Good Morning Wednesday!!

It is early not yet 7 a.m. The crazy cat woke me up and I couldn’t fall back to sleep. Of course, I turn the light on and pick up the phone look at Facebook and she then crawls up to cuddle. And now I am ready to get out of bed. She is back laying on the bed as usual.

I made a nice big cup of coffee. I love the smell of coffee in the morning. I usually only drink one or two cups a day. So I have a Keurig coffee maker. It’s actually an off-brand, not the actual Keurig. It does the same job for less than half the price of the brand model.

Yesterday it reached 50 degrees here. The wind was still cool but the sunshine was nice. I did manage to get in 2 long walks. I didn’t get groceries. I am going to do that as soon as I finish my online stuff this morning. I have to do it today. I am out of bananas and oatmeal and vitamin water. I like these little teases of spring with the nice weather. The temp right now is 34 according to my phone. That is crazy for this time of year in Iowa. We do still have patches of snow on the ground. I just saw the 10-day forecast and it looks like it should be staying this way for several days. If we got rain and it stayed above freezing we might get rid of the snow. 🌞

My eyes seemed a bit better yesterday and even better this morning. Yay!!! I read quite a bit yesterday. With little to no eye-watering or itchiness. I really am anxious to be able to get some new glasses. Using cheaters isn’t good for my eyes. I know I just have to be patient.

Next week I have my recheck with my dr. for my diabetes. I have been checking my Blood Sugar 3x a day and recording it for her. I hope she will be happy. I don’t know if she will check the A1c again or not. But I hope there is a big difference. I have been working so hard on this. At times it is so hard. I still crave sugar. But I am being very good. I do need to find some things that I can eat that will kill those cravings.

I am debating if I want to jump back into the dating world. There is someone that I have been talking with for several months and I see occasionally. He is the park maintenance man here. He is my age. His name is Jessie. We have been talking about going out for some time. I put it off because of my Crohn’s disease. Bathroom issues were just so unpredictable. Now that things are better I am trying to get the courage to say yes. We text back and forth and I see him and stop and talk to him. I am just not sure if I want to jump back into the dating pond. It has been a long time.

I am going to stop here and go and shower and head out to the grocery store. And then I can come back and do some housework and hopefully get a few walks in today. It is going to be a beautiful day.
