Sort of Semi Totally Somewhat Random

Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE having my entire family over for major holidays. I LOVE it.

But for some unknown reason, I end up very tired when it is all done.

And no, it isn't because I do EVERYTHING. Actually, for this one, I can't even think of what I DID do. It wasn't much, I know that.

I think it has more to do with what I eat than with what I do.

Why couldn't I have come from a family that goes rock climbing on holidays, instead of centering each holiday around candy?

Okay. So my entire family doesn't do that. It's me. I confess. I took Easter off from diabetes. That's not working out so well for me.

Yesterday, I was SO tired. It was almost a blessing that the colds Jonge and Famke have are causing them to be tired also. I napped when they napped. I napped during several episodes of "The Wiggles" while they happily snuggled up against me. I napped when I napped. None of it helped.

When I went to donate plasma, I answered one of the dozens of questions they ask (via computer) incorrectly and had to be hauled into a small conference room to be 'requestioned'. The one I answer incorrectly was the one that asked if I understood what I was doing. I said, 'no'. The correct answer would have been 'yes', but you knew that already, didn't you? Eh hem...

Oh, well. I suppose it could have been worse. I once took my mom for her annual mammagram. She had me fill out the questionaire for her, and I marked her down as being pregnant. She was in her late 70's at the time. Thankfully, she thought it was funny. Well, I don't think she thought that being in her late 70's was funny, but the thought of being pregnant in her late 70's, well, THAT was the funny part.

Anyway, donating plasma took much longer yesterday. I had a rolling vein. That hasn't ever happened to me before. I think my entire body knows that my plasma money is now going to pay for the shiny new water heater working away in the basement.

Oh, and I am also working on a NEW something. I got an idea from the new issue of "Somerset Life". If it turns out, I shall show post a picture. And, you know me, I'll probably do that even if it doesn't turn out well.

Let's see.., what am I forgetting (besides everything)?

THGGM is participating in a very interesting research study. He has to swallow a huge capsule. I won't let you know how that comes out.

What's new with you? Do tell!
