My boring life and a question

[piplover]

My birthday on Saturday was wonderful. I came home Friday to find that a zine I had ordered had arrived several weeks early, and then on Sat another one I had ordered arrived as well. My boss had decided at the last minute to close the store for the entire weekend so I got to sleep in, play with my kitties, and then meet my family and some friends at a restaurant for appetizers before we went back to my mom's place for cake and ice cream.

As for school, I'm managing to keep up with my homework, though it's a constant race to finish it before it's due. I have two tests and paper due next week, but I'm pretty sure I'm all right. I'm more concerned with the 12 page paper I have write for my special interest class on the history of sexism and gender biasing in advertising. The paper is due on Feb 6th and I'm having trouble tracking down all the books I need. Why did I pick that subject again?

Here's a question for my flist. I'm hypoglycemic, but I usually don't have any trouble with it. Today I had a sandwich at lunch before my lab, around 11:50, but about 5:00 I suddenly got really shaky and sick. Does anyone else suffer from hypoglycemia, and if so, do you also get sudden, unexpected crashes? I'm wondering if it's because I didn't have my fruits and veggies today. I usually eat at least 2 oranges and a banana or two, and make sure I have at least some spinach or lettuce. I didn't have time today, though. Hmmmmm. Anyway, any thoughts?

Hope everyone is having a good day and are doing well. Take care!

I do the hypoglycemia thing, and any time you change your eating pattern you're usually asking for it. Noon to five is a long time too, for folks whose blood sugar can crash.

If you don't have time at lunch, make time mid afternoon for something. Fruits and veggies are best, if that's what you usually have, but cheese is good too.

I usually carry macadamia nuts with me, but we're not allowed to eat in the lab and I got sidetracked after class with shopping that had to be done. It just totally took me by surprise because usually a sandwich is enough to keep me going, but I guess I just didn't eat enough of a balance today. Yuck.

I'll know better next time, though. I'll have to stock some cheese in the fridge for a quick bite if I'm on the run. Thanks!
