Clear at last this morning; and I don\’t mean only that we\’ve had no rain for a few days, although of course I’m not complaining about that! But for at least three days, there was a freight train blocking my usual access to the levee bike path. That train sat and sat; and it was very frustrating
It\’s a shame that people who live with diabetes face blaming and shaming for their condition. Isn\’t it hard enough to live with diabetes without the \”it\’s all your fault\” attitude from other people? In February of last year, my A1c levels were in the prediabetes range.

If calling names is a disreputable thing to do, I must be quite disreputable. My antics in the kitchen have me calling names, because I want the recipes I invent to have \”handles\”. Monday night I was fixing the next day\’s lunch. I had a serving\’s worth of salmon in the fridge; and that was
Sometimes everything is at odds. My blog ideas, for one. At present I\’m suffering a \”dry\” spell, which is much at odds with the weather forecast! Yesterday evening we went under flash flood watch.
