I thought a Thursday 13 was in order since it has been so long since I’ve posted anything. As usual, not all of the photos are related to the post.

1. We’re still working on getting Howard’s insulin regulated. He’s up to six units twice a day. He had a glucose curve done last week, and Dr. D. increased his dose from five units twice a day to six units twice a day. He goes next week to have his blood sugar checked again.
2. I still haven’t given Howard an insulin injection. Nick has been doing them. We’ve decided that I am definitely going to do it over the long weekend.
3. We went to Dollywood two weekends ago with our neighbors. They have a season pass and invited us as their guests. Between their family, one of the boys bringing his girlfriend, and us, we had eleven people in our group. It was so much fun! There was always someone to ride any ride with, and there was always someone to hang out with if there was a ride you didn’t want to go on.
4. Bumper cars are so much more fun when you know most of the other people in the cars. It’s much more fun to ram a friend than ram a stranger.
5. I can no longer go on rides that move in a constant circle. I used to be able to if I took Dramamine, but it’s a definite NO now.
6. I got a new laptop. So far, I really like it. I loved my old one, but it’s almost eight years old and has really slowed down. The new one is a Lenovo. I use a Lenovo ThinkPad at work, and I love it. Those are out of our budget, so I opted for a Lenovo laptop.
7. I’m hoping that with a faster laptop, I’ll be able to post more often. I always miss blogging whenever I don’t do it.

8. I also purchased more Google storage, so I’m in the process of moving all of my pictures from the old laptop to my Google drive. I take a lot of pictures!
9. In the Ford versus Chevy debate, I am 100% team Toyota. My Camry is in the shop, and the rental is a Chevy Equinox. I have been referring to it as Satan’s SUV if that gives you an idea of how much I dislike it.
10. Nick doesn’t hate Satan’s SUV like I do, so after I drove it once, we switched. He’s driving it, and I’m driving his car. His is a Honda, so everything is very similar to my car. Nick says he has had more time to get used to how different everything is because the car he drives at work is a Chevy. He also handles change much better than I do.
11. Last month, we went to Fleet Feet in Greenville, SC, to get fitted for shoes. My sister did at the beginning of 2020 and has been recommending it ever since then. They’re the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn in my life! I ended up with a pair of Brooks, and Nick ended up with a pair of Hokas. Our feet didn’t hurt at all after the Dollywood trip. Neither one of us could remember the last time we’d done that much walking (my step count was over 23,000 for the day) without our feet hurting.
12. I started a Zazzle store. I love notebooks, so I’ve been putting my photos on notebooks.
13. Walgreens’ text messages about pet prescriptions are hilarious. I especially love the one instructing Duke the dog to pick up his prescription.
So what have you been up to lately?
