Yeah, late December does tend toward busyness and weight-gain. I quite understand the blood sugar thing -- I get really stupid when I put off eating too long; I know I'm in trouble when I know I should eat but I can't figure out what to eat or how to get it ... and it all seems just too complex to deal with....

Remarkable how sometimes a "little" thing like getting the trash out in time to be collected can give one such a feeling of accomplishment. (I just wish our neighborhood's collection weren't Friday morning -- for some reason, Thursday evenings defeat me more than most.)

Very glad things are up-looking. May this be a trend -- may it continue.
