Catsup

Hey everyone,

Sorry for being absent around here lately. Life's been busy. Our IT guy loaded over five million records into our new software system over the weekend and we are officially live as of yesterday! Of course, we're still doing tons of work in the old system, and often doing double-data entry in both systems, so we're not over the hump quite yet. But everything seems to going well enough so far. The office is decorated in work zone caution tape and construction signs for fun, and our old consultant even sent us a congratulatory fruit arrangement today.

I've been working nonstop the past few weeks, and when I get off work the last thing on my mind has been to jump on a computer again, so that's why there haven't been any new entries. Plus, I'm super tired because I've been pushing myself to work out harder out on the track. My back is a little bit sore the past couple of days, but it feels so worthwhile to be able to get out there and jog. A few times in the past week, I've been able to jog three miles straight - a far cry from where I was a year ago (lying in bed post-surgery)! It's truly amazing.

Meanwhile, though, I feel like I may be heading into a whole new bit of drama with doctors, because some blood tests revealed some concerning glucose levels and they want me to see an endocrinologist, dietician, and educator regarding the possibility of diabetes. This may be where the hacker's diet gets one in trouble - I count calories each day, but not grams of sugar. And the week I had blood drawn was a bad one for nutrition (um, girl scout cookies for breakfast!), so I'm hoping that factors into it. Please pray that this turns out to be not much of anything. I know that God only gives me what I can handle, but it's so depressing to constantly have something going wrong with me.

As for movies, I got distracted by the Olympics and book reading, so I haven't seen a ton of them lately, although I still have several I need to review. Maybe I just need to suck it up and do another roundup. I'll try to work on that.

Well, things are still busy around here, so I'd better get going. I hope all of you are having a great week!

JoshYay for running 3 miles straight! I may be running a little less this week, as I borrowed the DVD's for P90x from someone and am going to give it a try to see if it's something I'd want to invest in myself. Kicked my butt this morning!

Nice. David wants me to get Dance Dance Revolution and give it a try. Haha. I also have the Wii Active, which I tried too early after my surgery. I need to get back into using that more often, because it can get pretty intense depending on which setting you use.
