Okay, so this weekend is the "for real" fall back on the clocks weekend. The clock by my bed and my computers at work and home, silly things, all thought it was LAST weekend and dutifully fell back at the appointed hour. So I had to reset them last weekend, and now reset them this weekend. There's a feature now pointless.
I, for one, do not care for this "standard" time. The weather is now getting cool enough in the evenings that I actually enjoy getting out in my yard and doing some work. But now it gets dark around 6 p.m. and that gives me a little less than an hour if I get right to it as soon as I get home. Oh well, just another reason to look forward to retiring.
Went to the doctor yesterday and, for once, got a pretty decent report. My blood pressure was within the good range and my bad cholesterol had come down significantly. The best news was that since switching insulins, my A1C went from 7.9 to 6.3! Those of you familiar with diabetes will know the significance of those numbers. Switching insulins also appears to be helping with the swelling I was experiencing in my legs. Now, I am praying that the angioplasty that will be performed on my right leg on the 19th will greatly ease the pain in my leg and I'll be able to start some sort of exercise program.
Got my hair cut today and went quite a bit shorter than I'm used to. It's not super short, but it's above my shoulders and I haven't had it this short in several years. My hair is so fine so it's really hard for it to hold any kind of style except straight and stringy. Hopefully, with some of the length gone, I'll be able to do more with it.
My hair stylist's husband is in the Navy and just left for a 6-8 month stint in Bahrain. He calls her every morning from the ship and emails her at least twice a day. I think it's wonderful that military families can keep in such close contact now.
I watched "Young Frankenstein" last night and have had "Puttin' On the Ritz" stuck in my head all day. Mel Brooks… Damn you!
Bueno bye.
