Sunday Sep 12 Day 102

Last nights storm was a doozie. Thunder right overhead, lightning all over the place and, of course, buckets of rain. The lights were out several times and one time for about 45 minutes. It is very interesting to try and keep ones self entertained when there is no light and your computer’s batteries are getting low. Along comes the Ipod to the rescue. I just cuddled down in my thermal blanket and listened to my book. I wasn’t tired so there was no threat of falling asleep, which is the major problem with listening to a book while lying down. I had gotten wet walking back up the hill after getting myself a dozen bananas and a good shot of exercise. Here I was wet from rain on the outside of my clothes and wet on the inside of my clothes from perspiration. I needed to dry off so I wrapped myself in the thermal blanket and after about 3 hours I was only damp and rather comfortable.

Now today’s weather report. Light rain and mist (shorthand is LR&M). Temperature is 61 degrees.

I went back to bed at 9 am and woke up at 11:30. I think I overdid it yesterday on the exercise bit because my blood sugars are 60 this morning where they had been in the low 200’s for the last several days. I have had several episodes of low blood sugars before my lunch and dinner based on too much exercise and not enough food to last me between meals. Getting this delicate balance is still a work in process.

I have felt too bad today to even play computer games. I have spent most of the day in bed reading or listening to a recorded book.
