Looks like a Monday

I hate Mondays. for me, my Monday is on Saturday, which means that I get to work while everyone else is out having fun. But then there is the "other" Monday. Its just as bad really. I stay up too late reading or dinking on the computer and I'm usually really tired for work the next day. Fortunately, the next day is my Friday. Which means that before long, I will be playing games on the computer for hours on end.

Just for fun I'm adding a link to a video of Douglass Adams.

Sunday Silliness

I cant get this song out of my head.



Yakko's World

In other news, not much has really been going on health wise for me. Just waiting on the landlord to send someone over to fix the hottub.

Another Role Model Passes

Actor and artist Don S. Davis Passed last week. This one shook me more than George Carlin. Don was a great actor in his portrayal of Gen. George Hammond. As such, he was something of a father figure to the members of SG1.

To quote the man himself, "Godspeed."

In other news, I got my results back from the V.A. for some lab work I had done last week. LDL = 165, HDL = 42, Cholesterol = 240, and HBA1C = 5.9. I know I've slipped a bit. Time to buckle down some and start exercising. My 30 day average is 100. That's the highest I've had since DX in May of '07.

Kerri Morrone Sparling over at Six Until Me got her second denial for a CGM, and has a few choice words to say about it. Check out her Blog and tell her what you think.

Gina Capone over at Diabetestalkfest has extended CGMS Denial Day into the CGMS Denial Campaign. Now I have never tried to get a CGMS, but the thought occurs that one day I might want one. Now I DID ask the V.A. about coverage for one, but they arent to keen on the idea. No sweat, I can understand that. It IS a government organization after all. But now I'm curious to see what I'll have to pay to get one through GHC. If they cover one at all. A quick search of their site shows no info regarding CGM or CGMS.

I posted a question in their discussion groups which are monitored by the nursing staff. We'll see if I get a response.

I added the answers to the latest meme. See if you start kicking yourself over them.
