Diabetes documentary to air on 18 of November

I just read a wonderful post about diabetes by Kerri at sixuntilme.com.
I found an article at CNNMoney.com about the hour-long documentary, narrated by Glenn Close, that Kerri references in her blog post. It’s airing on the Discovery Health channel at 9:00am on November 18, 2007, and at 8:00am on December 2 [...]

We’ve been home again today. DD11’s blood sugar came down through the night last night. She was just under 300 this morning with low ketones. I was actually up and ready to go to work when she ran to the bathroom and began dry heaving. Mom had said that she’d stay home with her, but [...]

Sweeney’s coming…

This is the cover of the November 9, 2007 issue. Great cover photo, huh?

sick day

I was home from work yesterday with DD11. Cough, cold, fever. Today she went to school, but called around 11:30am after throwing up twice (she was sent back to class after calling me to pick her up, by the way, but that’s another post for a different day).
My dad picked her up from school [...]

Buckley’s

When we got to the bed and breakfast (about half an hour away from Niagara Falls, Ontario), Chrissie and I saw a commercial for Buckley’s Cough medicine. The commercial had a bunch of big burly looking guys who were practically crying from the horrible taste of the cough medicine. We don’t have Buckley’s [...]

Veterans Day, Remembrance Day

When we were in Toronto on November 1, we saw a newscaster on the morning news wearing a small red button with a black dot in the middle on her lapel. Then the woman reporting the weather had one on her lapel. Then another newscaster. Mom and I thought they were [...]

more about Canada and WW…

I went to WW today and had lost 0.6 pounds. I know that’s not much, but I’m happy with it. While we were in Canada, we ate at Hard Rock Cafe, a little family diner (loaded with fat, I’m sure), McDonald’s, and at the Chili’s in the Chicago O’Hare airport. I ate all [...]

Canada

When we first got to Canada, this is what I saw…

When it was my turn to go through customs, the customs officer wanted to see the photos I took while in line. Evidently, no photos are to be taken in the customs hall. I did not see any signs posted that stated this. [...]

it’s coming soon…
