Sunny Tuesday

Isn't it typical?  Now the Bank Holiday is over and people have gone back to work, we have a lovely sunny day although there is a stiff breeze.   Not only that but they forecast a mini heatwave for midweek - well at least here in the South East.

Becky has kindly sent me some photos which she says I can use on my journal.  Pictures of some of her Spring flowers.  I must say that her display of Daffodils in the front garden was wonderful:-

Here is her Cherry tree which is blossoming at the moment. She tells me she has been sitting by it just this morning. They do get wonderful cherries if the birds do not get to them first!  They will have to put a net over as they usually do.

Next is her Magnolia tree.  It is only small at the moment but is going to look stunning in a few years judging by the colour and size of the blooms now

Next we have Tulips and Irises.  Irises are a particular favourite of mine. We do have them in the pond but not in the actual garden.

Lastly, here is our Nathan.  Despite all the work going on around him, he was determined to have fun!

Thanks Becky my darling for allowing me to use these photographs so that myself and others could share the beauty.

As you know I do not tend to mention my health too much on my journal. Well, as little as possible.  However, I am extremely depressed and worried at the moment.  The side effects of the increased medication does, thankfully, seem to be  wearing off but they have not, so far, reduced my blood sugars back down to acceptable levels.  Maybe it is just too soon, I really do not know.  I do know that I only have a couple of days left before my appointment and because I have not seen the real improvement I had hoped for and which the diabetic nurse told me over the telephone that she is certainly expecting to see, my stress levels are rising.  Right now I have to admit that I feel as if I am fighting a losing battle and that is very unusual for me. I have shed more tears in the last three days than I have done in a very long time.  However, I do believe in a greater power and I hope the Lord is kind to me. 

To think that not long ago I was writing telling you I was dreading the appointment in case the nurse made a big issue of my weight.  Now the weight has become a minor worry, it is the sugars that are the main concern. I have cut back on my food even more and  been sticking strictly to my diet and been trying to increase the exercise.  That is why I am so very concerned that my sugars are not falling back the way they should.

I know you will all be wishing me well and rooting for me. You are such a wonderful group of people. When I started my journal I never realised just how many friends I would make and I do mean friends.  I truly care about you all and so much enjoy sharing in your lives.

If I do not post anything more for a couple of days I know you will understand why.

Wishing each and every one of you a happy and trouble free week.
