Sorry for the lack of blogging

Just not much to say these days. This is normally my favourite time of the year (and it still is), but this diabetes crap makes it really hard. I've barely checked my blood sugar in a month - whenever I do, it's too high, so why bother? My husband starts a new job today, hooray! But he's so demoralized over his year of unemployment that he's not feeling very holly jolly, either. While it sounds like a great job for him, he really notices the crappy pay in Canada and feels like he's been really set back, given what he was paid in Minneapolis. So we're a pretty gloomy household these days. I hope the job will work out and give him some of his spark back. I'm happily on vacation for the rest of the year starting Monday, so maybe I can try to look after myself a bit better, even though at the  moment I feel like spending the entire time in bed at the moment. Sigh.
 
Only connect

There's an article in this month's Oprah magazine (I have conflicting feelings about Oprah but quite enjoy her mag) about feeling disconnected - from family, friends, and the community. And I've actually been feeling quite disconnected from the community lately. I feel much more connected to the area where I work than where I live. I've been having daydreams about moving to a small town, just to get a better sense of community (even though I think I'd probably come to hate small-town living and know my husband would). The article recommended this web site. Better Together.org, which has some ideas for getting involved in the community. Apparently it's even really good for your health to have community connections. I'll have to see if I can incorporate any of them into my life. How do you feel connected to your community?
