, and Karen is going to come with me, that'll probably be within the next coupla weeks. The doc also referred me to a chiropractor and kinda surprised me... I'll go see the guy tomorrow. I'm pretty sure that it's a muscular thing, since I'm just fine when I get up in the morning, but consciousness seems to have a bad effect on it. And that pretty well parallels my attitude, come to think of it.... And I have lost five pounds over the last three weeks! I was kinda happy about that, since the only thing that I've done is cut down portion size and quit eating candy bars. Once I start exercising, it'll go a lot quicker. I'm gonna be going in at 07:00 tomorrow so I can get off at 14:30 to see the chiropractor, that way I'll only have to use an hour and fifteen minutes of vacation time.... Which means that I need to get to sleep a little earlier tonight. In the Mail:
