  Visit Sandra and join in with HHM!            *** The weather in my neck of the woods***   This week it will be between the upper 40s and upper 60s with lots of spring rain.       *** Things that make me happy ***                                           Painting my nails. Reading. Weekly planning.    *** Book I'm reading ***    Finally finished A Voice in the Wind by Francine River. Parts of it were very good, but parts of it were very slow. 3.8/5.   Still reading my daily devotion, AM/PM Spurgeon, and Alison May Housekeeping Puttery books.  Will start on something new this week, but I am not sure what at the moment.    *** What's on my tv today ***    House of David (love it)  The Chosen You Tube videos Days of Our Lives   *** On the breakfast plate ***   ...

                  Visit Sandra and join in with HHM!  I had a quite a week. It started with a doctor's appointment. I was congratulated on losing weight and for having a more positive outlook (i.e. managing my depression/anxiety). But the next day, when my lab results arrived, I received quite a shot. Uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. Seriously uncontrolled. If any of you are familiar with A1C numbers, my fasting count was 11.7. Yeah. So, my doctor got authorization from my insurance and I am now taking Mounjaro shots once per week. I started them on Friday and on Saturday my entire body was in so much pain! I found out that 25-30% of people have an autoimmune response which can cause your joint pain to have a major flare!  Other than that, I've had some minor headaches and nausea.   Coming up, I have three doctor's appointments this week. I also re-joined WW and I'm on the diabetes and GLP-1 plans.  It keeps track of my carbs...
