Why do we expect one man to do what everyone in congress can’t

I really wonder why so many have the expectation that our President can or even should fix everything that is broken in this country. Sadly, I believe the reason we do this is because we have loss total faith in all our other leaders. Not to mention that the average American can’t name their congressional leaders, or state and local leaders. We hear about them during election time, and then most just somewhat disappear. These leaders share the lowest approval rating in history right now.

Lets face it, being in Congress is the best scamming job there is. Basically, they get people knocking on their door, loaded with gifts, money, trips, and whatever else just so they can “inform and educate” them on every issue under the sun. Add to that, 100% healthcare coverage (the best on the planet) for life. Not even going to go into everything else (Google it) or we would be here all day, sufficient to say it is ridicules.

How much is it costing to debate healthcare reform? I can’t afford my medications. The medication I need, I can not have, and all I can think about is what did it cost today to debate and do nothing?

Many argue that every person should and need to provide for themselves. Guess it is the logical conclusion of, “Survival of the fittest.” Maybe that is where I am missing it, because we hold so dear our principal of a free market capital system, it is that value I confused with the christian value of helping those who need help. Which one to pick, hum…

Diabetics risking life and limb amid recession

Diabetics risking life and limb amid recession – Diabetes- msnbc.com

It is scary when you think about it.  The economy effects us all in so many ways.  Those with medical conditions that require monitoring and day to to day medication get hit the worst it seems.  Diabetes is something you do not always see or feel the effects moment to moment.  I was brought up, taught that you stop taking medication when you feel better.  If you are feeling fine, then you don’t take medication.  Guess what, that is the totally opposite of what I should be doing.  Needless to say, it is one of the hardest parts for me dealing with mine.  Lot I could go on about on this topic, but I can’t today.  Remember, if you know someone that is on medications check in with them and see that they are taking them.  It is pretty depressing with how the economy is going and they can not afford their medications.  Most won’t say anything, and just hold out hope they can get back to them as soon as they can.

The Eye’s know!

Did you know that your eye sight is directly linked to your blood sugar? I knew it was to a point but not as much as I found out today.

Been dilated before, but this time was the worse. Be glad I don’t have to do this very often. The doctor did say that it would be annual thing for me though. Overall, it was a positive meeting. My vision has been off of late and that is directly tied to my diabetes. According to the test I have a 10.5 and I shouldn’t be any higher then 6.5 at the max. So, getting my numbers under control is really important, the good news is that I have less blood vessels then most people my age so this is really good. Since the rise in blood sugar usually makes more blood vessels and they tend to burst and flood the eye which is what causes blindness in diabetics.

So the push is on even more now to get my numbers under control.

Putz day

Diabetes SUX!

To be perfectly honest here, I still am at a lost with all this diabetes crap. Seems like when I make some head room all I get is more meds to take and more often. I swear I am getting poked and needled to death with this. Needless to say this is making today a bit of a putz day for me. I really want to get this under control and not let it run my life but it doesn’t seem to care what I want.

Post election depression

Spoke with my mom for a minute today. Wasn’t pretty by any stretch of the imagination. Not going to really say much about it on here, other then I hope everyone out there is having a better day.

Blogging & Work

Now, I realize I have not always been really good at keeping this thing updated as regularly I would like to. Even though I think I have improved somewhat. I am of course ADD as well and I am learning (or re-learning, all in how you look at it) that I have to have everything written down and on a calendar. One thing that has always bothered me about that is no one else I know has to do this. Not nearly to the degree I have to do it. But, I finally realized, I am not like everyone else. That having a calendar that looks like it exploded out of a crayon box is what does work for me and keeps me on track. This has been something that has bugged me for some time, but I just can’t keep thinking about it and just need to do it. All of this has lead me to put everything I do on my calendar with times to write on here as well as my work blog.

My work blog is a place more for clients and potential clients to get to know me as well keep up on trends and email marketing I am doing. Will be listing all of my listings on there as well. It is still in the development stage and hope to have it launched officially within the next couple of weeks.

Not much else to say at this point, please keep posting comments for me. Do love hearing from those that read what I have soap boxed about and such. Trying to add more content about me and the things I do or go through on a daily basis as well.

HUGE NUMBER 176

If your a diabetic, then you know what that number is. If not, that is simply a monster number for me. Because that is my blood sugar number and it has never been below 200 since I started having to monitor my blood sugar.

Do have to say that I haven’t felt this good in awhile. Notice it a lot with my energy and ability to focus. Never thought it would have that impact or that this was one of the reasons I wasn’t getting things done. Lately I have been watching myself much closer and writing down how I feel and when. It is very weird I have to say.
