Jan 29 - Day 20

We are preparing for a major snow/ice storm coming in tonight and tomorrow.  A number of folks at DFC have left today, a few days early in order to beat the storm.  I parked at the bottom of the driveway so that I can get to Duke tomorrow.  The kitchen prepared sack breakfasts for us to bring back.  The doors aren't opening til 9AM an hour later than usual. My plan is to sleep in (the first chance I have had) and see how things are around 10AM.  Hopefully I will be able to get out.

All my glucose numbers were below 100 today, tonight's being 76.  The scale says I gained 2 pounds in the last few days!  How can that be!!!  grrrr  I was a bit upset and disappointed but later I spoke to others who have had the same thing happen this week.  Maybe it was the little extra Chinese food I had last night. I had already gone to all the classes that were offered today as this is my third week and many classes repeat every two weeks so in response to the weight gain,  I worked out all day between the pool and gym  for 280 minutes (4 hours 40 minutes) .  For the week, I have spent 910 minutes working out, up from 560 last week. There was a lot of saying goodbyes between the exercising so rest assured that I wasn't eating bon-bons and watching TV during my free moments..  I did go to the pharmacy to pick up some diabetics supplies that I had ordered a few days ago. All the diabetic supplies are free, I discovered. I did buy some alcohol swabs to clean my finger tip before I take my blood sample.
  
A small group of us gathered in the front foyer of the facility and the gal who runs the music festival during the summer near Bar Harbor, ME  sang some old tunes and show tunes and led us in a few other songs. It was a fun time had by all.  Staff and clients "lightened up" a bit and were all singing together. She leaves on Sunday, and will be missed.  She reminds me very much of Shirley back in Connecticut.

Paula just got back from the grocery store and said we have 1 inch of snow on the ground in the past half - hour.  It really does look like it wilk be a major storm.
