Sometimes You Have to Laugh

Lately I keep writing and tweeting about how tired I am. It’s true. I am. Always it seems. Last night was no exception.

I had the chance to go to bed early so I took it. By 10 o’clock I hit the hay and fell promptly asleep.

It was like a sauna. I was tossing and turning. I kicked off my covers on to my wife to cool off! Ugh, then I started sweating horribly which finally forced me to wake up. I checked my blood and saw I was at 53 but it was 12:30. Jasmine made me a PB & J to keep me from dropping through the night.

I sat on the edge of the bed waiting for the sandwich and was swaying back and forth. When I heard my wife walked in I was laying down again, which I do not remember doing. I sat up and she handed me the sandwich (really what would I do without her?). It was weird because it was freezing. I mean, so cold I knew there would be no way I could eat it.

I saw the paper plate with the sandwich in my hand but I could not pick it up. I was looking at it, trying to pick it up to eat it but still feeling how cold it was. It was the most confusing thing I have ever had happen to me.

My left hand was holding the paper plate with the sandwich and my right hand was touching this cold sandwich but I could not lift it. It was at this point that I realized I had my hand on a diet soda that I asked Jasmine to bring for me to wash the sandwich down.

I started laughing hysterically.

“What?” My wife was half asleep too and had no clue what the heck I was cracking up about. How could I explain it?

“Nothing. I’ll tell you tomorrow. Thanks.”

It was so funny for some reason. Probably not the time to laugh your butt off but you know this disease can catch us off guard which can be funny.

Have you ever had a low or a moment that cracked you up like this? I have been disoriented before but this was a new level.

Let me know. I would love to laugh too.

Laughter is good medicine.

You Tube Tuesday #87

This video made me laugh out loud this morning. I came into work in a lousy mood but this helped.

At first I thought, "what the heck is this?" Then I thought, "man, entertainment has come a long way!" And then I thought, "this is so weird." Then I started to giggle and finally exploaded in laughter.

Enjoy.

Living on Fumes

As far as I can tell, days have not gotten longer and yet, we seem to cram more and more in each day! This weekend was filled with so much stuff. Good stuff mind you but a lot of it.

With that, I am dragging. And for a ninja, that is not safe at all.

Friday night I spent working on the slide show presentation for our Sunday church service. I typically do this on Sunday mornings during the first (traditional) service for the second (contemporary) service but I knew I was not gong to have time come Sunday. You will understand why. After that was done I needed to get all the stuff I needed for my meeting on Saturday. And let's not forget the Vlog recording and uploading also.

Saturday morning I was up and out of the house at 6:15 and on my way to Palmdale which is an hour and a half away for my Via De Cristo team meeting. VDC is a spiritual weekend that I am involved in. You may have heard of Cursillo which VDC is an expression of.

Anyhow, while I was there until 4:30, my son was running in his first invitational cross country meet. He came in 71st with about 600 boys running in this race. He got a medal (all those finishing 90th and better did) and said that he could have had a better time without all the traffic. Oh, he is gonna love commuting one day.

My daughter’s soccer coach told the team to get the park at 2pm for the 2:30 game except that their game was at 8:30 in the morning! That annoyed not only my daughter but the team and all the parents too!

After all this stuff we were at a 50th Birthday fiesta for my mother in law and my cousin in law (if that is a real thing.) It was fun except that I was exhausted. I wish I could have had a little more energy but I ended up leaving at 10 and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow (I did wake up at 3am and tossed and turned until morning but I am becoming used to that).

On Sunday I sang with 3 other friends a song at the early service which is why I had to do it on Friday. After that service and the contemporary one where I lead the band, we went over to my cousins to spend some more time with the in laws and other family that came in from out of town for the party. It was good seeing them all.

And then Gillian and I went out to my sisters house in Upland (about an hour away) to feed her kitties and make sure they were okay. Her soon to be sister in law is checking on them also but I told her I could check on them on Sunday. That was before I thought about the whole family event. When I got home at 7 on Sunday from all this stuff I thought I was going to cry. I was so tired. I watched a few episodes of the X-Files season 3 and went to bed.

I feel like I am constantly on fumes.

Ugh.

The Week's Report - A Question for You

George did great yesterday. He said that he started off a little too strong but finished well. His coach said he was the only one who sprinted at the end like he was supposed to.

I am quite proud of the little bugger. He has his first invitational meet on Saturday where he will run only with other freshman. That should be interesting since yesterday’s run was with all grades.

I was going to attempt to record a Vlog post last night but I was too busy running around, driving my sister to the airport, and Instant Messaging a good D-friend of mine. It made for a fun night.

This week has been rough as far as my numbers go. I have been up high for a lot of the time only to get woken up but a lovely shaky sweaty low at 3:15 this morning. Then I could not go back to sleep.

Should I do some fasting basal rate checks? Why have I been running so high? Maybe if I got my fat ass back into Weight Watchers I would not run high. Maybe my co-worker was right? Heck no. Mean is never right. What am I doing? I need to sleep! Why do I love bacon so much?

And on and on the thoughts go. So annoying.

Anyhow, when I get home I am gonna try and vlog. Any thoughts on a subject? I have some things knocking around in my brain but I would love suggestions if you have any.
