Yep.They waited until the sun came out and showed up after lunch when I was finally asleep.Perfect timing with them letting the pollen dry out enough to turn the place into a dustbowl.You could see the stuff 20-30 feet high in the air while they were doing their thing.

Friggin' Obama pollen.

Oh well.I'm so beat I probably would have slept through tonights games if they hadn't tormented me so.Plus it's good that I woke up and got Pops dinner ready,I have to feed him once a week or he gets cranky.

I'm exhausted after another bad night for Pops,can't sleep and I know 5 minutes after I wind down enough for my 3 hour window to crash the landscapers will show up and wake me up.

That's how they do. {#Frown}

He's down to 147.I replaced the batteries in the meter,pointed to the expiration date of 2020 on the battery package and told him he better outlast them. {#Lol}

Good point though,I'll pick a new freebie Contour meter next time we see the endocrinologist.Thanks for the suggestion. {#Hug}

My husband has diabetes, too. He gets his suppplies in the mail. They are free thanks to Medicare. I know they send new meters, it seems like about twice per year. He doesn't have to take insulin, just a pill a day.

Too much starch for lunch followed by the strudel.Taters are a ticking starch bomb for diabetics.I'm gonna give him a fingerstick at 7:30.I gave him roast beef and salad for dinner,so it should come back down.If not,I'll give him 2-3 more units,but then I'll have to be up all night to make sure it doesn't get too low.That usually happens around 3 AM.

I slept from about 9am to 1PM.Usually I can keep him reigned in,but I just didn't wake up before he'd done the damage.

Pop's got an Entemanns strudel out of the freezer while I took my eye off him for 15 minutes and scarfed about 1/4 of it down.

I also had hot and sour soup and salad set for his lunch,but he snuck some leftover taters in it(starch).

Now his blood sugar is 438. {#Frustrated}

I don't know if his usual 7 units of insulin is going to be enough.

So once again,I get to hang by a nostril over the fiery pits of Hell while I wait to see WTF is going on.

Ugh. A friend of mine, who is an amazing photographer, just experienced her first head crash with a 2TB external.

At these prices? I've got all my 2TB drives backed up with other 2 TB drives.

Tell her to try Spinrite,it's easily the best data recovery program,but takes forever.

My boss did that to me also and had a different excuse every time it wasn't on my next check. So finally I typed up my resignation and 2 weeks notice retroactive 2 weeks prior, gave it to his secretary and went back home. HR called me that afternoon and said I had the raise and claimed my boss had never even actually put me in for it until that day and because of that they couldn't make it retroactive. So I told them my resignation still stands and hung up. They called back an hout later with retroactive pay and told me my bosses boss was really pissed because he was also never told about me getting a raise and he would have had to approve it. I guess my boss got reamed out pretty good. He made promises like that to people when we were really busy and he wanted to motivate us to work harder so he finally got called out over it.

This is the email I just rec'd:

Hi S***, when a salary adjustment is entered into *****One there are levels of approval needed; HR, Finance and SR VP. I have emailed a request to******asking for his approval for this pay period. I have received No feedback that it is not going to happen. My initial response to you was factual. I did not intend to indicate that there was a delay. B****
