Thank you to those who commented on my post yesterday. After talking to my mom and emailing back and forth with my grandma I feel a lot better. As my mom pointed out, people read things differently, and I don’t think it would ever occur to my awesome grandma that someone would read what that email said and take it as a reason to be mean or hateful toward other people. Or that it could go from her well-intentioned forward to someone she knows to other people who aren’t so well-balanced. Ahh, the beauty of the internet. Blah.

Anyway, moving on. Work is INSANE. Trying to get myself caught up enough to be gone for a week is bad enough, but then with my boss being gone for 3 weeks starting next week too…it’s made things very interesting around here. Things that people are giving us a couple weeks notice on are actually just a couple days notice because we need to get it taken care of before we both leave. Fun fun. It makes the days go by quickly though.

I had my glucose screening test this morning. The drink, while super-sweet, wasn’t as bad as I expected. It was basically 2 shot-sized glasses of the stuff, which I drank while they talked to me. I also got a regular flu shot and talked to the doctor about H1N1. She warned me that if I feel ANY flu-like symptoms that I’m to call her immediately. They don’t want to mess around with that stuff. I told her I would be extra careful while traveling, and I have a copy of my records in case something happens while we are on vacation (God forbid!).

I don’t get the results of the glucose screen until later, so I don’t know how it went. On the one hand, I feel pretty good about it because my weight gain hasn’t been crazy (from what I gather from the Dr), and I don’t ever feel like I have high or low blood sugar – I don’t even get a “sugar rush” of energy after eating candy or drinking pop, and I don’t really have a mid afternoon crash or anything. But on the other hand, from what I understand you don’t always have noticeable symptoms with Gestational Diabetes, so who knows. I guess we’ll just wait and see.

Ugh. Back to work. Only 2 days left!
