ch ch ch changes!

Wow! My former supervisor resigned from her job Friday. Not a surprise to any of us, and if you've talked to me any recently, you'd know why. And another director resigned (for the 3rd or 4th time, but they're going to make him stick to it this time). And, one of my fellow therapists is leaving the middle of May to go to Florida because her husband is about to graduate from med school & has a job there. Anyone want a therapist job at Old Vineyard? It's not NEARLY as bad as it used to be, and i look forward to going to work now. =)

Last weekend would have been Onex's 18th birthday. That same day, my current (and most awesome) supervisor's old doggie died. I was already kind of sad & just thinking about Onex a lot.. but that made it even worse, to see all her facebook posts about losing her child (cuz she's like me with her dogs) and remember how bad I felt those first few weeks. She didn't come in on Monday, and made it to Thursday.. but every time I saw her, I wanted to cry with her. It's not the same kind of feeling almost 2 years later, but I can still cry about it, and there are days I still would give anything to have Onex around again. I need to get out in the yard and clean up her garden. Right now just the lilac bush is blooming, it's too early for all the other stuff.

This weekend has been entirely sucked up by babysitting. 7 hours today and 7 more tomorrow most likely. My morning job got cancelled, so at least I get to sleep in a little. Did lots of sleeping this morning, didn't really leave the house til I had to sit.

Random note: I think Bee Pollen (the supplement) makes my blood sugar go up. I started taking it a few weeks ago when all this pollen became crazy, and for the longest, I couldn't get my blood sugars to be anywhere close to my normal. So I thought about what could be different, did all the usual changes/checks: new insulin, tubing, cartridge for pump, eating simple to count meals. Didn't seem to matter. So, I stopped taking the Bee Pollen and things have been a lot better. Huh, go figure. Now I'm getting all stuffy with pollen again. But, taking Claritin & Zyrtec seems to be helping. My allergies haven't been this bad since we moved to NC. The pollen just seems to suck the energy right out of me, and I just sneeze all the time & feel drained. It needs to GO AWAY!

Only 1 week, 6 days and 12 hours til trip to Florida! And, only 6 days til Savannah for Amy's 30th! Woo hoo, busy next few weeks.

So, basically, all this to say that things are good right now. =) Still.. amazingly enough.
