It's been awhile -- again. Life sometimes has a way of getting too discouraging to write sometimes. Things have been a little difficult around here lately.
I didn't mention that I finally got an appointment with the Delicate Genius. Apparently she did agree to take me as a new patient -- it was her staff that made the mistake. My mom straightened it out, and supposedly they were so embarrassed (but no one was ever embarrassed enough to call and apologize). :P But I am glad that I went. She was very nice and very helpful. I found out that I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). It's a complex, systemic endocrine disorder. Anyway, it's a relief to finally know what's wrong with me. I have had health problems for several years not knowing what the problem was. I am switching to a low glycemic diet because one of the related problems I have is insulin resistance -- pre-diabetic. But it isn't difficult to be motivated so far knowing that that I need to do this. It's not just a good idea anymore.
And I have started babysitting Jordan while my daughter works in the evenings. I love the little guy, but it's so exhausting. Evenings are always a really fussy time for him. :P
And I guess I will post this now, because if I try to think of anything else my brain will explode and it will be another week or so before I post again.
