For some blood work this morning. I felt ABSOLUTELY ill when I got up. Weak, dizzy, very bad when I turned my head over to dry my hair. Took me a long time to get ready for work.


Then waited an hour to get stuck and by the time I got to work, just felt very bad. I did prepare. I had two hard boiled eggs and some steamed spinach, but I still felt icky and so I broke down and ate a packet of crackers w/pnut butter that I still had here. it's not the end of the world, and I certainly won't beat myself up over it, but the strange thing is that it didn't make me feel any better at all to get that quick carb hit. Sigh. What a waste.


Oh well. Movin' on...

These things happen and you did the best you could under the circumstances.

Life happens, and I think you handled it well!

Beck, I think those crackers (under the circumstances) were fine to do.

Thanks Maggie! You're probably right. It probably did help. And it didn't set me off on wanting to plow through a box of cheez it's or anything? :)


And I felt a MILLION times better by the time lunch came and I had my chili. I feel a huge weight off my shoulders from getting that blood work out of the way. I am sure I am fine, but it'll be good to have confirmation and be on my way to a healthy life.

I'm glad you're feeling better, Beck!
