Doctor appointment went well
I'm very happy to report that everything is good. According to the scale in the doctors office I am down 20 lbs since June. That makes me VERY happy! It gave me the little push of motivation I needed this week after a disappointing last few days of weight gain. Even though my bs has been sitting in the 200's I don't have to add insulin with my meals, but the dr. upped my oral meds...I think I'd rather take more pills than more shots. 
She's pretty happy with my overall health, thank goodness.
I also had my diabetic eye exam yesterday evening and all is great on that front also. I just HATE the part that they put the numbing drops in and then the dialating eye drops. Driving down the road afterwards was a HUGE joy...NOT. Every headlight looked like a starburst and it was bugging me, my kids got a huge kick out of it though. At least I was entertaining. 
Today, my final appointment...I see the nutritionist. I hope she can give me better advice than, "Go on the South Beach Diet".
I'm so happy to go to work today...I have new contacts, so I can see, AND my boss is at an all day conference out of the building. I can actually get my work done. I have spent the last 2 days doing the work of someone else and I didn't even finish that...I let her take the fall for her own mistake. If you don't want to read about my complaint, don't go further....
So, the coordinator, for one of the programs that we're in charge of in my deptartment, had a training last night for over 125 people. She comes into my office on Thursday (1/2 before it's time for me to leave) with a huge pile of papers (most of which have not yet been copied) to put together in a folder for each participant. She says she needs some help getting some of the copies made...no problem I can do a couple pages before I leave, but only if I finish up with another project that I'm working on...something else she should have done, but didn't. I didn't have time to do her copying that night because I was still working on the other project, so I told her that I could put together whatever packets she wasn't able to finish that night. I come in yesterday morning...NONE of the packets had been put together and NONE of the photo copying had been done...so I start on them because it's going to take me all day to get these done...and that's if I have help. So, I start on it, then get a call from my boss that she wanted more information about the students for their confence today. That was my first priority and the other stuff can get worked on when the coordinator comes it. Guess what...she called in sick. So, I ended up rushing around to get the supplies she needed for the training, plus the paperwork for the conference today and finally the photocopying done for the packets. I put 10 packets out of the 125 and left the rest for the coordinator to do, she said she was going to come in later in the day to make sure I had all of her supplies together. I hope that shows her that I have my own work to do and I'm not her secretary...I'm not anyone's secretary. She was hired to do the things for her program.
Ok, I'm off my rant and feel much better. I'm off to work and promise that I won't hurt anyone.
