Another work weekend done; whew!!
Moldy, hope you are getting enough rest; and have time enough to do your homework for school! Keeping you in my thoughts...
Didn't get any corn put up on Friday because I was dumb enough to answer my phone even though I recognized the phone number.... Ended up hurrying home from WM to catch a couple hour nap before going in to work for a 12 hour night shift; did fine up until about 0430, when I had to take a break and go outside to walk around the building twice, then run up and down a couple flights of stairs to get the blood moving again
Stopped at WM on the way home to pick up the school supplies I'd been looking at when my phone rang the day before, then hit Dollar General to stock up on gallon and quart freezer size Hefty brand zipper bags. They were on sale for $2/box, there was a buy 3 - get $3 back instantly deal, and I had 6 - $1 off 3 coupons plus the $5 off $25 purchase coupon from my receipt:
18 - assorted boxes @ $2 each = $36
Used:
1 - $5 off $25 coupon
6 - $1 off 3 coupons = $6
6 - buy 3; get $3 = $18
Total: $29
Paid $7 plus tax - and got another $5 off $25 purchase coupon on my receipt.
Home then, filled the bird feeders, fed the cat, and fell in bed. I'd set my alarm for 1:30pm but didn't crawl out of bed until Hubby got home from IDPA at 3pm - those night shifts didn't use to kick my fanny quite so bad Hubby had pity on me and fixed supper - he even went out to the garden to pick the fixin's!
Back to work day shift today where I got to play with carb counting/insulin. Anyone given 80 units of Novalog before? I hadn't - and I didn't. 135 carbs plus an ac bs of 331 = 13 s/s + 67 u at 1:2. I gave the s/s and paged the doc, who backed me up... I've done carb counting at 1:10; co-worker had done 1:5 on peds, but 80 units??? I was checking the Pyxis to make sure we had Glucagon on unit, and searching for a 16g.... I can't even imagine eating 135 carbs at one meal...
Finally was able to head home, had about 15 miles to go and came up on a car going 10 mph below the speed limit and weaving over the lines on both sides of the road. Decided 12.8 hours at the hospital was enough fun for one day, and that I wasn't in the mood to scrape anyone off the road, so called the county Sheriff's dept and remained behind the vehicle until they came up behind me, then pulled off on a side road to let them do their thing. I have the phone number for the Sheriff's departments of the 3 counties I regularly drive through, and the 3 City PDs in the contacts in my phone, so was able to use the call function on the van to safely make the call.
Plans for tomorrow include heading up to the pool to exercise, then back home to put up corn - doing it up in pints this year; and hopefully clean up that area of the garden. I'll likely need to pick green/wax beans, tomatoes, green peppers and elderberries again too; plus I found some blackberries in the freezer from last year that I think I'm going to make into jam. That ought to be quite enough for one day
Tuesday will be the pool again, then school shopping with older grandson; Wednesday I hope to finish up the studying I need to do for the online portion of my ACLS test, and back to work Thursday and Friday - the weeks just go too fast anymore!!
Now if I can just settle down enough to get some sleep... Take care all; stay safe out there!
