so I made it half way to the Irish festival

[cornerofmadness]

I got a very late start since I was in a horrible mood and I had grading to do. Once I got moving, I knew my sugar was a bit high. I took some insuling. That didn't help. By the time I got to the halfway point in chillicothe, I was having trouble. The high sugar was shutting my brain down and it was just not safe to go further.

Instead, I went shopping in Chillicothe to let my body equalize. (and in this time period of 2 hours I drank over 2 liters of water thank you blood sugar, just what I wanted). Lowes didn't have ANY garden stuff on sale. I did get a few things for Christmas in satan's playhouse the hobby lobby. Now to make it. They also had a really cool pocket watch necklace, cheap that I had to have for steampunk cosplay.

I did find a few things i could have bought in TJ Maxx but decided not to. ANd to celebrate all the money I didn't spend at the Irish festival (which is usually a lot) I went to Red Lobster's crabfest. I had a coupon. it's mostly protein and they are nice enough to sub a salad for free since I'm a diabetic and ALL their side orders are potato or rice. I treated myself to the seafood bake and I'm so stuffed. a pound of crab legs, about 8 shrimp and a half dozen scallops all cooked in a wine/garlic/butter sauce with red potatoes (which I skipped) and corn on the cob (which I didn't really eat). It was really good.

I did talk to my coworker L and she said it was too hot at the fest. L reminds me of ishte in that she loves heat and she loves cycling so if she was hot... I do think next year I'm just going to get a hotel room for a night or two and go to the Ohio state fair AND the IRish festival and really make a day of it. The Irish fest goes til midnight so even if I get there later when it starts to cool off I still get to see a lot.

TOday is supposed to be express your happiness day. I celebrated earlier by sliding down the wall in a crying heap. That's not right? Hmm maybe not. yeah, not so happy right now

My camera is official D.O.A. The new batteries didn't help. Dad has two so I might take his but he says it takes poor indoor pics. it'll do for now.

And for the FMA lovers on my list, well especially you Ed and Winry fans, fireandice2011 challenge is up and running go look. Sign up. Have fun.

Oh, that's a nice harbor.

Sliding down the wall crying isn't too happy, no.

Satan's Playhouse is a lovely place to visit, isn't it? I have stuff from the sister store Joanne's I need to make, too.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it was a pretty harbor

no not too happy

oh dear Joanne is dangerous too

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Joanne's had STUFF ON SALE. *grabby hands*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

so what the stuff i got at hobby lobby

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Hopefully not the same things...since I need to make you something out of something I bought.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahaha guess we'll find out

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't be the first time a friend gave me the same thing as I gave her....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

snort. well sine i have to make mine it won't be exactly the same

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yes, and ditto. :D

Awwww, sorry you had such a shit day. You're having more than your share lately. *pats you*

But you're so virtuous! To go to Red Lobster, and pass up red potatoes, corn on the cob, and even the cheddar biscuits? I'm impressed. But damn, that seafood sounds good.... My doctor just dropped my glucophage dosage, and I think it's making me hungry - EVERYTHING has sounded good the past few days, dammit.

Gorgeous pic of the harbor! Hope you are feeling better tomorrow...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i always have my share of crazy bad days

well notice I DIDN'T say I passed on the biscuits but I did on the taters and corn. Hmm that could be about the glucophage.

thanks

[helliongoddess.livejournal.com]

It could be that my tummy is just doing better with less glucophage, and that's making me think I want more food. *lol* That stuff is hard on my stomach, even though it doesn't make me pukey like it did at first.

Yahoo, you had at least one biscuit! Good for you. Not having one of those would require almost super-human willpower.

I can relate to the bad days issue (and depression, panic attacks, bad health... it sounds like we have a lot in common.) Believe me, I know how it is.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

luckily i had no problems at all with glucophage

yes i would especially with wine/butter sauce to daub up

yeah it sucks

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Boo for the crappy blood sugar. But yay for a pocket watch necklace! I want one of those. I have a necklace watch that I adore because I don't like wristwatches.

Yummy crabfest.

Yeah, the hotel plan sounds like the way to go next year. Less stress all around.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

big boo.

i like pocket watches

and i could do so much more if I didn't have four hours drive time all around
