nico1908 | Another strange weekend

I was supposed to volunteer at an event yesterday around 11 a.m., so I forced myself out of bed at 8 because I wanted to call my mom before I had to go to work. While I was talking to her, my boss called and told me I wasn't needed because a bunch of other volunteers had showed up unannounced (gee, thanks, folks!). Since I was up anyway, I walked to our local community center, which is only a block up the road, where they offered free blood screenings for the uninsured.

I hadn't had breakfast, just four cups of coffee with creamer, but my blood sugar was 100, which could indicate "impaired fasting glucose — commonly known as prediabetes". Since I had creamer in my coffee, the nurse recommended I have a "real" fasting test done. *sighs* That's just what I need... another chronic medical condition (not that chronic lower back pain and hypothyroidism are really bad, but they're annoying enough to deal with).

The rest of the day was spent doing laundry, grocery shopping, and watching TV (I'll be so glad when this election is over!). Today was more of the same. There are a dozen things I should be doing, but I don't feel like doing any of it. I managed to force myself to clean the fishtank including the filter and take the laundry off the clothes line, that was all, and I feel totally exhausted. :(

Maybe I should go for a walk, drive that blood pressure up a little...
