Its been quite tiring the past weeks and I have so much to do. My youth group is opening our very first school outreach ministry so we've been quite on the run about that. And then theres band practice and too many things to write... and so many other tralala's. Too much to do really drives me insane. But so is not doing anything so I guess I'd rather do something. I can't anymore complain.
Too many things bug my head and I've been sharing them with my best buddy D and he called me a doof for thinking those things. I felt a splash of cold water all over me... like a little reality wake-up call. Sometimes when our heads get clouded with so many things, we tend to veer away from the realities of life and we get paranoid with some things and we freak out. We need people who would give us a little slap to wake up. I really thank D for being sorta like my reality checker... and my water bucket. He's fasting this week and we wont be chatting but I'm sure to get loads of water splashes from him again when he returns.

Yesterday I was on a little "fight" with my friend. Well, I wouldnt really call it a fight. I just had to be the one to tell his face that he did something wrong and what he did affected some of our other friends and our group as a whole. He was obviously hurt and he sulked in the corners the rest of the day and then he played the drums like he was in a mad fit. I was trying to decide within myself whether I did it the right way or not--telling him the things I said--but people confirmed it to me that he really needed a rebuke. Although I was beginning to get pissed at his actions, I wasnt too worried but sent him a note apologizing for my being "brutally frank". And my cousin (same guy who reminded me about weight watching), sort of rebuked me as well when I was beginning to make comments about how childish our friend was for abusing the drums. He was like, "Hey hey c'mon now, fix yourself!!!" Ooops, there goes another bucket of cold water splashed all over my face! First because my cousin is younger than myself and no one younger really has that much guts to say things like that to me. And second, because I knew I was indeed wrong.
Anyway, this morning I got an email from that drummer friend saying that I shouldnt be the one apologizing and he thanked me for saying all the things I said... and also for being a bit harsh (although I wouldnt say that was just "a bit"). He says it helped him grow up in a way. I guess I've just been someone's bucket of cold water.
Yea, sometimes we need a rebuke...or a slap...or a comment... or a knee-jerk quip from someone...or a splash of cold water just so that we'd wake up and realize we're not always right. ;)

Hey Roxy! Try this food list for hyperglycemia:
Eat protein with every meal (meat, eggs, nuts, cheese, milk, etc.) (This is especially important for breakfast and lunch).
Avoid sugar (this includes fruit and fruit juices. Or if you’re like every other woman in the US and just can’t pass up the chocolate, eat sugar with a meal, and preferably with protein, to counterbalance the effect sugar will cause).
Eat carbohydrates cautiously, and if possible combine with protein.
Avoid snacking and in-between meals, (or if you must, snack on something containing protein or complex carbohydrates, such as whole grain crackers or beef jerky).
Avoid simple carbohydrates and stick to whole grains, oats, and vegetables, as these will take longer for your body to burn off, and your blood sugar will not peak as quickly or dramatically and then crash just the same.
Exercise. (It has been proven to help balance insulin levels, by increasing blood flow through your cells.)
Take vitamins. (Vitamins such as E, C, B, Calcium, Potassium, and a daily multi-vitamin, help to balance sugar levels, and fortify your cells).
