Plans always change..

Kategori: Allmänt

My whole life I've been known to plan ahead, that way I know the outcome of days, situations or such.. However it seems plans rarely end up the way you plan them. I think what's most comforting to me is just to have it there to fall back on just in case you know? 

Yesterday we were going to have lunch by the lake, instead we ended up having lunch on my parents balcony which was awesome. 

We also decided to stay in my parents neighborhood and have dinner there, but then we ended up buying a oneuse grill and had hotdogs in the courtyard by our apt building instead which was so cozy, awesome and delicious! 

We didn't have any real plans for the evening so we decided to go hang out with my brother and his friend. Ended up having the best time watching soccer and drinking some beers. Thought we wouldn't stay out for long but we had a good time so didn't come home until it was almost 1am, which isn't that late but when you have to wake up at 6.30am it seems that way :) 

So here I am now at 7.30am about to get on the subway to go to work out in Orminge, 50min bus/subway/bus-ride :) I would bike it but I felt lazy today, the beers and hot dog dinner last night caused my bloodsugar to be high and I have barely slept (in my books 5hrs is barely sleeping at all) - therefor I'm on the lazy public transport system today haha

About the diabetes.. It's very strange because my high-symptoms are still non-existent, but right now my bs has been high for over 12hrs straight. Went to bed with bs at 11 and thought it would drop overnight because of a little alcohol intake, thus I had a banana and some OJ before bedtime, but when I woke up this am it was still 11.. So no luck there unfortunally :( its very frustrating that with this disease you are almost always punished instantly for the "wrong" things you do.. the things that aren't great for you (not great for anyone, I mean ANYONE), such as for example alcohol (which I rarely drink anyways), candy (hard to stay away from at times :) I won't lie), high carb foods like yesterday when we had chips and hot dogs for dinner (should be allowed, even without a working pancreas) It truly stinks! 

I think that sometime in the not so distance future I will become a health nut, however I am not there yet! For now it's candy and shots all the way (insulin shots ;) haha)
