I spent the last nine weeks with two classes that were quite time consuming. Behavioral science and nutrition, and they tried to kick my ass. Not because they were hard, but because they both demanded a lot of time reading, and writing essay's and creating PowerPoint presentations. I also found myself dealing with a teenager with depression, and that is a very touchy and difficult thing to have to deal with. There is more to it than with adult depression, and it can be very draining emotionally, as well as financially. I guess we'll see where this goes, and hopefully find that it doesn't go too far.
So, new classes started Monday, well new class. Human services in the US. The next class starts on next Monday, and it's an algebra class. Fine with the HSM, not so fine with the ALG. Bleh.

Taxes, Vitamins, and blood sugar.
Taxes have been filed for another year, glad to be getting some money back. I enjoy working on the taxes, I just don't always understand what needs to go where, which is why we always have our taxes done. Tax season makes me a little sad that I changed my major from accounting to human services, but my new major fits me better, I think.
Anyway, so vitamins! I decided that I needed to supplement my diet since starting this nutrition class. I knew I was lacking in the way that I ate, but I had no idea how much! So, I added just a women's one a day, nothing fancy, just a true supplement. It's been five days so far, and now I can't eat! I'm never very hungry, and when I eat, I can't eat a whole lot. What's up with that? Vitamins aren't supposed to make you full, are they? I am also having trouble deciding what to eat. I used to be starving all the time, and knew I had to have, just HAD to have something specific, not the last few days though. I may ask my instructor about this, cause it seems weird to me.
My blood sugars are normalizing a lot over the last week. I added glipizide to my insulin, and it seems to be what I was missing. I am almost normal in the mornings, and my sugars stabilize faster after meals now. Hmm, maybe it's the combination of vitamins and glipizide? Hellifiknow. Anyway, that's it for now.
Peace

Easy does it
So J's birthday was yesterday, and we had a nice afternoon and evening. We all went to Cheesecake Factory, and had some yummy foods. I had two snack plates instead of a meal, since I am trying to eat better while I'm taking this nutrition class. I had a greek salad (roma tomatoes, onions, feta cheese, kalamata olives, and cukes), and fried zucchini. I know, it was fried, but I passed on the bread, so it balances out, right? ;)
Anyway, we also got J some new shoes, he got some green and black things that are nice, I like them a lot. Then we went to Best Buy and he bought Moon. Was a nice, mellow night, and we all had a good time. :)

Baklava
CJ made some amazing baklava on Saturday! I don't know if she took a picture, but if she did I'll have her post it.
On a side note, we tried for the second and third times yesterday, to get CJ her drivers permit. One place was closed permanently, and the other was closed for MLK's holiday. That poor girl, I know I'd be so disappointed! We will try again next weekend.
