YAAAA IT'S FRIDAY

Well... it's been a long week!

All the excitement of getting new cars, Denim's operation and the resulting stress levels... and a couple of FBG walks thrown in for good measure, phew... busy!

I'm really looking forward to the weekend, it's going to be crazy busy too!

But for today?

I need to go into town and get cash for my Market on Sunday (the float), and then much later on Denim has her dressing changed at the Vets.

I am hoping like hell the vet says it's healing well... cos if it's NOT, she will possibly have to undergo another operation, and have more of her tail removed!

I really don't want her to go through another operation.  And end up with an even shorter tail, or worst case scenario, no tail at all.

And then there's the added time involved in her recovery.  I'd hate her to be dragged back to the beginning again.

So... let's keep positive and hope she's recovering really well.

I have quite a bit of housework to get through today, mostly washing.  It would be neat to get some stuff hanging outside!  I've not hung anything outside in what feels like weeks.

And it would be nice to get back into the sewing room and work on the new project.  I'd love to get it finished in time for my Sunday Market.

So, I better get outta bed and make a start on the day.

Hey guess what?  IN THREE DAYS I GET MY NEXT Hba1c Blood test!  It has been THREE MONTHS since my last one, which revealed a shocking result.  Now, after following an almost ZERO CARB AND SUGAR diet, I am dying to find out the results of my hard efforts!

Monday I will get the blood test done, and I should have the lab results by Wednesday!!!!!  Getting excited/anxious/nervous.... the number has to have gone down considerably ... surely?

ONWARD...

CLARIFICATION:  A 'normal' Hba1c level is 50 or below.
I used to be between 60-70.
My last Hba1c number was 90.

Yes, I am sure my number will have gone down, it must have because my month of daily testing showed perfectly 'normal' daily levels.

But I am still nervous.  I really, really want the number to be lower than 60!  I am probably dreaming.  My Doctor said I can't expect it to drop too much in only 3 months.
But I WANT A MIRACLE.  

Something is changing.
I went down town to get cash for Sunday.
And I popped into the op shops (as ya do).

One had several really nice larger size tops/jackets/tunics so I tried them on.  And they all fitted!  Mostly XXL.  And all of them were only $10 each.  But they were ALL BLACK.

NORMALLY I would have bought them... COS THEY FITTED, and I always wear black (it's SLIMMING RIGHT?).
But my head said NO... just because they FIT does not mean I have to buy them!  So I left them in the shop!  

What is wrong with me???  Something is changing.  Hmmmm.  Weird.

6 pm:  And some of you are probably waiting to hear how Denim went at the Vets!  Sorry, when we got home I got sidetracked with sewing, then getting dinner made.

SOooo... her wound is healing nicely!   No need for a second operation so far.  She now has her bandage off and a much bigger cone on, so she can't reach her tail at all.  She's not a happy camper!  

All going well, as long as her tail doesn't get infected in the next week, all is looking good for stitches out next friday and then ONWARD with an all better Denim.

I did something today in the sewing room that I have never done before... will show you the finished new project tomorrow.  I'm feeling really happy with it.

It just needs it's binding hand stitched on tonight and it's done!
Yaaaa... I can take it to market on Sunday like I had hoped to.

Yaaa it's done and everyone here thinks it's gorgeous!  Can't wait to show you tomorrow.

But now... it's Coronation Street soon.
