Good Morning my dear friends!
all this talk about Dr's has got me joining in with my own worries! I just went to the DR yesterday for a physical -- I had missed the dreaded "ladies exam" for 8 yrs from procrastination - well -- yesterday it was time, and all was done! let's just say it was needed, I found out why I am having some issues I am having and it might be time for another surgery in the futureThe problem is the specialist/ Gyno Dr. is only bookable 1 day per month, and they missed the date for this month already. They can't book again until June 19 - and then it's looking like an AUGUST appointment!! Wow! it's a never-ending waiting game to see specialists sometimes!
So, I'm holding and waiting to get an appointment.
Second issue, and one that I have to start taking care of: My diabetes has gotten worse. my blood sugar is raised from 7.4 last yr. to now 8.6. He put me on a new medication that's supposed to be better than metformin, and cut my metformin to 1/2 a pill twice daily, as it was giving me nasty stomach issues..... the new pill has a positive side effect in that it promotes weight lossI can deal with that! Right now I am sitting at 200lbs and would like to lose about 20lbs. My DR said he's not even focusing on my goal, his goal for me is to just start with 10lbs! He's such a nice DR....I really like him, he never rushes me and always takes time to explain things.
So....I guess I'll just focus on the first 10 lbs, then try eating healthier, and also start taking my medication instead of blowing it off.... as I was doing all last year.I just was in denial about the diabetes diagnosis. I wanted to change things around without medication - just by diet and exercise, but I wasn't making big enough changes to make a difference. My DR. said give it 3 months focused on my walking program, taking my new medication, and eating healthier. he's ordered blood work for 3 months from now and wants me to see the "promised improvement" when I come back to see him. I am going to give him my cooperation and hope my blood sugar gets under control, and my own weight loss starts to happen for me!
As to Disney trips - Sadly, as I mentioned, our Christine had to cancel coming on the Diva trip. I had feelers out for another fellow Canadian to join my room, but she has decided to keep the commitment to the other roomates she had joined with, and she doesn't mind sharing a bed with 3 or 4 other girls in the room. I'm different, I like my privacy, and I definitely don't want to share beds with anyone as I am a mover and a blanket hogger, and I don't even like sharing a queen bed with my own DH!!! I don't mind having one roommate, but that's all I'd like, unless there was a daybed for the 3 person. / or if the other 2 didn't mind sharing beds, then that could work work too.....BUT, I am finding it hard to find a roommate.
I am at the point where I am seriously considering canceling myself from the DIVA trip. As much as I'd love to go, some of the excitement has gone out of it for me without Christine. I know I would probably settle in and make new friends givien time, I just feel in a funk about it now. Also I am planning that huge Disney trip for my son's grad present in 2015 -- I promised him and his GF to bring them to WDW, and shoshana (DS 17's GF) has never been before, so it will be a fun trip showing someone new all our favourite things. I know I'll need about 10K for that trip to do it as I want. I'll either want to stay at BWI Deluxe CL room, or Kidani 1 BDRM with Deluxe Dining. -- either way it will be a expensive trip, and the longer to save, the better. I am thinking my savings could go better towards that trip, because the DIVA trip will run me around 2K regardless with airfare, tickets, food and transportation/spending money. That's 2K that could go towards our 2015 Disney fund. My head just does not seem into the Diva trip right now. I haven't officially cancelled yet, but it is very much on my mind today.
I already bought my flight, and it will mean a loss of some money for cancelling my airfare, but at least they will put the difference into a travel bank for me to use in the future......
I somehow think it might be the more responsible thing to wait and just continue saving for WDW with my DH, son, and his GF -- it's only about 20 months away when you think of it!
I just got a email from my Cousin that the CM's are saying this weekend will be crazy in the world. He didn't realize he booked over Memorial day weekend!!! so yes, it's going to be crazy busy. He's thinking about perhaps doing something else on Saturday, as they've done all the parks by now, and I recommeded perhaps leaving and going to Gator Land for the day. His young son is mesmorized by crocodiles, and I think they'd really like that! I threw out the idea to him, so we will see what he decides. I also threw out the idea of just having a pool day/ and maybe going to do mini golf at winter summerland since they are staying at AKL. They have ulitimate tickets so it will cover the admission.
I am waiting to hear back from him, he's not crazy about the thoughts of the large crowds he can already feel descending on the world! they are booked to go to Universal on Sunday. I told him to concentrate most of his day at IOA, except for his lunch which I said he must do at Mythos!!! but also told him to beeline for that express pass at the front gate as sooon as he gets there! He's going to need it on Sunday, I think!

Marie. We went to Disney one year Memorial Day week and made the mistake of going to MK.......I think we waited for like every ride and it took us what seemed like hours to get a bus back to YC.
I think I might cancel too if I were you now that Christine can't go.

So we had a wicked storm blow through complete with hail and winds that took down a tree around the corner from me so we lost power from 4-6:30pm. It was very humid but at least power came back before sunset.
Bella was up on the couch next to me, first crack of thunder she becomes my buddy but when the hail started and the winds picked up she about knocked me off trying to crawl behind me. I have to say her reaction scared the piss out of me! I thought we were having a tornado with the wind and hail and poof no power all at once.
Have a FABULOUS BIRTHDAY WEEKEND! 
Yaaaaay for SAB! 
Eesh. Today's a new day... and if it isn't a good one, I'll beat some goodness into it by this evening -- or die trying.

, but booking cabins in the Smokies is nothing like booking Disney. All of them require payment in full about 14-30 days prior to arrival with no refunds for cancelations at that point and no changes allowed. Some will let you apply your payment to a future stay, but that's about it for any flexibility. 
and we'd lose thousands, so as you can imagine, I'm adding the insurance. Most TN resorts don't offer it as an option so I see it as a sign that this is the resort for us (and all RCs
). 
Apparently due to cyber and facebook bullying and reputation. I am just so sad and sickened by the trend of todays teens. It is such a scary world our kids are growing up in. One mistake and it is plastered all over the internet...to them ruining their lives. 
for WL CL!! (dates, please?) Enjoy your anniversary date...
