Great visit with a new friend

Today I met up with my new friend, El, for a cuppa at the Madison Park Starbucks. I am impressed how intelligent she is, so compassionate, and just a very nice person. She and I took a nice stroll down to the beach at the park, skipped a few stones in the water, and had a nice talk. She shared about her past difficulties, and I admire how she went through hell, and came back up smiling.

The walk seemed like enough exercise, because my hip became numb again just before the end of our walk. It used to hurt when I walked on it. Now it just goes numb. I think I will avail myself of the chiropractor who used live across the street. Maybe he can help that.

However, I did come home and mow the front lawn after supper. It's nice and sunny, even though it is a bit on the cool side. Tomorrow I will mow the back yard of weed patch. I don't quite yet know what I want to do with the lawn area back there. I think first I want to fill in the holes. Then I probably will hit it with moss control and weed and feed. I think I will Round-Up the flower beds. But that can wait until there is a string of nice weather, which seems to be hard to come by here lately.

I have an audition for a voice over on Sunday. I hope that goes well.

Recent Chest Pains

I have noticed that when I eat too much (I know, mea culpa), I have the same response as when I was on the Avandia, and that my heart speeds up, and then I get angina.

This past week, I have been working hard to get my blood sugar under control, and this is helping.

Now, if only the weather would cooperate enough so I could get out and ride my bike. I need the exercise to help me control my blood sugar.

Also I need to wean myself off the nicotine gum, since I am discovering that the nicotine is exacerbating the chest pains.
