I dream of lemons...

I had lemon trees in my dream last night.  Obviously, we weren't living in MN in this dream.

I have starting my veggie seeds on my kitchen table, a couple each week and now the table is full.  We have to eat in the living room. 

Last night I designed my gardens on paper, which actually worked out pretty well.  In my front patio garden, I don't think there will be the vast multitudes of flowers like last year (I planted hundreds!) but I plan on filling in all of the spaces around the tomatoes and peppers with flowers so it is full.  I don't like to see dirt or grass clippings amongst my plants.  Too dirty. 

But all of this plant thinking during the day is impeding on my dreaming!  I think I am meant to live in one of those 2-3 growing season states someday, according to my dreams.

Summer Project!

Nothing to do with diabetes here, I just wanted to show the awesome cabinet I found on Craig's List and hope to be picking up tonight!  It'll be my summer project, and Jeff has already said 'you'll never finish it' oh but I will.  We desperately need the storage in our kitchen and there's a big, empty wall that needs something on it too.  Here it is, not lookin' too hot.  The red paint is actually glass in the cabinets.  I'm very excited.  It needs a good re-furbishing...not sure what finish I want it in, any ideas?

Hot to the One-Touch

Has anyone noticed that it's damn hot in Minnesota?  My cat Stickee, hogging the fan this morning I've been fighting with my One-Touch Ping meter remote for the past 2 mos.  It had "Ping-ed" out.  The thing didn't seem to read or sense the strips when inserted or when blood was added.  I finally got fed up with swearing and throwing strips around and called One-Touch and they promptly sent me a new one!  Awesome customer service they have.  How nice it is not to waste 3-4 strips per test!  Back on track with my awesome testing schedule.  As for the home front: Too hot to paint right now... The garden is going insane with this humidity and heat!  I have to take pictures this week.  We've been eating snow peas regularly for a couple weeks and I've already harvested my first 1 1/2 cups of garden peas.  I really enjoyed sitting on the stoop shelling them :)  I quick-blanched and froze them.  I'm hopin...

Sick Cycle Carousel..

Humming the song by Lifehouse... Heat and humidity are killer on my bloodsugars.  Generally I am low 2x times or more a day when I'm in the heat, sometimes have super low BG numbers, like, ahem, a 35 or low enough where 35 carbs don't do much more than bring it up to 66.  Then the liver kicks in, decides to shoot out some glucose and then I go high, then I bolus to correct that high, then I go low 'cause it's hot or I'm not eating much--'cause it's hot and apparently didn't need so much of a bump.  I'll try better today and tonight. Makes you dizzy just thinking about it.
