So this means we are all going to Austrailia for Christmas?...to hold hands with Cathy's son and daughter mayBe....Wow....I'm not sure I can really go right now.

Last night was something else with this eclipse....when the going got rough I decided to use my pad with all the magnets in it, I woke up at 2 am and threw it out of bed...which was so full of static electricity it was lit up like an "sheet" of blue colored lightening as I did that....went back to bed, could hardly breathe, woke up just before 4 am...settled down again to terrific dreams....I had bought an house over on the coast..which I've done several times now in my worst night mares...and the tide is coming in...and forgets to receed..ever so gently...ebbing in an out... I watch it hit my house...and of courser eventually makes it to where I have to leave because it's getting about waist high in water inside, little at a time...I run into my neighbor, and I keep saying..."Forget it and let's all leave before we can't. Well beside my house there was an street to the beach and it's now an incoming stream of an sorts....we make it out, but have problems...I always wake up about the time we are calling in an helicopter from the coast guard because our vehicle either can't cross an road for the water...or is to high and stalls on us, water all around us and in one case it's hitting an older two story house like it does when it crashes over rocks, with an spray of water on the other side...that over with...I felt like my insides were just "racing" in my head. I woke up this morning with an headache and both my arms sore from all this action.  My back was bothering me also. But so far...no big earthquakes anywhere...and I haven't' cracked any "crystals' as I have in the past.I thought about getting them last night but the pad was closer and supposedly to be more stronger....for grounding. Hubby just left to go get us our main Christmas tree for the livingroom area..its' usually an tall one for the cathderal ceiling we have...I thought my son was going with him, I guess not or else they are meeting somewhere maybe. I've been up an coouple of hours, but I still feel like my arms have been through an vigorous excerise routine. Lots to do today if I want to wrap up decorating the house by tomarrow.  Have an good weekend everyone. Enjoy the season.

Hello Friends! I wanted to check in and say Merry Christmas to one and all! 

Work is going well. I am still very grateful to be working after being unemployed for so long. I hoe I never forget this feeling because not having a job is one of the scariest feelings.

I am especially blessed to have medical insurance as only four weeks ago I was diagnosed with diabetes. Talk about scary! I was blind sided as There is no history of it in my family. However, I don't know much about my father's family except that my father is one half native American (His mother, my grandmother, is of the Cheyenne nation). According to my doctor, Native Americans are genetically predisposed to diabetes, and that is very likely where I get it from. 

Having said that, After only three weeks on medication and adjusting my diet, my life style, and my exercise habits, my glucose readings are completely normal. My doctor is astounded and tells me that she has every confidence that I'll be able to come off medication and control it with diet and exercise.

I am very blessed and though I am not happy to have been diagnosed with diabetes I am approaching it as a wake up call to take better care of myself and enjoying the education I am getting. Go ahead...ask me anything about it and I can probably tell you the answer! I am going to be the healthiest diabetic you ever saw! ;-)

It's great to see you Diana and I am so glad your job is going well, but really sorry to hear about the Diabetes. I guess you have got it taped though if you have managed to get your glucose readings to almost normal.  Keep up the good work! Kiss
